Hi All,
I've been subscribed for ... close to 15 years, I think? Heck, 20 is maybe
possible! ... Just reading I have learned a hell of a lot, thanks to this
community, but have never posted before. Now's the time, though, because I
really need some help and am not sure where to look for it. (I've already
done the basic searches - if I've missed something, I apologize.)
Very recently our entire /var tree got wiped out due to a bug in a backup
script someone was testing, and not only on our primary system but also on
our alternate (backup) system too. Ouch! We've had to do a complete
rebuild and apply what we can from backups.
We have pretty good backups, mostly, but on /var? Well, you learn how good
your backups are when you have a disaster just like this! And, it turns
out, we didn't have a recent local.cf (or, for that matter a lot more).
(We now backup /var and EVERYTHING in /! ... Good advice, now that disk
space is dirt cheap!)
The reason for posting is ultimately that the above denoted directive was
working fine as I was trying to rebuild things - namely:
rewrite_header Subject [SPAM]
But at some point as I made some edits, SA continues to work, and honors
everything else in the file so far as I have noted so far - such as
required hits, which is directly above it - but the subject is no longer
"rewritten" to include the above noted label.
People have come to depend on it (because we don't move it to an
alternative "folder" for them) so... Presuming this is NOT the place,
where do I find help? Or, if someone just recognizes this, please do
reply! All input welcome, thanks.
I'd never bothered to try before, but since I'm here and you have the
background, and I know it's slightly off topic: Is there an easy solution
to delivering / moving spam to a specific "folder" not involving Dovecot
on a Fedora / Postfix system? I know I could pull it off by directing all
pre-mailbox delivery to a script I write myself (via the .forward
mechanism if necessary), but I just don't have the time! Private replies
welcome!
Regards ... and thanks to the list for all the great and useful materials
- just wish I could absorb it all! (I'm now trying to relearn years worth
of stuff I've forgotten because I don't use it often enough! I only run
this one site's systems as an SA!)
