Plesk 9.2 Spam Settings

[comstech]

Is there anyway that I can setup spam is it is tagged as ***SPAM*** at score 5 and deliver (this is easy) but 5 and above delete.
I am guessing this would be a header type rule but can not work out how to add header rule scanning in to qmail

Thanks

qmail-scanner is your friend. But that is of course if you use qmail as MTA...

[comstech]

Am certainly using qmail, will this work ok with Plesk 9.2 and how to I install it and configure it?
Do I need to turn off spam and postgrey in plesk?

Sorry I am a newbie at managing my own server

[biggles]

No problem at all! We have all been there (and still are there in some areas)!

What I usually do with a new Plesk server (regarding spam that is, there are severel other things to consider).

1. Remove psa-spamassassin (the plesk spamassassin) You will lose the functionality to handle spamassassin from within Plesk, but you gain so much more (for example the ability to use an updated spamassassin!)

2. Install spamassassin from ART repo.

1) Set up the archive:
wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic.sh |sh

2) Install spamassassin, and install Clamav, qmail-scanner, and SA support packages:

yum install spamassassin
yum install clamd qmail-scanner dcc pyzor razor-agents

3) Restart the services, and update the qmail-scanner config.
service spamassassin restart
service clamd start
qmail-scanner-reconfigure

3. Configure qmail-scanner with the qmail-scanner.ini file to do your deleting for you. Last time I checked the ini-file was inside /etc

There are probably some more things to do, but this will at least get you started!

Good Luck!

edit: Don't forget to run qmail-scanner-reconfigure after editing the qmail-scanner.ini file!!!

So I could rely remove and no longer have to pay for the
Plesk for Linux/Unix Power Pack *
A bundle of the SpamAssassin, Application Pack, Helpdesk, Tomcat, ColdFusion, and PostgreSQL Add-Ons.

As I do not use Helpdesk, tomcat or Coldfusion

[biggles]

Yep, spend the money on ASL instead!

Sorry to ask such a silly question but to make this thread complete for newbies like me and so I know what to do.

How do I remove the psa-spamassain and the psa version of postgrey etc. And I guess I do this first then add in the new versions

Thanks

[biggles]

Code: Select all

sudo yum remove psa-spamassassin 

and something similar for postfix.

Code: Select all

sudo yum search postfix

should help you find the name of the postfix-package.

OK another question postgrey (greylisting is not mentioned here)

Thanks

I also get this error from freshclam

does this mean I need to chmod 755 the /var/clamav directory?

Thanks

This command failed
# qmail-scanner-reconfigure
-bash: qmail-scanner-reconfigure: command not found

Also where will I find docs on this so I can find the options for the .ini file and how to add the header info etc to emails

what version of qmail-scanner are you running? You can check with rpm -q qmail-scanner
