MG's Notes

If you have a IBM ServeRAID 8k controller and you have changed a defunct drive with new one,

and rebuilding is not starting, you must add your new READY drive to your logical drive.

Usage: SETSTATE <Controller#> DEVICE <Channel# ID#> <State> [LOGICALDRIVE <LD#> [LD#] … ] [noprompt]

if you are in this particular situation :

DEVICE is 1

disk is 0,5

and logical drive is 1

./arcconf setstate 1 device 0 5 hsp logicaldrive 1

If you do not wish to perform a GUI installation, you can start a text  mode installation using the following boot command:

boot: text

If you are having trouble booting into the graphical installation program,  you can try to boot using the no framebuffer (nofb) boot option.

At the boot command, enter the following:

boot: nofb

This option allows you to use the graphical installation program without using a framebuffer.

I have qmailtoaster installation so my users are in:

/home/vpopmail/domains/DOMAIN.XXX/USER

you need two create two file:

first called “mailfilter” can be put wherever you want (this file will be in .qmail file), me  I choose:

/home/vpopmail/domains/

so now I have:

/home/vpopmail/domains/mailfilter

second called “.qmail” must be pun in user folder in the same dir with Maildir folder, like this:

/home/vpopmail/domains/MYDOMAIN.XXX/USER/.qmail

File contents are:

.qmail

|preline /usr/bin/maildrop /home/vpopmail/domains/mailfilter

mailfilter

SHELL=”/bin/bash”
import EXT
import HOST
logfile “/var/log/maildrop/mailfilter.log”
USERHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d $EXT@$HOST`
if (/^Subject:.*\[SPAM\]/:h)
{
log “WE got a SPAM, moving mail to spam directory $USERHOME/Maildir/.Junk”
DUMMY=`test -d $USERHOME/Maildir/.Junk`
#if .Junk folder exists
if ( $RETURNCODE == 0 )
{
to “$USERHOME/Maildir/.Junk”
}
else
{
log “No Junk directory in $USERHOME/Maildir”
to “$USERHOME/Maildir/”
}
}
else
{
to “$USERHOME/Maildir/”
}

This works for users in witch dirs you put .qmail file. If you want for whole domain you must use :

/home/vpopmail/domains/MYDOMAIN.XXX/.qmail-default file instead of .qmail in user directory.

First locate simcontrol file at /var/qmail/control

The default file looked like this:

:clam=yes,spam=yes,spam_hits=10,attach=.mp3:.src:.bat:.pif:.exe

If you want to just stop spam processing for a single user you have to put:

user@domain.com:clam=yes,spam=no,spam_hits=10

in front of existing line, result:

user@domain.com:clam=yes,spam=no,spam_hits=10
:clam=yes,spam=yes,spam_hits=10,attach=.mp3:.src:.bat:.pif:.exe

for an entire domain just put:

domain.com:clam=yes,spam=no,spam_hits=10

Save an run #qmailctl cdb
