Black & white list per user (Spam / user_prefs / local.cf)

Hi all,
the mail server is quite good and the spam filtering is good to, but i would like to offer some user specific options.
a user should be able to have a blacklist / whitelist or he should be able to change the score level for spam.
is that possible ?
I could modify the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf and add some blacklist_from entries. This workes after a serveradmin stop mail and start mail.
but i would like to use the /users/<username>/.spamassassin/user_prefs file oder local.cf file but this doesn't work. What does I need to do ? Finally o would like to use a squirrelmail plugin to configure spamassassin.
THanks for any help
Greetings Roger

It's amavisd that calls spamassassin (and clamav), and as such you should do your whitelisting in/via amavisd.
You can read through amavisd itself as it's quite well-documented (use less or any other read-only tool !),
and also read at the software's site,

LG G2 block text message black/white list ???

K, I just got the LG G2 the other day and say that when you go to block a text message there is a black and white list.
What are the differences?

Dizzybandit, I want to make sure that we are getting you the correct information. I'm not exactly finding where this list is at. Can you please tell me where you see this? Are you going into Messaging (the Green smiley face conversation bubble)? Or are you using a different application? We really want to get to the bottom of this ASAP.

Flex connect with a per user ACL with APs locally switched

Hi all,
Does flex connect allow a per user ACL to be downloaded to the session with local switched, central authentication? We are using ISE for the central policy engine and have setup dACL for wired but am about to embark on WLAN. The controller is a 5508 and the. APs are 3700's.
Second question- if the flex connect APs don't do any form of per user ACL, the other option is to have the units in regular mode where they are both centrally switched and centrally authenticated which I understand to support a per user ACL. Our WAN links are between 10mbps - 30mbps and the most latency would be around 40ms. Will this cause issues at all with the size WAN links and latency?
Thanks

Well you are running v7.6 so FlexConnect per user radius ACL's are supported per this doc since v7.5.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/5500-series-wireless-controllers/112042-technote-product-00.html#anc9
As far as WAN latency, 200ms is good, but it depends in your WAN utilization now and how many AP's you plan on installing and the increase in wireless traffic across your WAN. There is a minimum requirement, but it's up to you in the end to make sure you have enough bandwidth or else you will need to QoS the capwap traffic to ensure the APs don't bounce from connected to stand alone.

"Make proxy settings per-machine (rather than per user)" Group Policy setting not applied until login as a local Administrator

We want to deploy to all our desktop the pac file to configure proxy. We have a Windows 2008 R2 server, and i've enabled the GPO "Make proxy settings per-machine (rather than per user)", and i've add a registry key AutoConfigURL in "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
Version\Internet Settings" with the pac file link.
I've tested on my pc, and all was configured without any problem. I've try to login to my computer with another user (without admin rights) and the automatic configuration proxy was compiled and not modificable. It's seems that all works.
But, our users are not local admin, so i've tried to deploy the GPO in a collegue computer. I've forced the update of GPO, checked on registry that all new keys are added, and i've reboot the pc. When i've check on IE settings, autoconfig URL was empty and
grey. I'm disconnected from user and i've login to the pc with a local admin. With my surprise, the IE settings was compiled. When i'm come bac to the user profile the IE settings was compiled and not modificable.
The problem is: i've over 750 users in 3 countries, and i don't want grant them the local admin permissions. How can i configure proxy settings via GPO without login to every machine at least one time?

In the past, we experienced various issues with machine proxy settings,
so we don't use them anymore. The simple approach:
Block access to the connections page through ADM template settings and
deploy the proxy through GPP Internet Settings.
This is what we do (with a pac file, too), and it works well :)

Define Output type and Local destination per user

Hi Gurus,
Nowadays us have defined Output type by Sales Organiztion/Order Type (S_TCODE = VV11).
Is possible define Output type and Local destination per user?. How to do?.
thanks and best regards,
Wilson

Hi Wilson
As per my understanding of requirement: you want output type and Local destination for each SAP End user (i.e. who is processing sales order) not the customer. If this is the requirement, we have two solution for it:
1) If for a particular region/sales district customer are contacting to one particular destination, then create access sequence with output type/order type/sales district. Means for one sales district one Local destination. If sales district is big area and you have many local destination with in that, then you can divide it into regions.
2) Ask your ABAPer to create a Z table and maintain Local destination for all Users. And amend the print program such that before saving the output entry into NAST table, based on SY-UNAME(user's id), fetch the printer (local destination) from Z table and update the NAST table accordingly.
As per my observations, option 2 is simpler and more effective.
try and revert.

