I would suggest to give the packages of Simon Mudd a try: ftp://ftp.WL0.org/ He publishes his packages really soon after the official release from Wietse whereas the packages of RH are always quite old and lack a lot of features. The best thing is to get the SRPM and rebuild it for your system. If you just want a normal postfix package do it with rpmbuild --rebuild postfix-2.0.8-1.src.rpm. But if you need PCRE, TLS/SSL, LDAP, SASL and/or mysql or postgres integration it's only necessary to install the SRPM with rpm -ivh postfix-2.0.8-1.src.rpm, setting some environment variables, e.g.: export POSTFIX_SMTPD_MULTILINE_GREETING=1 export POSTFIX_LDAP=1 export POSTFIX_MYSQL=1 export POSTFIX_PCRE=1 export POSTFIX_RBL_MAPS=1 export POSTFIX_SASL=2 export POSTFIX_TLS=1 REQUIRES_INIT_D=1 POSTFIX_DB=3, creating the SPEC file in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES with sh `rpm --eval '%{_sourcedir}'`/make-postfix.spec and executing rpm -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/postfix.spec. There is even an apt repository: http://postfix.WL0.org/en/apt/. More documentation can be found here: http://postfix.WL0.org/en/ (but the server seem to be down at the moment). I guess that you will find the comments in /etc/postfix/main.cf very helpfull and in most cases they should be sufficient. In contrast to sendmail are the configuration parameters of postfix really human readable! *g* And even more information and examples can be found in /etc/postfix/README_FILES/ and /etc/postfix/samples/. For the beginning in most cases it should be sufficient to adjust: $myhostname $mydomain $myorigin $mynetworks or $mynetworks_style and $relayhost. It could be necessary to set also mailbox_command = /usr/bin//procmail -t and local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps unix:passwd.byname $virtual_mailbox_maps. The best ressource for the bad_headers/body content filter can be found here: http://www.hispalinux.es/~data/postfix/ There is a "Tutorial: fight spam w/ Postfix" for FreeBSD which may be helpfull (but be aware that it is written for older versions before 1.0!): http://freebsd.sinica.edu.tw/pipermail/freebsd-taiwan-questions/2001-January/001738.html Another tutorial: MandrakeSecure: Controlling SPAM under Mandrake Linux, Part 1 http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/docs/spam.php A list with over 40 anti spam databases (not only RBL) can be found here: http://www.declude.com/junkmail/support/ip4r.htm HTH and Bye Dirk -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
