Install Fedora Core 1


Use “server” configuration

(need to detail this…)

Install Fedora Core 1 Updates


[root]# rpm -ivh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/1/apt/apt-0.5.15cnc3-0.1.fr.i386.rpm [root]# vi /etc/apt/sources.list

add the lines: rpm http://apt.sw.be redhat/fc1/en/i386 dag

rpm-src http://apt.sw.be redhat/fc1/en/i386 dag

rpm http://ftp.WL0.org apt/fedora/fc1/i386 postfix

rpm-src http://postfix.WL0.org ftp/apt/fedora/fc1/i386 postfix

[root]# apt-get remove sendmail sendmail-cf [root]# apt-get update [root]# apt-get upgrade You may have to run this multiple times. After APT updates the first time, you may get an error about not finding sources.list. If so, do: [root]# mv /etc/apt/sources.list.rpmsave /etc/apt/sources.list (you can ignore errors about duplicate sources).

Compile and Install Postfix


[root]# apt-get source postfix [root]# apt-get install rpm-build gcc gawk sed ed patch [root]# apt-get install mysql mysql-devel (if using mysql) [root]# cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES [root]# export POSTFIX_MYSQL_REDHAT=1 (if using mysql) [root]# export POSTFIX_PCRE=1 [root]# export POSTFIX_SASL=2 (if using SASL for SMTP AUTH) [root]# export POSTFIX_TLS=1 (for SMTP AUTH) [root]# export POSTFIX_SMTPD_MULTILINE_GREETING=1 [root]# sh make-postfix.spec [root]# cd ../SPECS [root]# rpmbuild -ba postfix.spec you will probably get some errors about needed RPM devel packages. for each one, do: [root]# apt-get install [root]# cd ../RPMS/i386 [root]# rpm -ivh postfix.*.rpm (or: rpm -Uvh postfix.*.rpm if postfix is already installed) [root]# chkconfig postfix off [root]# postfix stop [root]# cd /etc/postfix [root]# vi main.cf (linked file) [root]# vi master.cf (linked file) [root]# ./postfix-chroot.sh enable

Install Amavisd-New and Pflogsumm (Postfix Log Summarizer)


[root]# apt-get install pflogsumm amavisd-new [root]# chkconfig amavisd off [root]# service amavisd stop [root]# vi /etc/amavisd.conf (linked file) [root]# vi /var/spool/amavis/notify-spam-sender.txt
(linked file) [root]# mkdir -p /var/spool/amavis/tmp [root]# mkdir -p /var/spool/amavis/lookups [root]# cd lookups [root]# touch blacklist_sender whitelist_sender
(edit as necessary) [root]# vi spam_lovers add: postmaster@domain.com abuse@domain.com [root]# vi virus_lovers (same thing – add postmaster and abuse) [root]# cd ../.. [root]# chown -R amavis:amavis amavis

[root]# vi rejections.sh (attached file)

[root]# chmod a+x pflogs.sh
rejections.sh
[root]# cd /etc/logrotate.d [root]# vi maillog
add before “endscript”:
/usr/local/sbin/rejections.sh”

/usr/local/sbin/pflogs.sh

Configure SpamAssassin Rule updates


[root]# wget http://maxime.ritter.eu.org/Spam/rule-get [root]# vi rule-get change: my $real_path=”/etc/mail/spamassassin” [root]# chmod a+x rule-get [root]# cd /etc/mail/spamassassin [root]# rule-get get-rules [root]# rule-get install BackHair Weeds2 ChickenPox BigEvil TripWire EvilNumbers