The 'monitor -> internal users' page in the Ironport WebGUI gives you user mail flow details for internal users(both inbound and outbound email). You can search for a specific user and obtain user specific stats. Also, these reports may be imported to CSV format if you need to plot them separately.

List of users of portal per group

Hi all,
I need to make a list of portal users of each group.
Where is the table, procedure, function...etc for that ?
Exist some solution ?
Thanks!!!

Search for LDAPSEARCH in metalink. I've seen a stored procedure that one may use to list either users or groups. You have to use both if you want to dump list of groups with users. Optionally there's an LDAPSEARCH command that may be used via command line. Refer to Metalink Note 251776.1. This note will give you syntax on the command line LDAPSEARCH. In order to do this though, you must know the base domain parameters for your portal groups...which you can obtain from the Administrator -> Global Settings -> SSO, and you also must know the password to your orcladmin superuser account that's used to login to the LDAP.
Hope this helps...

EP 701 list roles per users without java developement competencies

Hello,
We are running SAP EP 701 SPS6. (UME = J2ee databse itself)
As a sap basis administrator , I am frequently being asked by the the security team , to produce list of users with all their role/group assigned, the same kind of information that SUIIM would provide in a few minutes on ECC for example.
I know that theire are several similar topics in this forum, but the responses are centered around J2ee/NWDS/WD java developements,
unfortunatly I am not a J2ee developer.
So the only option I have is to export the users from the Identity management into Excel and then try to customize the file.

There is a blog on SDN , but unfortunatly it doesnt seem to suit my requirements.
We have more than 30000 users, each time it takes me several days to generate the list,.
I am not the only one here experiencing this problem, is there anyone here that has another recipe ?

IPOD Color- Corrupted- restored- black/white menu+not working (WinXP)

I got an iPOD Color Display last year, few days ago, it started going nuts. Windows were not recognizing etc.
After the restart-reboot-restore it has a Black/White GUI and still windows can not recognize it. Windows say that it is a generic USB hard drivem iTunes say that it needs to be restored (and after every restoration, it needs to be restored again, and it is not working anymore, even if it is alive).
iPOD's screen shows the exclamation mark over an envelope.
HELP!!!
Is there any advance utility, which for example, could make iPOD an image of a filesystem, in order to everything be overwritten (factory settings)

Hello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.
Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

My iPod displays black & white battery charge icon and sad iPod face. help!

I plugged my iPod into an older iMac; it froze and had to be restarted.
I restarted it and started listening on shuffle.
It would skip through all of my songs without me pressing any buttons.
I restarted again and it worked fine.
I came home and plugged it into my 10.3.9 iMac and the tracks started skiping and barely playing on iTunes.
I tried to eject it, but it wouldn't...so I unplugged it.
I then restarted it, but after the silver-on-black iMac icon came up, the sad iPod face showed.
So I pluged it back into the computer. It spontaniously restarted when I tried all of the steps of restarting and reinstalling.
Then it just displays a black& white old battery charge icon with a thunder bolt that flickers on the screen now and then.
And continues to restart itself with first the apple icon turning into the sad ipod face and then into the battery charge icon.
I really do not want to restore my iPod. I am hoping to keep my files but at this point, my future is bleak.
This happened last night. They said it might just be my battery so I kept it plugged in for about 10 hours. Nothing.
What can I do?
Please, please help.

You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.
2. Do a search on Google and some topics on this discussion forum about “Sad iPod”
What should I do with my iPod? Send it or keep it?

