Question about Gamera...

OK, I get what this does in a nutshell and have gathered it integrates with Plesk but how?

I was reading through http://www.atomicrocketturtle.com/Jooml ... iew/77/29/ and am unsure how I can have Gamera accept all new incoming mail from new accounts and domains created in Plesk. Sure I can enter the hosts manually but is there an automatic way of doing this? Or am I missing something in regards to how each vhost accepts mail to begin with...?

Not really automated yet, I could probably script something up real quick. Sort of along the same lines as the auto secondary DNS scripts I figure. You really only need to create 2 files on the PG box, rcpthosts (which you can just copy from PSA), and smtproutes, and that could be generated from a rcpthosts file.

Yeah, bcause to me atleast, a lot of the power something like this holds is to be automatic... what are the chances you could create a script like that?

Another question for ya is what should I do to teh Plesk server to make sure it's NOT doing any of the Spam and Virus scanning?

Uninstall all anti-spam and anti-virus software?

But I would then lose the ability for users to control their spam settings from within Plesk no?

I was hoping on pointing the MySQL db setting for Spamassassin on Gamera to whatever database would be needed on the Plesk box so the settings would be used.

Is that not possible?

Yes, its possible to configure PG and PSA both to use mysql to store anti-spam settings, and in fact this is what the squirrelmail rpm from my archive (yes I know its out of date!). You'll need to read up on the spamassassin sql documentation to tie in the PG server.

What's the SA MySQL DB that Plesk uses though? I could read up of course but if you right here....

Also, is there a way that I would basically have SA still "run" on the Plesk server but not actually scan any mail (we are afterall, tryingt o cut back load on the Plesk server

)

It doesnt exactly store config settings in the db so much as it generates config files based on the settings.

The squirrelmail rpm I created will create the spamassassin tables in the horde database, which you can point to from there. In fact as a short cut, you could install the squirrelmail rpm, and then take its settings from local.cf and put that on your PG server. Then you'd only need to set up mysql on your PSA box to let you connect remotely to it, or barring that, set up a replication mysql server on your PG box.
