Since iRedMail-0.7.0
, quarantining related settings in Amavisd are configured
by iRedMail but disabled by default, you can easily enable quarantining with
this tutorial.
With below steps, Virus/Spam/Banned emails will be quarantined into SQL database. You can then manage quarantined emails with iRedAdmin-Pro.
Edit Amavisd config file, find below settings and update them. If it doesn't exist, please add them.
/etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf
or /etc/amavisd.conf
./etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user
./usr/local/etc/amavisd.conf
./etc/amavisd.conf
.# File: amavisd.conf
# Change below 3 parameters to D_DISCARD.
$final_virus_destiny = D_DISCARD;
$final_spam_destiny = D_DISCARD;
$final_banned_destiny = D_DISCARD;
# Quarantine SPAM into SQL server.
$spam_quarantine_to = 'spam-quarantine';
$spam_quarantine_method = 'sql:';
# Quarantine VIRUS into SQL server.
$virus_quarantine_to = 'virus-quarantine';
$virus_quarantine_method = 'sql:';
# Quarantine BANNED emails into SQL server.
$banned_quarantine_to = 'banned-quarantine';
$banned_files_quarantine_method = 'sql:';
Also, make sure you have below lines configured in same config file:
# For MySQL
@storage_sql_dsn = (
['DBI:mysql:database=amavisd;host=127.0.0.1;port=3306', 'amavisd', 'password'],
);
# For PostgreSQL
#@storage_sql_dsn = (
# ['DBI:Pg:database=amavisd;host=127.0.0.1;port=5432', 'amavisd', 'password'],
#);
Restart amavisd service to make it work.
Update iRedAdmin-Pro config file, make sure you have correct settings for Amavisd:
/var/www/iredadmin/settings.py
./usr/share/apache2/iredadmin/settings.py
./usr/local/www/iredadmin/settings.py
./var/www/iredadmin/settings.py
.# File: settings.py
amavisd_db_host = '127.0.0.1'
amavisd_db_port = 3306
amavisd_db_name = 'amavisd'
amavisd_db_user = 'amavisd'
amavisd_db_password = 'password'
amavisd_enable_logging = True
amavisd_enable_quarantine = True
amavisd_quarantine_port = 9998
# This setting is used for per-recipient spam policy
amavisd_enable_policy_lookup = True
Restart Apache web server to make it work.
You can now login to iRedAdmin-Pro, and manage quarantined mails via menu
System -> Quarantined Mails
. Choose action in drop-down menu list to release
or delete them.
Screenshots attached at the bottom.
If you want to quarantine clean emails into SQL database for further approval or whatever reason, please try below steps:
# File: /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf
$clean_quarantine_method = 'sql:';
$clean_quarantine_to = 'clean-quarantine';
$policy_bank{'MYUSERS'} = {
...
clean_quarantine_method => 'sql:',
final_destiny_by_ccat => {CC_CLEAN, D_DISCARD},
}
Now all clean emails sent by your mail users will be quarantined into SQL database.
