suggested Partition & Spam protection/Filter

[musa]

Hello ispCP community


i am planing to install a Server with ispcp and have 2 question.
i will run like 20-30 Domains on it from friends so no hurry in setting it up
and will for sure reinstall the server multiple times till i have the final "version"
still:

on a old vhcs server i remember i had a partition like
/
swap
/var/www
/var/mail


are these also default paths for ispcs or is something like /home/www
used to store user files?


also vhcs didnt had really spam protection (atleast not that i remember)
what would you suggest? saw in forum threds maia and amavis?

and also its possible to store SPAM mails in a SPAM folder (but with Mail quotas, so once its full other will get deleted, becouse i have some lazy user).

feel free to answer in german too.

thnx and greets
Musa

german is only allowed in the grman corner :-)

the partitions:
the paths are still the same - but I'd recommend partitioning something like this:

/boot
/
/var
swap

or similar... - you have to decide.... ispcp does not force you to a certain partitioning scheme - you can run it all in one / or you can make hundreds of partitions...

ispcp has some more spam protection so there should arrive less spam on the server (postgrey and policyd) - once a mail (spam) is accepted there is no other spamfilter installed by default.
You can install maia (with amavis) - there are pros and cons.... read the respective threads...

Good luck

Hello

i'll just reuse this thread, hope its ok:

i've installed ispcp. looks ok.
the problem i have now is:
where the hell is the configuration of the policyd?

earlyer i had such stuff directly in the postfix conf
reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org,
reject_rbl_client dyne.spamrats.com,
reject_rbl_client ix.dnsbl.manitu.net,

as i understand, such stuff should go to policyd now,
cant find any conf file, even letting that one run in debug mode, dont see where he is reading the conf file.

any help/suggestions?

also a search on the forum didnt help.

man policyd-weight

have a look at the parameter "defaults" - there you'll see the defaults and then you can create a config file with your settings
