SpamAssassin/ClamAV

2007-01-10T20:28:48Z

Tevan1: /* Setting Up Spam Assassin and Clam Assassin */

==Overview==
Spam Assassin 3.1.4 and Clam Assassin 1.2.3 are now available for use. Spam Assassin is used to identify e-mails which have spam characteristics, while Clam Assassin uses [http://www.clamav.net/ ClamAV] to identify virus signatures. Short instructions are available to add Clam Assassin Only if the Spam Assassin check has been implemented.

Neither Spam Assassin nor Clam Assassin are enabled by default. Even though these are some of the best tools available, they are also known to filter out valid emails too. They are to be used at your own risk.

==Setting Up Spam Assassin and Clam Assassin==

# Log into your CSEE UNIX shell account. 
# Edit/create a ~/.forward file in your home directory (this sample [http://www.cs.umbc.edu/systems/.forward .forward] can be downloaded.) 
#*You want a single line which pipes all mail to procmail as shown here (replace '''''your_username''''' with your actual username): <code>"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #your_username"</code> example: <code>"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/local/bin/procmail -f- || exit 75 #brianb"</code> 
# Edit/create a ~/.procmailrc file (this sample [http://www.cs.umbc.edu/systems/.procmailrc .procmailrc] can be downloaded). 
#* If you do not have a .procmailrc file, this is needed: <code>MAILDIR=$HOME/mail</code> <code>:0fw</code> <code>| /cs/bin/spamassassin</code> <code>:0:</code> <code>* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes</code> <code>caughtspam</code> <code>:0fw</code> <code>| /cs/bin/clamassassin</code> <code>:0:</code> <code>* ^X-Virus-Status: Yes</code> <code>virus</code> 
#* If you have a working .procmailrc file, copy all of the lines above except for the line beginning with <code>MAILDIR</code> and place them near or at the top of your rules. 
# Let a few emails arrive. Spam Assassin will automatically create a .spamassassin directory and files within that directory. 
# Frequently review your "caughtspam" mail folder. Messages older than 60 days will automatically get purged. Messages that are identified as viruses will be stored in the "virus" mail folder. '''''Do not''''' attempt to open any e-mails placed in the "virus" folder since they may take advantage of a bug in a mail client and automatically execute. Please contact the CSEEIT Systems group if you need to safely review any message with viruses. 
# Options are available in the <code>~/.spamassassin/user_prefs</code> file to better catch spam messages (and better prevent false positives). See the [http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.0.x/dist/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html#user_preferences User Preferences] section in the [http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.0.x/dist/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html Spam Assassin Configuration Page] for details.

==Adding Only Clam Assassin (with Spam Assassin already enabled)==

# Log into your CSEE UNIX shell account. 
# Edit ~/.procmailrc . Find the lines: <code>:0fw</code> <code>| /cs/bin/spamassassin</code> <code>:0:</code> <code>* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes</code> <code>caughtspam</code> and add: <code>:0fw</code> <code>| /cs/bin/clamassassin</code> <code>:0:</code> <code>* ^X-Virus-Status: Yes</code> <code>virus</code>

PHP

2007-01-09T22:14:05Z

Tevan1: added regular non-CGI instructions

==Using PHP in HTML documents (recommended)==
# Create a PHP-enabled HTML file (make sure it has a .php extension), e.g. ~username/www/filename.php)
# Insert PHP statements anywhere in your file. Start each block of statements with <code><?php</code> and end it with <code>?></code> For example, to print a simple "Hello world!": <code><nowiki><?php echo 'Hello world!'; ?></nowiki></code>
# Make sure you set permissions properly on your script: <code>chmod 755 ~username/www/filename.php</code>
# Load the page with your favorite Web Browser to ensure that it works.

==Using PHP in CGI scripts==

# Using PHP on CSEE web servers is the same as using any other CGI langauge such as Perl. Review the instructions at the [[CGI|CSEE CGI Guide]] to become familiar with using CGI.
# Create your PHP file (make sure it has a .cgi extension), e.g. ~username/www/filename.cgi)
# The first line of that file should read: <code>#!/usr/site/bin/php</code>
# Write your PHP script. See the example above.
# Make sure you set permissions properly on your script: <code>chmod 755 ~username/www/filename.cgi</code>
# Load the page with your favorite Web Browser to ensure that it works.

Updating Mail Clients to Secure SMTP

2007-01-09T21:42:31Z

Tevan1:

==Overview==

In an effort to cut down on the amount of spam passing through the network, the CSEE Department has implemented an authentication policy on its SMTP server from a non-campus system.

As of June 17, 2005, in order to use the department’s SMTP server from off-campus, there are two choices:

1) use the campus VPN (no changes will be needed to be done)

2) modify your e‑mail client’s configuration as described below

Detailed instructions are provided for Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, and Mozilla/Netscape/Thunderbird. If any other program is being used, please see the mail client documentation for instructions.

The outgoing SMTP mail relay needs to be configured to support TLS encryption and the username/password authentication that is used for logging in to any CSEE system.

==Updating Microsoft Outlook to Support Secure Authentication==

==Overview==
The CSEE mail servers use a secure connection for incoming and outgoing mail; so you will need to customize your mail client in order to read and send e-mail on your CSEE account. This page explains how to configure your e-mail client for the CSEE Mail Services. This page will discuss Thunderbird, Microsoft Outlook, and MS Outlook Express. If you use a different client, please refer to your client's documentation. You will need to set up your client for the following services: 
 
{| border="1" align="center"
|'''Service'''
|'''Server name'''
|'''Port'''
|-
|Secure IMAP
|imap.cs.umbc.edu
|993
|-
|Secure POP
|imap.cs.umbc.edu
|995
|-
|Secure SMTP
|smtp.cs.umbc.edu
|25

Forward Email to another account

2007-01-08T16:25:15Z

Tevan1: Forward moved to Forward Email to another account

Your CSEE email may be forwarded to another address. Forwarding your CSEE email means that the CSEE mail server will send your incoming email to another email address of your choice. This may be convenient for some users, but please note that copies of forwarded emails will not be kept on the CSEE servers.

==Directions to forward your CSEE email==

1. Log into your CSEE UNIX shell account.

2. Type the following shell command to backup any existing email forwarding information:
mv -f ~/.forward ~/.forward-old
3. Type the shell command below to create your email forward:
echo youremail@goes.here > ~/.forward
* Replace <code>youremail@goes.here</code> with the email address where you want to forward your email to.
* This command created a new file in your home directory called <code>.forward</code> with your forwarding email address inside it.
