Tags: debian, ubuntu •
Comments: 3 A Short Introduction To Apt-Pinning This article is a short overview of how to use apt-pinning on Debian and Debian-based distributions (like Ubuntu). Apt-Pinning allows you to use multiple releases (e.g. stable, testing, and unstable) on your system and to specify when to install a package from which release. That way you can run a system based mostly on the stable release, but also install some newer packages from testing or unstable (or third-party repositories).

Retrieving Emails From Remote Servers With getmail (Debian Etch)
Author: Falko Timme • Tags: debian, email • Comments: 1Retrieving Emails From Remote Servers With getmail (Debian Etch) Getmail is a program for retrieving emails from remote servers; it is very similar to fetchmail, but more flexible. For example, it can be configured to deliver mails directly to a Maildir or mbox mailbox without the need for an MTA such as Postfix, but of course it can also pipe the mails through an MTA if you want. Getmail can use so called filters such as SpamAssassin and ClamAV to scan the mails, and you can even tell getmail to delete mails on the original server only after a certain number of days.

Tags: antivirus, debian, postfix •
Comments: 45 Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Debian Lenny) This document describes how to install a Postfix mail server that is based on virtual users and domains, i.e. users and domains that are in a MySQL database. I'll also demonstrate the installation and configuration of Courier (Courier-POP3, Courier-IMAP), so that Courier can authenticate against the same MySQL database Postfix uses. The resulting Postfix server is capable of SMTP-AUTH and TLS and quota. Passwords are stored in encrypted form in the database. In addition to that, this tutorial covers the installation of Amavisd, SpamAssassin and ClamAV. I will also show how to install SquirrelMail as a webmail interface so that users can read and send emails and change their passwords.

Getting High With Lenny
Author: randall •
Tags: debian, high-availability •
Comments: 0 Getting High With Lenny The aim here is to set up some high available services on Debian Lenny (at the time of writing still due to be released). Most of the documentation available for such a setup I found on the net are based on Xen but I prefer to use Vserver for the "virtualisation" because of its configurability, shared memory and cpu resources and basically the raw speed. DRBD8 and Heartbeat should take care of the availability magic in case a machine shuts down unexpectedly.
