The Perfect SpamSnake - Ubuntu Jeos 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin - Page 2

7. Install MailScanner (Apparmor, Clamav, DCC, Pyzor, Razor and Spamassassin)

apt-get install razor pyzor clamav-daemon libclamav6 apparmor -y

 

Apparmor configuration for Clamav

Add clamav to the www-data group so that it can access the directory:

usermod -a -G www-data clamav

Now edit the profile for clamd:

vi /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.clamd

and add the following to the list of folders:

#clamav
   /var/spool/MailScanner/** rw,
   /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/** rw,

Reload apparmor:

/etc/init.d/apparmor reload

 

DCC 32bit/64bit Configuration

Install DCC from .deb source:

cd /tmp
wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonasped/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dcc/dcc-common_1.3.130-0ubuntu1~ppa2~quantal1_$(uname -m | sed -e 's/x86_64/amd64/' -e 's/i686/i386/').deb && dpkg -i dcc-common_1.3.130-0ubuntu1~ppa2~quantal1_$(uname -m | sed -e 's/x86_64/amd64/' -e 's/i686/i386/').deb
wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonasped/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dcc/dcc-client_1.3.130-0ubuntu1~ppa2~quantal1_$(uname -m | sed -e 's/x86_64/amd64/' -e 's/i686/i386/').deb && dpkg -i dcc-client_1.3.130-0ubuntu1~ppa2~quantal1_$(uname -m | sed -e 's/x86_64/amd64/' -e 's/i686/i386/').deb

Test our installation with:

cdcc info

You should get 'requests ok' from the servers.

 

Pyzor Configuration

Because pyzor doesn’t work with python2.6 very well, the workaround is to append the following to the first line of /usr/bin/pyzor to make it look like:

#!/usr/bin/python -Wignore::DeprecationWarning

Here we supply the IP address of the Pyzor server to Pyzor. This will create the server's IP address in a servers file therein. Then it will test the connection. If you are behind a firewall, open port 24441/udp in and out to your server. While you're at it also open up 6277/udp for DCC, 2703/tcp for Razor and 783/tcp for SpamAssassin:

mkdir /var/lib/MailScanner
pyzor --homedir=/var/lib/MailScanner discover
pyzor ping

 

Razor Configuration

Create the .razor configuration:

cd && rm /etc/razor/razor-agent.conf
mkdir /var/lib/MailScanner/.razor
razor-admin -home=/var/lib/MailScanner/.razor -create
razor-admin -home=/var/lib/MailScanner/.razor -discover
razor-admin -home=/var/lib/MailScanner/.razor -register 
vi /var/lib/MailScanner/.razor/razor-agent.conf

and add/update the follwing

debuglevel      = 0
razorhome 	= /var/lib/MailScanner/.razor/

 

Install dependencies:

apt-get install libconvert-tnef-perl libdbd-sqlite3-perl libfilesys-df-perl libmailtools-perl libmime-tools-perl libmime-perl libnet-cidr-perl libsys-syslog-perl libio-stringy-perl libfile-temp-perl libole-storage-lite-perl libarchive-zip-perl libsys-hostname-long-perl libnet-cidr-lite-perl libhtml-parser-perl libdb-file-lock-perl libnet-dns-perl libncurses5-dev libdigest-hmac-perl libnet-ip-perl liburi-perl libfile-spec-perl spamassassin libnet-ident-perl libmail-spf-perl libmail-dkim-perl dnsutils libio-socket-ssl-perl gdebi-core -y
wget http http://launchpadlibrarian.net/85191561/libdigest-sha1-perl_2.13-2build2_$(uname -m | sed -e 's/x86_64/amd64/' -e 's/i686/i386/').deb && dpkg -i libdigest-sha1-perl_2.13-2build2_$(uname -m | sed -e 's/x86_64/amd64/' -e 's/i686/i386/').deb

 

Download and install the latest MailScanner:

cd /usr/src && wget http://mailscanner.info/files/4/tar/MailScanner-install-4.84.5-3.tar.gz
tar xvfz MailScanner-install-4.84.5-3.tar.gz && cd MailScanner-install-4.84.5
./install.sh

Add the following to cron:

37      5 * * *  /opt/MailScanner/bin/update_phishing_sites &> /dev/null
07      * * * *  /opt/MailScanner/bin/update_bad_phishing_sites &> /dev/null
58     23 * * * /opt/MailScanner/bin/clean.quarantine &> /dev/null
42      * * * *  /opt/MailScanner/bin/update_virus_scanners &> /dev/null
3,23,43 * * * *  /opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner &> /dev/null

 

Fix Clamav autoupdate

vi /opt/MailScanner/etc/virus.scanners.conf
and update the following to: 
clamav          /opt/MailScanner/lib/clamav-wrapper     /usr/

SpamAssassin

First we need to disable the default SpamAssassin configuration file:

mv /etc/spamassassin/local.cf /etc/spamassassin/local.cf.disabled

Now let's backup the SpamAssassin configuration file in MailScanner then edit:

cp /opt/MailScanner/etc/spam.assassin.prefs.conf /opt/MailScanner/etc/spam.assassin.prefs.conf.back

 

SpamAssassin SQL Bayes

Pre-requisities: You'll need the perl-DBI and perl-DBD-MySQL modules installed.

