don't you need to add spf to main.cf?  I got errors on policy-spf_time_limit until i added

policy-spf    unix  -     n     n     -     -   spawn

user=nobody argv=/usr/bin/policyd-spf

to /etc/postfix/main.cf

spf is added to master.cf later in the tutorial, however the line in the script to setup main.cf has an error. It says:

postconf -e "spf_policy = check_policy_service unix:private/policy" 

it should be:

postconf -e "spf_policy = check_policy_service unix:private/policy-spf"

 also the line about rbl policy is commented out with #, which postfix didn't like when I ran the script.  I just added it manually when i set up rbl.

 vi /usr/src/postfix.sh 

which makes no sense whatsoever ??

 Also, the username and password for mysql are not referenced elsewhere - I assume the user should be root, and the associated password?

 Thanks

You are creating a script to edit main.cf, so the command "vi /usr/src/postfix.sh" creates an empty file then you add the text indicated to the file.  Make sure to change the red text to match your setup.

 There is no need for your mysql password here.  You are simply adding the settings to postfix.  Make sure you remember the password you select for the baruwa db.  You will need to make sure it matches the password you set when you create that db.

I have been trying to set this up, and having problems. Even opened a thread up in forums: https://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?p=306340, however no reply so far.

 Is there anyone who can help to complete the setup ?

Rocky changed jobs so isn't as available as he once was.  What problems are you having?

Since i didn't get a notice on a reply, I didn't notice your post even. I had posted by issue on the forums -> https://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?p=306340, to which Rocky did reply. I can understand his unavailability. Is there an updated guide which i can use ?

I wish to do inbound as well as outbound spam filtering, separate ofcourse.

Thanks

just having a small issue with the setup. im new to linux but am trying to learn. so the question i have might be extremely basic but im not sure.

im getting the following error when trying to start maillscanner via /etc/init.d/mailscanner start

Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /opt/MailScanner/lib/MailScanner/Config.pm line 2588, <DATA> line 500.

so i commented out the following in the file /etc/MailScanner/conf.d/baruwa.conf

#Inline HTML Signature = htmlsigs.customize#Inline Text Signature = textsigs.customize#Signature Image Filename = sigimgfiles.customize#Signature Image Filename = sigimgs.customize

and it appears that everything is working fine. until i click the connect button in baruwa interface to test if the connection to the exchange server is valid.

it takes me to http://localhost/settings/hosts/2/test/

and says page unavailable

sorry the requested page is unavailable due to a server malfunction.

anyone got any ideas

as of 2015 installation just have to fix (like said) most of wget instructions to use up2date releases of downloaded softwares, but that's a mino issue, big problem seem that djcelery need to be migrated with command:

after the the baruwa sync procedure, otherwise it wouldn't create djcelery related tables in baruwa db (preventing message preview/train/delete, smtp test connection, and few other things via web interface) beside that.. damn great guide <3
