4 Primary Areas For Tuning Your Server

I just thought I would add my two cents in for everyone. I posted an old howto with some sysctl.conf, but I think that was when I was running on my previous server using and older version of redhat. So here's a fresh howto that is a little more complete.

These configs are based on my server specs, which is a Dual 2.0GHz Xeon with 2GB of RAM running RedHat Enterprise. Depending on your server's RAM you might have to reduce some of the settings, which I'll try make notes with each section. (More)

How to setup email Smart Host to send emails via Gmail or DynDNS's smtp.

Lately my TP server was having problems sending emails to Yahoo addresses. Most emails were put under mail queue for hours. I decided to setup a Smart Host under Exim. If the recipients' emails are Yahoo addresses, the Smart Host will be engaged.

There are two SMTPs that can be used - Gmail or DynDNS. While Gmail's smtp is free, a copy of the email will be placed under the SENT EMAIL folder once it is processed. This will take up the 2Gb space soon if you have a lot of emails to process. Also, there is no one-click solution to purge emails under SENT EMAIL folder.

So I decided to use DynDNS.com's MailHop Outbound service. It is sold at the block of 150 relays per day @ $15/year. Meaning, you can process 150 mails each day. If you have more, then you have to purchase more blocks. To find out how many emails you have processed under DynDNS, log into your account and view the statistics. (More)

Install Mailscanner MRTG

This will install Mailscanner MRTG on your system. I have tested it on Ensim 3.1.10 and Ensim 3.5.17. Others have also done this on CPanel, but make sure you make the change noted...

Regular, I am not responsible for your box/you are doing this at YOUR OWN RISK... It should not screw anything up, but you are ultimately responsible if it does. I will help out as much as I can, but I am not a genius.

PREREQUISITES
1) MRTG *MUST* be installed (HOW-TO)
2) Mailscanner *MUST* be installed (I use gpans MS/SA/CM HOW-TO, but there is a MS Only HOW-TO too)

INSTRUCTIONS
cd ~
wget http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourc...rtg-0.05.tar.gz
tar -xzvf mailscanner-mrtg-0.05.tar.gz
cd mailscanner-mrtg-0.05
cp mailscanner-mrtg.conf /etc/MailScanner/
cp mailscanner-mrtg.cfg /etc/mrtg/
cp mailscanner-mrtg /usr/sbin/
cp mailscanner-mrtg.include /etc/httpd/conf/
cp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.bk

Email with attachments from command line

Sending emails from command line
I’ll describe possible ways to send emails from the command line. Of course there are much nicer ways to do it, but you may be in the situation (such as the one that drove me to do a deeper research and come out with this solution) and will need an easy and fast way to send mails from the prompt.

Simple text emails:
You can send simple emails by using the already installed sendmail program with the following command at the prompt:

echo "Simple, small body Text goes here" | mail -s "The Subject goes here" user@domain.com

If you have already typed a message in a text file, then import the text into the body of the email you are sending by using command:

mail -s "The Subject goes here" user@domain.com < text_file

Disadvantage: the email will be sent using header From: root@host.domain.com

Easy Mailscanner + Clam Antivirus + SpamAssassin *Updated 5/9/2003*

We have put together the following package which will install Mailscanner, Clam Antivirus and SpamAssassin on your Ensim 3.1, or Ensim Pro 3.5 server.

This package installs:
Mailscanner 4.22
Clam Antivirus 0.60
SpamAssassin 2.55

We have tested it on upgrades from 4.11 + Mailscanner versions without issues. If you have an older Mailscanner install, we would recommend uninstalling it first and deleting the /etc/MailScanner folder before running this package.

This package does not use f-prot as you need a commercial license for use in a business environment.
