I agree - we needed to use --with-redhat on an RH8.0 installation. At 01:12 PM 2/27/2004, you wrote: hi all, I'm trying this in 2 different stock RH 7.3 boxes, following Bill's steps with the latest snapshot of courier-imap: tar -xjf tar/courier-imap-2.2.2.20040207.tar.bz2 cd courier-imap-2.2.2.

Hi Bill: Thanks for the reply. I know how to run mysql from another server but how would one move spamd and clamd to another server? Your other suggestions are good but we're using a 1U rack server that unfortunately has room for one drive (big mistake!). At 02:44 PM 2/27/2004, you wrote: Jef

Jeff, We had a similar problem, and our bottleneck was SpamAssassin and Clam Scanner. We ended up putting SpamAssassin and Clamd on a seperate machine that simply scanned the incoming messages and passed them onto the primary mail machine that housed the vpopmail accounts, etc. All you need

Hi Peter: I was thinking of that also. But didn't you lose the benefit of 'checkuser' patch. We have one domain that used to have a catch-all and now gets 40,000 spams a day addressed to every possible name. We shut down the catch-all and the checkuser patch rejects them all saving us all kind

Jeff, Yes, as Bill pointed out we do loose the benefit of the checkuser patch, but many of our users use catch-all accounts. So, in that respect there really was no downside in not going with the chkuser patch(unless I am mistaken, and it works with catchalls). Peter Jeff Koch wrote: H

We thought about using valias support but even with that mailinglists and autoresponders addresses would be missed. NFS mounting of /home/vpopmail always seems a little risky to us. We're going to try mirroring via rsync just the top couple of levels of the /home/vpopmail/domains directories so
