Windows Live Mail to store Sent Items on the IMAP Server

Windows Live Mail to store Sent Items on the IMAP Server

The following solution works on our mail servers,

Setting up Windows Live Mail for IMAP

1. In Windows Mail Click on the Tools menu
2. Then click on Accounts
3. Select your IMAP account from the list of accounts
4. Click Properties
5. Then click the IMAP tab, you will get a window like the picture to the right.
6. Type Inbox in the Root Folder Path box.
7. Make sure that Store special folders on IMAP server is selected
8. You should also change the 4 path names to match those actually used by your server, so Sent Items should be changed to Sent, Deleted Items to Trash…
   If you don’t do this everything will still work ok but you will end up with some sent items (from Windows Mail) in the Sent Items folder and others (from other email clients or from Webmail) in the Sent folder.
9. Save your changes, Windows Live Mail will need to rebuild your folder list but from now on any emails you send should be stored on the IMAP server rather than in Local Folders.  It is a good idea to move the contents of your Local Sent Items folder to the new IMAP Sent folder

Recover individual Files and Folders in windows server 2008 & 2012

Recover individual Files and Folders in windows server 2008 & 2012

You can use the Recovery Wizard in Windows Server Backup to recover files and folders from a backup. Before you begin, you should:

• Make sure at least one backup exists on an external disk or in a remote shared folder—you cannot recover files and folders from backups saved to DVDs or removable media. In addition, if you are recovering a computer running Windows Server 2008, make sure that the backup is not a system state backup. File and folder recovery is not possible from a system state backup. For instructions for creating a backup for file and folder recovery, see Configuring Automatic Backups and Performing a Manual Backup.
• Make sure the external disk or remote shared folder that is hosting the backup is online and available to the server.
• Determine what files or folders that you want to recover.

To recover files and folders using the Windows Server Backup user interface

1. From the Start menu, click Administrative Tools , and then click Windows Server Backup .
2. In the Actions pane of the snap-in default page, under Windows Server Backup , click Recover . This opens the Recovery Wizard.
3. On the Getting Started page, do one of the following and then click Next :
   • Click This server .
   • Click Another server . On the Specify Location Type page, do one of the following and then click Next :
     
     
     • Click Local drives . On the Select Backup Location page, select the volume or drive that contains the backup from the drop-down list. On Select Server , select the server whose data you want to recover.
     • Click Remote shared folder . On the Specify Remote Folder page, type the path to the folder that contains the backup. In the folder, the backup should be stored at \\< RemoteSharedFolder >\WindowsImageBackup \< ComputerName >\< YourBackup >.
4. On the Select Backup Date page, select the date from the calendar and the time from the drop-down list of backup you want to restore from. Then click Next .
5. On the Select Recovery Type page, click Files and folders , and then click Next .
6. On the Select Items to Recover page, under Available items , expand the list until the folder you want is visible. Click a folder to display the contents in the adjacent pane, click each item that you want to restore, and then click Next .
   NOTE: The SHIFT and CTRL keys will enable you to select a group or specific set of items.
7. On the Specify Recovery Options page, under Recovery destination , do one of the following:
   • Click Original location .
   • Click Another location . Then, type the path to the location, or click Browse to select it.
8. Under When this wizard find items in the backup that are already in the recovery destination , click one of the following, and then click Next :
   1. Create copies so you have both versions 
   2. Overwrite the existing versions with the recovered versions
   3. Do not recover the items that already exist on the recovery destination
9. Under Security settings , select the Restore access control list (ACL) permissions to the file or folder being recovered check box, if needed, and then click Next .
10. On the Confirmation page, review the details, and then click Recover to restore the specified items.
11. On the Recovery progress page, you can view the status of the recovery operation and whether or not it was successfully completed.

Additional considerations

• To recover files and folders from a backup using Windows Server Backup, you must be a member of the Backup Operators or Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If a volume being restored has restricted permissions, the files and folders in the volume will not be displayed in the Restore wizard if the Administrators or Backup Operators groups do not have permissions and ownership of the files that you want to restore. However, you can perform a block level backup and restore using volume recovery without these permissions.
• You can also perform this task remotely for another server using the Connect To Another Computer option in the Windows Server Backup Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. Make sure that you are a member of the Administrators or Backup Operators group on the remote server. If you are a Backup Operator, ensure that the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) security settings on the remote computer are set to allow Backup Operators to connect to it.
  
  You can only use this feature if the local and remote servers are running the same version of Windows—either both running Windows Server 2008 or both running Windows Server 2008 R2. In addition, you cannot use this feature to manage a computer running any version of Windows client operating system.

Spam Assassin
Enable Spamassassin (to disable remove the file)
# touch /home/username/.spamassassinenable
# chown username. /home/username/.spamassassinenable

Adjust required_score (the score required to mark the email as spam, lower numbers will create more positives) Default value is 5.
# grep required_score /home/username/.spamassassin/user_prefs

Add domain blacklist (will mark email from this domain as spam)
# echo "blacklist_from domain.com" >> /home/username/.spamassassin/user_prefs
# tail /home/username/.spamassassin/user_prefs

Add domain whitelist (will mark all email from domain as non-spam)
# echo "whitelist_from *@domain.com" >> /home/username/.spamassassin/user_prefs
# tail /home/username/.spamassassin/user_prefs

enable Spam Auto Delete
# wget -qO /home/username/.cpanel/filter.yaml http://toolbox.hostgator.com/ccranford/filter.yaml
# chown username. /home/username/.cpanel/filter.yaml

Forwarders
All forwards are in /etc/valiases/domain.com
# cat /etc/valiases/ausisdhaka.net

Auto Responders
When an auto responder is created, cPanel will ad a virtual host entry that will call the autorespond application and then check the configuration that it will create in the /home/username/.autorespond directory for more information.

