[toaster] pop3 ssl problem

I then copied stunnel.conf from the toaster scripts to /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3ds/. I don't know if this is related or not, but it seemed like a possibility. Advice? thanks, alex .

[toaster] near-quota warning message for users
I see in the vpopmail docs how to customize the 'over quota' message that is added to a bounced message. Is there any way to configure a warning message to the user to inform them that they are nearing their quota? Outlook users who haven't set the program to remove mail from the server usually don't know about their quota, so even if I have the quota warnings enabled in SquirrelMail (and I remind them periodically) they still don't notice. I wouldn't want it sent with every incoming email, maybe just once/ day if they were within X MB of the limit or something like that. Can I do this? thanks, alex

Well, I run CentOS 4 and have created freshclam file as advised above

Re: [toaster] Spamassassin per-user rules
quote who=Nick Gilbert I REALLY wish someone made a Qmail Toaster distribution that has all the common stuff already installed to start with such that almost nobody will need to patch it. That way you would effectively have a 'standard' install that was very well supported and not different because everyone's used a different distribution/patches etc. I'd pay for it. Nick, you don't have to pay for it. And there is a product that is easy to install and use: http://www.qmailtoaster.com/ . I have used it for a couple of years and never had an issue. I have switched to Bill's toaster just because it gives me all the options. I sugest to try the toaster I mentioned above if you want the easy setup and maintenance. It doesn't include the ClamAV but there is a link showing how to add it. Give it a try. Alex
Re: [toaster] Spamassassin per-user rules
I agree. I guess I should have worded my previos reply differently: The link I provided gives an option to have almost hands-off approach to qmial-toaster. And I have to say that I do like Bill's toaster setup mainly for the reason that I have to actually works through it and hopefully learn in process. Also it gives me option to customize my install. quote who=Allen Taylor Bill's Toaster is hands down the best and easiest to use of all the Qmail toasters available (and I've tried them all, the ones worth trying anyway). Bill's version does require an individual to pay attention to detail, I know because I haven't and had to post embarrassing newbie questions on this list even though I've been doing Linux since Redhat 4.0 ;) Basic Fedora Core 3 + Shorewall (Shoreline) Firewall + Bill's Toaster = A stable, secure, robust e-mail system that I am replacing MS Exchange with in commercial settings. I'll take stability, security and robustness (and so will my customers) over bells whistles EVERYTIME. Thanks again Bill for taking the time to maintain the Toaster! Allen Taylor Indianapolis
Re: [toaster] Software update: request for guidance.
Thanks Jason! You are correct, I'm only trying to keep up-to-date with Anti-Virus / Spam. I have noticed that ClamAV have been updated to 0.84 and my logs are complaining :-) Also not sure if this help but when I tried sending test virus infected messages from one fo the online services, couple of infections got through, mainly with *.zip packaged tes files. So any recomended update for this package is a welcome option. I don't really care to keep up with toaster unless it will give me an options I really need or want. Once again, thanks for quick reply! Alex quote who=Jason 'XenoPhage' Frisvold Alex wrote: Hello, I have installed and setup toaster using instructions provided by Bill and it works great! Now is the task of keeping it up-to-date. I'm a Linux user for a while but can't consider myself to be very proficient and asking for some points. I currently have a toaster v.0.7.9 - 3/13/2005 with custom error reject patch installed and would like to update it to current. Before I mainly installed any updates using RPM's and was wondering if simply redoing the install steps for the software that requires updates will update it or do I need to first remove old versions of libraries, etc ? I have found this instructions for ClamAV update. How true they are ?: Firstly, what is your intention here? Are you looking to ensure that the antivirus and spam system is up to date, or are you looking to be up to date with the latest incarnation of the toaster? Keeping up with AV and Spam is definitely a recommended option. Keeping up with the latest incarnation of the toaster isn't something I would recommend, unless you're looking to gain the latest features. Ofcaurse I understand that I have to reuse same options for ./configure that I have used during the build. But should I actually remove the old libraries as recomended or just do an overwrite? It sounds like you're interested in updating ClamAV ... If you installed it initially via source, then I would recommend keeping with that method. Ensure that the configure options are the same (making note of any necessary changes if something has changed in the software). You should be able to safely install overtop of the existing installation and it will overwrite the files. This is one reason I recommend using a packaging system. I use RPM's here. I have rolled and maintain my own ClamAV RPMs and when I need to upgrade, the RPM ensures that the old files are removed, and the new ones are installed. This, of course, is my own personal preference... :) The assistance will greatly appreciated! If you need any more help, don't hesitate to ask!

Re: [toaster] simscan query
Sorry, not sure abot that one ... I have used Bill's toaster on a new server install and everything works as it should ... Maybe someone else with more knowledge can shed some light for you ... quote who=Nick Gilbert In that case, simscan isn't working on my box. I have no headers inserted. I'm not really sure why. I started out with a qmailtoaster.com install and then followed the instructions on the page below to install simscan: http://www.shupp.org/toaster/#simscan Do I need to do something else? Or is the qmailtoaster.com setup incompatible with B.Schupp's setup? Thanks, Nick... Alex wrote: If you look into e-mail details (header) you should be able to see if simscan is called.

I've been playing with creating RPMs, for redhat 7.x, and thought I'd see if anyone would find them useful before proceeding any further. Most definitely yes. I was thinking to do that myself very soon :) Because: I installed 7 Qmail/toaster systems during last month: 4 RH 7.3 2 RH 7.2 (still popular on dedicated servers) 1 SuSE 7.3 (my personal desktop / server for a office) I think RPMs for RH 7.3 will be very useful for me except one thing: custom apache. I am using standart RPMs which come with OS so its easy to update it with Up2Date. I do not understand why in toaster there are line 'rpm -e apache'. All my tests with RH 7.2, 7.3, SuSE are fine: standart Apache works with no changes needed... Alex -- Alex V. Koval Halogen D.G. http://www.halogen-dg.com
