The MailDroid iso image is ready for download at http://www.maildroid.org.
(at 130 MB, we'll try it for a few days to see if we can afford the traffic)
MailDroid is a special "distro" of the popular OpenBSD** operating
system that is optimized to provide a secure, spam fighting, virus
killing, Mail Filtering Gateway, "right out of the box". System
Administrators need only place the MailDroid distro CD into any modern
x86 box (Pentium III class or above) and load the system as you would
any OpenBSD install except you select the additional maildroid.tgz
package. Once all the packages are installed, reboot and the system
will come up swinging! MailDroid comes equipped and configured with:
sendmail 8.13.8 - standard OpenBSD 3.7 release
smtp-vilter 1.1.9- connect several milter back-ends to filter your
incoming mail
spamassassin 3.0.2- what more do we need to say?
cyrus-sasl 2.1.20 - SASL2 authentication daemon to use with sendmail
clamav 0.85.1- The open source anti virus milter
squirrelmail 1.4.4 SSL web mail front-end using an internal IMAP server
spamd - The OpenBSD offensive spam deferral daemon
pop3s - TLS based POP access (via stunnel 4.08 )
OpenBSD firewall based on pf
Chrooted sendmail, apache, clamav, smtp-vilter, named, PHP4.3.10 and more
Secure Web-based management console
We put all the work into building, integrating and debugging these tools
so you can spend your time, not building packages, but fighting SPAM!
While the system comes up, secure and ready to filter, reject, or label
spam, we refrain from making any major policy decisions. The system is
tunable, in a large-scale sense through the web interface, however you
can edit the actual configuration files yourself without worrying that
your changes will be lost... all config files changes are placed under
version control so if you make a mistake, you can recover easily.
MailDroid is Open Source, you are free to modify it, recompile it, use
parts of it, even repackage and sell it ( see individual component
licenses). If you choose to purchase a CD, you get one year of on-line
automatic updates for the host that you decide to register. What this
means is that if there are security vulnerabilities, or cool feature
improvements available, you don't have to wait, re-compile or
re-install, you just have to download the package, install, possibly
reboot and your done. Even if you choose not to purchase a CD, you can
still have read access to the MailDroid CVS tree, that will contain up
to the minute security patches and many feature enhancements.
MailDroid is a community effort, it is a effort of System and Network
Administrators like yourselves, and we value your suggestions, patches
and feature additions, should you choose to contribute them. We are here
to make all of our lives a little nicer and to optimize the fun!
MailDroid... Now there's a New Hope.