Assumptions and Variables:

SpamAssassin Bayes Database Name: sa_bayes
SpamAssassin Bayes Database UserName: sa_user
SpamAssassin Bayes Database Password: sa_password

Create the MySQL database on the server where you intend on storing the bayesian information.

mysql -u root -p
mysql> create database sa_bayes;
mysql> GRANT ALL ON sa_bayes.* TO sa_user@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'sa_password';
mysql> flush privileges;

Import database structure: 

mysql -u sa_user -p sa_bayes < /usr/share/doc/spamassassin/sql/bayes_mysql.sql

*Note: If errors about MyISAM appears, edit bayes_mysql.sql and change TYPE to ENGINE.

vi /etc/spamassassin/v310.pre

and enable DCC:

loadplugin  Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DCC

Create the following to prevent an error in a lint test: 

mkdir /var/www/.spamassassin
vi /opt/MailScanner/etc/spam.assassin.prefs.conf

and add the following to the top:

#pyzor
use_pyzor 1
pyzor_options --homedir /var/lib/MailScanner/
   
#razor
use_razor2 1
razor_config /var/lib/MailScanner/.razor/razor-agent.conf

Fix DCC path:

dcc_path /usr/bin/dccproc

Update header string:

bayes_ignore_header X-YOURDOMAIN-COM-MailScanner
bayes_ignore_header X-YOURDOMAIN-COM-MailScanner-SpamCheck
bayes_ignore_header X-YOURDOMAIN-COM-MailScanner-SpamScore
bayes_ignore_header X-YOURDOMAIN-COM-MailScanner-Information
#use_auto_whitelist 0

"YOURDOMAIN-COM" should be replaced with whatever you used for "%org-name%" in the MailScanner.conf file. Leave the "X-" in place. This is the same orgname used in the MailScanner.conf above.

Add sql connection string to bottom:

bayes_store_module Mail::SpamAssassin::BayesStore::SQL
bayes_sql_dsn DBI:mysql:sa_bayes:localhost
bayes_sql_username sa_user
bayes_sql_password sa_password
bayes_sql_override_username root

Add it to cron:

30 01 * * * /usr/bin/sa-learn --force-expire --sync -p /opt/MailScanner/etc/spam.assassin.prefs.conf

Install missing perl packages:

perl -MCPAN -e shell
install IP::Country::Fast
install Encode::Detect
install Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA

Set permissions to bring it all together:

chown -R postfix:www-data /var/spool/postfix/hold
chmod -R ug+rwx /var/spool/postfix/hold

Test out the setup:

spamassassin -x -D -p /opt/MailScanner/etc/spam.assassin.prefs.conf --lint

Check for lines like:

debug: bayes: Database connection established
debug: bayes: found bayes db version 3
debug: bayes: Using userid: 2

You should see lines come up with DCC, Pyzor and Razor that say loading plugin and hopefully no errors.

 

MailScanner Configuration

We need to make a directory for SpamAssassin in the spool and give postfix permissions to it, if you run sa-learn --force as root, bayes databese that is stored in these directories will change to root:root and spamassassin will error looking at the db. Just keep an eye on the mail.log and you'll remember to change the permissions back. Also disable the MailScanner default configs:

mkdir /var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin

Backup your MailScanner.conf file:

cp /opt/MailScanner/etc/MailScanner.conf /opt/MailScanner/etc/MailScanner.conf.dist
vi /usr/src/mailscanner.sh

with the following content:

*Note: This step populates the MailScanner.conf file.

Make it executable:

chmod +x /etc/init.d/mailscanner

Create Symlinks for mailscanner script to work:

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/mailscanner
update-rc.d mailscanner defaults
ln -s /opt/MailScanner/bin/Quick.Peek /usr/sbin/Quick.Peek

Start the system:

/etc/init.d/mailscanner start
/etc/init.d/postfix start

Check your logs for errors:

tail -f /var/log/mail.log

Check your mail.log (tail –f /var/log/mail.log) and you should see the following:

Jun 13 12:18:23 hoshi MailScanner[26388]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner version 4.84.5 starting...

Congratulations - you now have MailScanner logging to MySQL.