Leopard Server white list options

Greetings
I have a Leopard server running 10.5.6 that is hosting IMAP mail service. I have one person who reports that he can't send mail from his company account (not hosted on the server) to his contact within the company (hosted on the server). I have NOT seen the header from his rejected mail messages. I have been asking him, but he has not sent it to me yet.
I am using spamhaus.org as a blacklist, but I verified that his company is not blacklisted.
I assume he is blocked by the spam filter for sending one too many junk messages to his friend's account. These guys send lots of junk to each other.
My question is: how can I whitelist this specific email account?
Any method that works will be fine. I have a slightly modified postfix config account to allow comcast users to connect, etc. I am not a linux expert.
Thanks,
-n

Edit the file /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
and add one of two flavors of white list..
The first assumes you know the source mail server the email address originates from and is slightly more secure.
whitelistfromrcvd [email protected] skytel.com
Or just whitelist the email address regardless of where it comes from.
whitelist_from [email protected]

C:\users\owwner\AppData\local\apple\applesoftwareupdate\itunes64.msi can not be found

itunes on my boys computer got corrupt. I believe it was when I tried updating. Anyhow, I have downloaded teh current itunes file from apple and when I install it a window comes up that says it can not find C;\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\applesoftwareupdate\itunes64.msi
I have done a search all over the computer and that file does not exist. I tried repairing itunes in control panel and it comes up with the same message. I tried deleting itunes in control panel and the same thing.
I tried deleting all files that contained itunes or apple in my compter because I thought there might be some hidden file that was saying there was an older version still installed and keeping if from installing right.
Any ideas how to get itunes back on this computer? It will not load.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Is there any other way to achieve per user call forward restriction other than to create multiple voice policies?

Hello,
We mentioned the environment details below:
Environment
In our PBX environment, currently a user can forward calls to any local (within a region) internal extension. But for external PSTN call forwarding, a user needs to send a request and be approved by their manager. And the forwarding restriction
is applied such that user is only allowed to forward to that particular PSTN number - to prevent toll fraud.
Moving forward to Lync, using voice policy's call forwarding and simultaneous ring PSTN usages, I can set it to allow forward and simultaneous ring to custom PSTN usage and a custom route that will only send calls to these pre-approved
external numbers.
Outcome
But in such a scenario,
sSince all the custom external allowed numbers will have to be put into a single Route match table, User A will be able to successfully
set up call forward to User B's number. (if they come to know about it somehow, that is)
rü
Route matching list will be very long due to the number of users per hubsite that has call forwarding enabled.
Questions
Is there any other way to achieve per user call forward restriction other than to create multiple voice policies ? MSPL may be ?
2. Is there a limit in the number of entries you can have on the Route pattern matching regex expression ?
Please advise. MANY THANKS.

1) I think multiple policies may be your best bet, though it's not a fun one to manage, I agree. MSPL could do it, but it would be more complex to maintain in the end. Even gateways have limitations on routes.
2) I'm not aware of a limit, though I'm not saying there's isn't one. But if you hit it, you could move to a second usage/route combo.
I'd suggest building out some PowerShell usage/route creation/organization script for this so it's not something that would need to be maintained within the GUI.

Open of auto-white list failed

I have spent the last few days getting cyrus & spam assassin to filter junk mail properly, with some success finally. I have followed the helpful Frontline Spam Defense tutorial from Topicdesk.com and also checked permissions on /var/amavis, plus just about every other trick I could find on these fora (mostly thanks to pterobyte).
Although I have now significantly reduced the spam getting through, I am now getting an error in the system log which seems to imply that it cannot create the white list file (presumably from the emails that I have put into the notjunkmail mailbox?):
Dec 30 10:21:47 eddie org.amavis.amavisd[49]: auto-whitelist: open of auto-whitelist file failed: locker: safe_lock: cannot create tmp lockfile /var/amavis/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock.eddie.waveneyrivercentre.co.uk.12 84 for /var/amavis/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock: Permission denied

plus a load more amavis-number files earlier in the list. There is no .spamassassin file.
the /var/amavis directory itself has permissions as follows (output from stat)

Well I hope that someone can help me.
Many thanks

does this tell us anything? the permissions for .spamassassin are ok I think? So would the changes I made have any effect on the server log message? I just checked the log and got another instance of it. Thinking about it, the learn script runs at 3:00 am or something so this log item is probably not connected to that script. So what else could be causing it?
Many thanks again
James
