Seems so - sorry. as for input it's rather 5% being not a spam.


with the setup I'm talking about, only 5% of the total volume currently 
received is spam.  and
that's a guestimate.

Just checked - i received 350 spams today (since 0:00) and got 4 uncatched

with the setup I'm talking about, only 5% of the total volume currently
received is spam.  and that's a guestimate.

My point is that this is 5% coming through without using an anti-spam
product.  I was trying to get a feel for the software combination I spoke
about, how effective it was without anti-spam.

And then I said that the last 5% can be cleaned up by using anti-spam
software.


I won't elaborate to you any more.

Re: Stable Mail Server And Web Mail

[Jeff Dickens]

Another option:

Qmail and Dovecot.  Actually I have multiple servers running those at 
multiple sites.  For webmail, I have use squirrelmail and perdition, 
which is an imap proxy/multiplexer.  It makes the multiple dovecot 
systems look like one to the webmail system.  You could replace 
squirrelmail with any other imap-based webmail.


For anti-spam and anti-virus I use Postini.  A dollar a month per user.  
I send no mail except via Postini, and I accept no mail except from 
Postini, enforced by both qmail's tcprules and our cisco firewalls.  The 
combination is fast, safe and low-maintenance (but perhaps not your 
definition of cheap).


I've built this thing but only have a small contingent of users on it so 
far.. the rest are still on a external host.  Last week I set up mstone, 
(see sourceforge project) and have been loading it up to see where it 
creaks.  So far so good.

Only for single machine installs as I wouldn't recommend sqlite over NFS to 
share the database.
The idea was to have one machine (or a replicated cluster) with a database and 
several mail servers getting their information from there. It's less about 
performance, more about a preference of how you want to manage your 
information.

There are many factors that could be contributing to the speed of MySQL.
For starters, what version are you employing? I believe
"databases/mysql60-server" is the latest version in the ports tree. Have
you tried using:

BUILD_OPTIMIZED=yes
BUILD_STATIC=yes

Their use could improve the speed of MySQL.

There are other options in the Makefile. Unfortunately, you have to set
them manually.

Depends on your usage. I'd say for SMTP table lookups, MySQL can out perform
PostgreSQL, unless one uses persistent connections (postfix proxy-map to be on
topic). The reason for this is that the connection start up for MySQL has
lower overhead then for PostgreSQL.

Depends on your usage. I'd say for SMTP table lookups, MySQL can out perform 
PostgreSQL, unless one uses persistent connections (postfix proxy-map to be on 
topic). The reason for this is that the connection start up for MySQL has 
lower overhead then for PostgreSQL. So typically with small tables (lookup 
maps for transport and users are generally not in the order of millions) and 
lots of connections MySQL could win. On the other hand, PostgreSQL scales 
better, especially now that the Sysv IPC shared memory limit in FreeBSD has 
been fixed. [1]

The reason for my original remark is that Oracle now acquired SAP DB, MySQL 
and Berkeley DB, so the best scenario I can see is that they improve the 
underused Berkeley DB table handler for MySQL and leave the rest in-tact, but 
I more expect them to phase out MySQL or grow it with Oracle features, neither 
of which I personally consider a good thing.

Just thought I should make a couple comments, it's not a message to change
or correct Mel's message but rather just a idea on a possible solution I
have deployed and would like input and experience/results relayed to me.


Put whatever MTA you want, I use postfix primarily.  sendmail would work
too, but I don't know exim or qmail.

Install OpenBSD's spamd (that works with PF, and ipfw support is early, but
there) on the host to block the (at last count) ~460k hosts and subnets that
are known spammers so your MTA doesn't even have to mess with it.
Include DNS Blacklisting support with your MTA.  These are the servers that
have mistakenly sent out a spam and gotten caught.  DNSBL will report to the
client that it's being blocked and how to remove it.


I'd love to hear success stories with this.  Both pieces together work very
well, and I am still working on seeing if any spam does come through.  If
spam does come through, a product like dspam or spamassassin could finish
off the job.


I don't have a live domain, so I can give directions if anybody's
interested.  Maybe one day I'll write up an article for this.


I ask please - for those who are interested in trying this, to give me the
success or not-so-success stories so I can fine tune it and work out the
missing link.

Sure. And they will accept mail for everything in the database, you will have 
no good routing as any given setting applies to any given postfix 
installation, unless you maintain internal DNS and transport maps locally and 
very carefully.
So my own database has a 'servers' table and transport / relay are 
applied per server. This way an incoming mailhub accepting for all domains can 
get transport info from the same database and multiple transport maps can be 
applied for the same domain, pending the role of the server in the mail 
network that requests the info. Postfix (and dovecot) maps simply have a WHERE 
me='mailhub.example.com' clause.

You can use a centralized database and let as many postfix, dovecot servers 
talk to that database as you want, or am i seeing this wrong.

It's a detailed how-to but consider the following:
a) With Oracle acquiring Sun, one should move to PostgreSQL where ever 
possible.
b) Spam Assassin is a resource hog, use mail/dspam.
c) While postfix-admin is ok for one box setup, it doesn't scale at all - 
you'll have to install it for every physical machine to manage that specific 
database for that box. I know of no alternatives, hence I'm rolling my own.

Anybody to know a good Stable Mail Server and Web Mail


Postfix
Cyrus
(+possible Postgres if database is needed)
Squirrel, IMP...

One can build very decent BSD or like licensed mail server, except the 
webmail part. Every available webmail package I've found are under 
GPL.

I love the following combo:

Exim as MTA
Dovecot for POP3/POP3S/IMAP/IMAPS
Vexim (http://silverwraith.com/vexim) for web based management
MySQL or PostgreSQL database
Squirrelmail for webmail with vlogin plugin for multihosting.

A good combination for webmail is:

Postfix as MTA
Dovecot as IMAP / POP3 server
Postfixadmin for webbased management.
Mysql or postgresql for the database.
and a webmail client.
This can be roundcube, squirrelmail, imp (from Horde) and so on.

Johan
