TMDA/0.65 (Python 2.2.2 on linux2) Tarball Installation Sendmail for my MTA Running from Procmail
I host an email server too. None of my users will ever get shell access, period. I shudder to think of what would happen if they did. :) I've got tmda installed and running. I've got tmda-ofmipd running too, but I'm not too sure if many of my users can handle changing their smtp port from 25 to 8025, let alone configuring their email client to use authorizaion. Besides that, I have other reasons for not wanting to run the tmda-ofmipd daemon. But there is a fairly easy way to give my users the ability to directly edit their whitelist/blacklist files. I wonder if anyone else is doing this: Install usermin (or webmin) and only have the "file manager" module available. Users have to sign in. By setting the config to "home_only=1" users can only see and access files in their home directory. Now, by default, the file manager module gives the user the ability to edit files, as well as many other things, like adding and removing files. To that end, I have hacked the java code that webmin uses, so that only the Edit feature is available. I think this might be useful. With some more hacking, maybe the file manager module can be convinced to only show the .tmda directory in a users home directory? If anyone want's my hacked FileManager.class file, let me know. -Troy --original message-- I have a simple question. Reviewing the list archives it looks like a lot of people are pretty technical and pretty sophisticated at using the filters. I am hosting mail for users who do NOT have shell access and who are not going to have shell access. Configuration is Linux/Apache/Squirrelmail. I am investigating the different spam filters. I like the TMDA whitelist approach. However, I need my users to be able to make use of the anti-spam functionality as brainlessly as possible. NO editing of any files on the system by the users is permitted. Any and all file editing will be done at the system level and will cover all users or none, and of course I want to minimize that. Thus the question - under those conditions, is TMDA still useful? -- _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
