Configuring SpamAssassin for Postfix on CentOS

by

0

In the process of receiving email, spamassassin will stand between the outside world and the email services running on your server itself. If it finds, according to its definition rules and configuration, that an incoming message is spam, it will rewrite the subject line to clearly identify it as such. Let’s see how.

The main configuration file is /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf, and we should make sure the following options are available (add them if they are not present or uncomment if necessary):

local.cf
report_safe 0
required_score 8.0
rewrite_header Subject [SPAM]

When report_safe is set to 0 (recommended value), incoming spam is only modified by modifying the email headers as per rewrite_header. If it is set to 1, the message will be deleted. To set the aggressivity of the spam filter, required_score must be followed by an integer or decimal number. The lesser the number, the more sensitive the filter becomes. Setting required_score to a value somewhere between 8.0 and 10.0 is recommended for a large system serving many (~100s) email accounts. Once you’ve saved those changes, enable and start the spam filter service, and then update the spam rules: Continue reading “Configuring SpamAssassin for Postfix on CentOS” »

Install cPanel on CentOS 7

by

0

cPanel is an online Linux-based web hosting control panel that provides a graphical interface and automation tools designed to simplify the process of hosting a web site or email.

Prerequisite:

  • Launch a CentOS 7 instance (Only install cPanel & WHM on a freshly-installed operating system).
  • Access the instance via SSH.
  • Run all the following commands from the shell/terminal (All commands need to be run as the root user).
  • You need to purchase your own cPanel license to use the control panel.

Instructions:

Step 1: Set a valid hostname (FQDN) for your system. Note: Replace “your-hostname.example.com” with a FQDN.

hostname <your-hostname.example.com>

Step 2: Disable SELinux.

sed -i ‘s/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled/’ /etc/selinux/config

Step 3: Download and run the installation script. Tips: You may use the screen utility in case your session disconnects during installation.

cd /home && curl -o latest -L https://securedownloads.cpanel.net/latest && sh latest

Step 4: Wait for the installation to complete.

Step 5: While waiting for the installation, you might want to allow all the required ports on the security group for your instance (eg: WHM SSL, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS). Please follow the guide here.

Note: To know which ports are used by cPanel & WHM, please refer to this official documentation: https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/CKB/How+to+Configure+Your+Firewall+for+cPanel+Services

Step 6: Set a password for root.

passwd

Step 7: Browse to https://<your-server-ip>:2087 to access the WHM, and login as root.

Install Mariadb on CentOS 7

by

0

MariaDB is an open-source relational database management system, backward compatible, binary drop-in replacement of MySQL. It is developed by some of the original developers of the MySQL and by many people in the community. With the release of CentOS 7, MySQL was replaced with MariaDB as the default database system.

If you, for any reason need to install MySQL, check the How to Install MySQL on CentOS 7 tutorial. If your application does not have any specific requirements, you should stick with MariaDB, the default database system in CentOS 7.

In this tutorial we will show you how to install the latest version of MariaDB on CentOS 7 using the official MariaDB repositories.

Prerequisites

Make sure you are logged in as a user with sudo privileges before proceeding with the tutorial.

Install MariaDB 5.5 on CentOS 7: The version of the MariaDB server provided in default CentOS repositories is version 5.5. This is not the latest version though, but it is quite stable.

Follow the steps below to install and secure MariaDB 5.5 on CentOS 7:

Install the MariaDB package using the yum package manager:

sudo yum install mariadb-server

Press y when prompted to proceed with the installation. Once the installation is complete, start the MariaDB service and enable it to start on boot using the following commands:

sudo systemctl start mariadbsudo systemctl enable mariadb

To verify that the installation was successful, check the MariaDB service status by typing:

sudo systemctl status mariadb

The output should show that the service is active and running: Continue reading “Install Mariadb on CentOS 7” »

Reinstall VirtualBox on Ubuntu & CentOS

by

0

For Ubuntu

To remove virtualbox

sudo dpkg --list virtualbox-*
sudo apt autoremove --purge virtualbox*
dpkg -l virtualbox* | grep ^i

Remove all PPAs from sources.list and source.list.d directory

mkdir ~/apt-tmp
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ~/apt-tmp

Make sure there is nothing except official repositories sources in /etc/sources.list. And update your sources:

sudo apt update

Now we can search to see which versions are available to install:

apt-cache madison virtualbox | grep -iv sources

Which produces an output like this:

virtualbox | 5.0.32-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.2 | http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu xenial-updates/multiverse amd64 Packages
virtualbox | 5.0.18-dfsg-2build1 | http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu xenial/multiverse amd64 Packages

Then I would install the last version mentioned in xenial-updates: Continue reading “Reinstall VirtualBox on Ubuntu & CentOS” »

Disable FirewallD and Enable Iptables on CentOS 7

by

0

Download and Install the Iptables Service

To begin your server’s transition, you need to download and install the iptables-service package from the CentOS repositories. Download and install the service files by typing:

sudo yum install iptables-services

This will download and install the systemd scripts used to manage the iptables service. It will also write some default iptables and ip6tables configuration files to the /etc/sysconfig directory.

Construct your Iptables Firewall Rules

Next, you need to construct your iptables firewall rules by modifying the /etc/sysconfig/iptables and /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables files. These files hold the rules that will be read and applied when we start the iptables service.

How you construct your firewall rules depends on whether the system-config-firewall process is installed and being used to manage these files. Check the top of the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file to see whether it recommends against manual editing or not:

sudo head -2 /etc/sysconfig/iptables

If the output looks like this, feel free to manually edit the /etc/sysconfig/iptables and /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables files to implement the policies for your iptables firewall:

output
# sample configuration for iptables service
# you can edit this manually or use system-config-firewall

Open and edit the files with sudo privileges to add your rules:

sudo nano /etc/sysconfig/iptables
sudo nano /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables

After you’ve made your rules, you can test your IPv4 and IPv6 rules using these commands:

sudo sh -c 'iptables-restore -t < /etc/sysconfig/iptables'
sudo sh -c 'ip6tables-restore -t < /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables'

If, on the other hand, the output from examining the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file looks like this, you should not manually edit the file: Continue reading “Disable FirewallD and Enable Iptables on CentOS 7” »
