I do that with sieve. Install dovecot-pigeonhole, add sieve to the
Dovecot lda/lmtp protocol list (this assumes you are using Dovecot for
local delivery), then add a sieve_before entry in the plugin section to
point to a global sieve script. I use this one (to filter based on a
header):
if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" {
fileinto "Spam";
}
Don't forget to compile your sieve script. Also, if you filter on a
header, you may need to double the filter (put the same thing twice) due
to a old Dovecot bug that Red Hat has not yet fixed:

Btw, coming to this thread late, let me note that this is standard for everywhere I've worked: make a partition (or nfs mount) for /home, or /data, or whatever, so that when you did an upgrade to the next full release, you could say "install", rather than update, and "sure, wipe my / and /boot (but not anything else). mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Thanks for this thread. I'm actually looking at the same settings for a
different reason. Most of our environment is VMWare-based and one major
difference between the Linux and Windows clients is how they use "free"
memory. Linux grabs it for cache ("Free memory is wasted memory.") but
Windows doesn't appear to touch it at all. This means the VMWare hypervisor
can over-commit memory.

Well, after the deafening silence in response, I assumed the answer was "no", so I downloaded the SRPMs of less for both C6 and C7, and did a comparison. I found that it was easy to fix the C6 less to use the correct POSIX regex engine as follows: 1. Copy less-394-search.patch from the C7 SRPM, and add it back into less.spec as Patch2. 2. Remove the line "BuildRequires: pcre-devel". 3. Remove "--with-regex=pcre" from the %configure line in less.spec. 4. Change the release number. I changed 13 to 13posix, so that the resultant RPMS have names like less-436-13posix.el6 instead of less-436-13.el6 5. Rebuild RPMs and SRPM using "rpmbuild -ba less.spec". 6. Install using "yum localinstall". The resulting build of less works wonderfully on my C6 boxes, consistently with the versions on C4, C5 and C7. I'm sure there must be other people who would find the corrected RPMs useful, so my questions now are: a) Is there a contributors repo to which it would be appropriate to submit them? b) Is there a better way to number the release for this version?

A rather "old > school" approach that's worked pretty well for me all these years. i never said you had to use one partition for any files. multi partitions for / paths is not really "old school". it is a feature of "custom". you define what each partition is use for. ie, partition for boot, partition for swap, partition for /, partition home, partition for usr, partition for var, partition for home2, partition for what ever. -- peace out.

that model is not generally recommended anymore, at least not putting
/usr on its own partition, there's just too many issues with that
nowdays. I don't like putting /var in its own partition either as its
all too intertwined with root. the problem with lots of little
partitions is your freespace gets fragmented.
/home in a dedicated partition, sure.

The minimum space required to install CentOS 7 is 10 gigabytes[1], although you certainly will want more. Windows 7 is going to need more space, but with 2TB, you’re could easily just split it down the middle and have plenty left over. I would suggest a separate /home partition, to make upgrading easier (see other threads[2] on this list). If you plan on running a service on the system, a separate partition for that data might also be prudent. Also, you appear to have a broken keyboard. I suggest checking whether any of your punctuation keypresses are generating characters. 1. http://wiki.centos.org/About/Product 2. http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2015-June/thread.html#152717 -- Jonathan Billings ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The real issue is that you cannot put /usr on a dedicated partition
anymore as of CentOS 7. This is because /bin, /lib and /lib64 are
symbolic linked in the /usr equivalents now. The (previous) purposes of
having a separate /bin and /lib was so that programs and libs required
at boot time could be run before the rest of the fs was mounted up if
/usr were on a separate partition. Now they've been consolidated and
symlinked so if you put /usr on a separate partition then the system
won't be able to access critical apps during boot.
You can thank Fedora for making that rather pointless change and
breaking that capability.

i agree with you 100%.
op inferred that i told him to put everything in 1 partition, which
i did not. so i was just telling him if he wanted to be 'old school'
he could partition what every his heart desired. ;-)
for my 'base' os partitioning is /boot, swap, /, /home.
all additional installs are /, swap, /home. after install if/and
install part 2 boot, i restart to base, i log in as root, copy
grub.conf into /grub of base /boot as grub.conf-newosname. then i
cut/paste lines into my main grub.conf. make notations in 'title'
line. next i copy base /root files that customize user root so i
have same 'root' operation across all installs. the i reboot to
new install and set it up.

Servers are better off without a separate partition for /home. Unlike
desktop installs which contain pretty much all of the user data under
/home in a server install there isn't very much "user" data at all and
most of the actual data is contained under /var somewhere.
That said, if you plan on having multiple users who will store some data
in their individual /home directories then /home might be in order for a
server, it all depends on your individual needs, it's just that on a
server I don't automatically create a massive /home like I would on a
desktop.

Its > generally easier to install Windows first, then set aside unpartioned space > to install CentOS on after the windows install is complete. My other post in this thread tells you how to free up some space on the drive (after a Windows install) into which you can install Centos. This one tells you how to install Centos-7 into that space AND make it dual-boot with Windoze. The default Centos installation(s) do not recognize the windows installation as a bootable alternative (or at least mine didn't) and therefore do not automatically give you dual-boot capability. But here's how to solve that (I'm pretty sure this works only for Centos-7): 1. so the first step is to go ahead and install Centos in the free space. 2. boot it up, run "yum update" to update any packages that have been updated since your CD image was made. 3. install the epel repo for your version of Centos (presumably you're going to install Centos-7). "yum install -y epel-release" 4. Do "yum install ntfs-3g ntfsprogs" 5. Then run: "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg" and voila! you've now got a dual-boot Centos-7 and Windoze! do not enter the quotes when typing in the recipes above. they are here only to separate the commands from my blithering. Note tat you'll need to be the root user for everything from step 2 onward. -- Fred Smith -- fre...@fcshome.stoneham.ma.us - "For the word of God is living and active.

Servers are better off without a separate partition for /home. Unlike
desktop installs which contain pretty much all of the user data under
/home in a server install there isn't very much "user" data at all and
most of the actual data is contained under /var somewhere.
I tend to install my virtual host websites under
/home/someuser/public_html where there's a someuser for each vhost. the
default /var/www website is generally completely stubbed off and not
even used.

[CentOS] exclude directory from rsync
