Greetings,
I have just installed 6.3-Release on brand new hardware.
In the past, I have not done much to a machine after
initial installation. What should be done to a machine
after successful installation of 6.3-release ? Do I need
to compile a custom kernel ? Do I need to apply any
patches ?
What I do is lay down an /etc/supfile[1] containing what's needed to
bring the system fully up-to-date regarding base and ports. I like to
track the -security branch (RELENG_6_3) but many just track stable
(RELENG_6).
Run csup -g -L2 /etc/supfile
Thereafter {build|install} {kernel|world} and follow with pkg_add -r
portaudit, portmaster and any other ports I find useful[2].

Re: Spam filtering with dspam and postfix
J. Johnston wrote: Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good howto, or some tips for filtering spam using dspam in a setup where virtual users (various domains) are stored in LDAP. Currently we hand off email to dspam in the filter stage and dspam hands it back into postfix as lmtp, the problem with this is the current setup uses (and only howto I can find) one user for dspam, so the quarantine is under one username, we would like to separate this so each [EMAIL PROTECTED] has their own quarantines. Just setup postfix + dspam + procmail last week, although on Ubuntu...conceptually the same. Here is the article I followed: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/focus_spam_dspam?page=0%2C0 I used dspam as the delivery agent (mailbox_command) which in turn calls procmail. Turning this into a working configuration took a LOT of tuning... it's still not quite right but alas DSPAM (after training) is doing a nice job of filtering more than 90% of what gets past the DNSBL. End result, I am only seeing a few spam messages per day, and those are the odd/terse kind. -- Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints... Mark D.

Were I in your shoes I would make sure to run (revert to?) a GENERIC kernel in the VM then use g4u to image the entire drive(s). But this will only work if the destination drive is larger than the source. There are many things that can go wrong in this sort of procedure and you should plan to be cunning and persistent or fail in your attempts.
