YaST2 Documentation / specially MTA

Hi,

I can’t find any detailled documentation for some yast modules, specially NETWORK SERVICES -> MAIL TRANSFER AGENT.

In ADVANCED CONFIGURATION -> MAILSERVER PREVENTION for example: what does OFF/MEDIUM/HARD stand for?

Will Spam-Mails be blocked or marked? Is there a spam-score-level? Or if I configure RBL Servers, will they be blocked or will they increase the spam-score-level?

Are there any further informations?

Thanks,
Mike

Are you running sles/sled? :-?

They seem to be “levels”: off (disable) / medium (conservative) / hard
(aggressive)

Dunno, I always do a manual tweak of that settings O:-)

I found an article under Cool Solutions:

Thanks for your reply.

I’m running opensuse 11.1

Right, they seem to be “levels”, but I want to know the effect of these “levels”. Will they block or mark mails, what will happen?

I already know this article, but im looking for some parameter dokumentation (specially für Figure 16 for expample)

Greetings,
Mike

OK, just found the information I looked for.

It seems that this YaST module doesn’t use amavis for anti-spam (only for anti-virus). It seems to use some postfix build-in features for uce-conform checking. Details can be found here:
Postfix Configuration - UCE Controls

For my understanding, it will reject mails.

/etc/sysconfig/postfix ansered my question
