that guide is not just on creating a cert. it’s on the implementation of ssl.
i have it all running.

the key is to not use the optional passphrase.

[iztech]

so you can hit http://www.domain.com
and not http://www.domain.com/Webmail?

have you checked in your webserver directory for the Webmail folder, maybe it’s named something else.

[iztech]

follow this example.
it works very well and is easy to set-up.
i used a qualityssl.com cert and everything is good.

<http://www.entropy.ch:16080/software/macosx/docs/mod_ssl.html&gt;

there are instruction for options on creating a self cert and a purchased cert.

[iztech]

yes, i did make the mistake of not entering sudo cpan

everything ran and i got an ok but when running amvisd debug i get…

Net::Server 2004/05/12-10:57:44 Couldn’t open pid file “var/amavis/amavisd.pid” [permission denined].\n\n at line 268 in file /Library/Perl/5.8.1/Net/Server.pm
blah, blah Server closing!

please note i did not install Mail::SpamAssassin since it’s already running. i assume if i run it will wipe out my current settings

i am going to read your new article mactroll

[iztech]

i believe you will be okay in 24 hours.
some servers are still using there cache and that’s why it is not resolving properly.

[iztech]

thanks for the script to startup amavis.

i have been running everything with the debug window.

please look at the post “spam getting through, virus emails get stopped”
i have posted a log.
virus are being blocked but not spam.

in the header it is showing x-virus scan by amavisd-new but nothing indicating spam scanning.

also the amount of spam coming through is another indication that spam is not being stopped.

not sure how i can trouble shoot this.

thanks

[iztech]

seems like your reject file is blocking entire domains?

atleast you got spam blocked mine just keep coming thru (see other post).

[iztech]

i assume you want this to work only internally. if not you have to set-up some type of port mapping.

you should post one of your dns files so we can see it clearly.

here’s the set up i use

ns1.domain.com. A x.x.x.x
ns2.domain.com. A x.x.x.x
domain.com. MX mail.domain.com.
mail.domain.com. A x.x.x.x

good luck.

[iztech]

as i mentioned spam is coming through.
so i decided to bounce a spam that i received and guess what my mail server bounced it back to me stating that i am sending spam.

so the spam filtering is working but only on outgoing mail not on incoming mail.

[iztech]

i am using os x client not server

[iztech]

okay so i got some information today that i believe is causing the problem.

this might help some others so i am posting this.

i used postfix enabler to turn on postfix, imap, pop and sasldb

i then installed the clamav and amavisd according to the article here which i believe configures cyrus.

if this is the case this could be my problem. if anyone knows how i can debug this i would be gratefull.

if not i will be doing a clean install without postfix enabler.

[iztech]

i was able to telnet to using pop and imap but can not login.

i must be missing something basic here.
if i turn off authentication then all works well.

[iztech]

thanks for helping.

everything is working. that is except my login system.
that’s why my previous post states where is the mail going…

when i changed from authentication to plain password checking using accounts created for each user in the system everything worked.

i hope i don’t have to end up with this method.

i have created a new thread discussing this.

[iztech]

okay, so i turned off sasldb authentication and all works well.

i can now login and check the mail.

the only problem is that i do not want to create a new account for each email user i have.

also there is an issue of security if you don’t have sasldb method turned on.

what are the other methods to use. i can not authenticate on ip addresses because clients could be checking mail from anywhere.

i also have to support mac and windows email apps. mostly outlook and apple mail.
