spamdyke and Plesk 8.6

[fdoibz]

Hi everyone,

Anyone have tried the Spamdyke HOW-TO (http://www.blueoryx.info/linux_administration/spamdyke) with Plesk 8.6 ?
I'm really interested in trying another anti SPAM solution rather than spamassassin included in Plesk.

Any experience will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It does not work an my Centos5.2 In Services SMTP gets red and Mail is not working anymore.

But this Problem seems to be in Centos5 only

Hello,

I have tried it, followed it step by step and it works perfectly. It's the only credible solution I have found to block literally hundreds of spam messages a day. It allows you also to keep SMTP authentication. Yesterday alone it blocked 1527 spam messages!

P.S. 1: It is true that in services management you'll have a red cross in the SMTP service, but the service is actually working.

P.S. 2: I also have Centos.

I have the qgreylist package in my yum archive, does the exact same thing. You can add it with:

wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic |sh

yum install qgreylist

Hi Scott,

Umm... you know spamdyke's greylisting feature is actually only a tiny part of what it does? Many people don't even bother to enable that part.

The main features are options to:
reject if no rDNS
reject if rDNS doesn't resolve to an IP
delay answering just a tad to put off spammers
reject if CCed/BCCed to more than X recipients
full auth loggins
full dnsrbl reject logging
whitelists for just about every option
blacklists for just about every option
err....there's loads more.

That's why I keep saying it is the best thing since sliced bread. Seriously. Greylisting is just a bit of icing

Spamassassin does all that too, Im not faulting spamdyke though. Its a nice package.

One programmer from Serversupportforum(.de) wrotes a nice tool for Spamdyke in Plesk (Plesk Spamdyke Control Panel). It´s just only beta and it only works with spamdyke and it´s simply nice
