Postfix and Amavis Log Reporters

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Postfix and Amavis Log Reporters.

The postfix-logwatch and amavis-logwatch utilities are postfix and amavisd-new log analyzers that produce summaries, reports and statistics regarding the operation of postfix and amavis. Either utility can be used as a standalone program, or as a filter module for the open source logwatch utility.

Works with an existing centos 5.4 install, and produces better output than the standard postfix logwatch.

Y2K10 Rule Bug – Update Your Rules Now!

2010-01-01:

Versions of the FH_DATE_PAST_20XX rule released with versions of Apache SpamAssassin 3.2.0 thru 3.2.5 will trigger on most mail with a Date header that includes the year 2010 or later. The rule will add a score of up to 3.6 towards the spam classification of all email. You should take corrective action immediately; there are two easy ways to correct the problem:

* If your system is configured to use sa-update run sa-update now. An update is available that will correct the rule. No further action is necessary (other than restarting spamd or any service that uses SpamAssassin directly).

* Add “score FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 0″ without the quotes to the end of your local.cf file to disable the rule.

Command line ebay sniping

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

As eBayAgent doesn’t seem able to keep up with changes to ebay’s HTML, I have moved to esniper. This doesn’t run as a daemon with a countdown like eBayAgent, but in conjunction with at it will do the same thing.

So far it seems reliable, and works on the UK site.