User Level Filtering
Best performed inside of the cPanel interface as it does have cache files that are created and the syntax requires to locations.
# /home/username/etc/domain_name/email_account/filter.yaml
# /home/username/etc/domain_name/email_account/filter

Account Level Filtering
Best done through the cPanel interface.
# cat /home/username/.cpanel/filter.yaml

Disk Space Usage
Run from the users home directory, proceed top down to find diskspace issues.
# find -maxdepth 1 -exec du -sk {} \;|sort -rn|head | while read size loc; do echo "scale=2; $size/1024" | bc|gawk '{ print $1"MB '"$loc"' " }';done|column -t

Install ASL-Lite in Linux servers

ASL Lite is a free unsupported lightweight rule updater and basic modsecurity setup project designed specifically as an atomicorp.com mod_security rule downloader for custom apache environments or non-apache/mixed web server implementations. It will on a standard system maintain modsecurity rules to the current version automatically, and upon installation will attempt to determine if modsecurity is installed on the system, and if so, what version if installed. If modsecurity is not installed, it will attempt to install it, and if the installed version is out of date it will attempt to upgrade it to the latest stable version.
For more info: http://www.atomicorp.com/wiki/index.php/ASL_Lite

1. wget -q -O – http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/asl-lite | sh

2. Compare the dates to make sure the security module is the latest.

date

ls -l /usr/local/apache/modules/mod_security2.so

3. Make all the required folders and put them in the right permission

mkdir -v /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec_rules/
cp -pv
/home/cpeasyapache/src/modsecurity-apache_2.5.13/rules/util/modsec-clamscan.pl
/usr/local/apache/conf/modsec_rules/modsec-clamscan.pl
chmod -v /var/asl
chmod -v 705 /var/asl/data
chown nobody.nobody /var/asl/data/msa
chown nobody.nobody /var/asl/data/audit
chown nobody.nobody /var/asl/data/suspicious
chmod o-rx -R /var/asl/data/

chmod ug+rwx -R /var/asl/data/

4. Verify if mod_security is being called correctly.

RVsitebuilder Installation in cPanel

How to install RVsitebuilder in cPanel?

 1. SSH to your cPanel server as root and run command 

/scripts/makecpphp

2. Download the installer using the command below: 

cd /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/ 
rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/rvsitebuilderinstaller/ 
rm -f rvsitebuilderinstaller.tar
wget http://download.rvglobalsoft.com/rvsitebuilderinstaller.tar
tar -xvf rvsitebuilderinstaller.tar
chmod 755 addon_rvsitebuilder.cgi 
rm -f rvsitebuilderinstaller.tar

3. Open root WHM, at the left menu under Plugins section, you will find RVSiteBuilder Installer menu.

4. Click RVSiteBuilder Installer to begin the installation process.

5. After complete the installation, you will be sent to RVSiteBuilder Manager automatically. Please configure RV SiteBuilder immediatly.

Done!! Your cPanel should show the RVSiteBuilder as a feature in all cPanel users. Special note for specific cPanel skin:

• RVSkin - It will automatically integrate RVSiteBuilder to RVSkin. You may need to edit the Package-Feature list if RVSite Builder doesn't show up, or you don't want some hosting packages access to it.

• X3, X Skin and some which support addon api - It will automatically display on cPanel. You are also able to manage the feature list in WHM Feature Manager.

• CPSkins - You have to manually integrate it by editting file /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/themename/index.html. Insert on the top of the page, and edit /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/themename/main.php. Place in the area you want to show the RVSiteBuilder Icon. Don't edit file RVS2CPSkinmenu.html. Your change will be lost when you update RVSiteBuilder. If you want to edit it, just copy its name and change the cpanel include path to the new one.

Hardening the linux server or cenos 5/6.2

How to harden the centos 5 or centos 6.2



SPRI (Priority Scheduler)
cd /root/
wget http://www.rfxn.com/downloads/spri-current.tar.gz
tar xvfz spri-*.tar.gz
cd spri-*
./install.sh
spri -v



PRM (Process Resource Monitor)
cd /root
wget http://www.rfxn.com/downloads/prm-current.tar.gz
tar xvfz prm-*.tar.gz
cd prm-*
./install.sh
prm -j




Temporary Directory Hardening
-----------------------------

/bin/cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak


Use df to check if a /tmp partition is already present.

[if no /tmp partition present]
cd /usr
dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/tmpMnt bs=1024 count=2000000


mke2fs -j /usr/tmpMnt


cd / 
cp -R /tmp /tmp_backup 


mount -o loop,noexec,nosuid,rw /usr/tmpMnt /tmp 
chmod 0777 /tmp 
/bin/cp -R /tmp_backup/* /tmp/ 
rm -rf /tmp_backup 


nano -w /etc/fstab 




At the very bottom add 
/usr/tmpMnt /tmp ext3 loop,noexec,nosuid,rw 0 0


nano -w /etc/fstab
change “defaults” to loop,noexec,nosuid,rw
mount /tmp


rm -rf /var/tmp
ln -s /tmp /var/tmp



If a symlink is not possible, then /var/tmp is most likely also a partition. In this case, /var/tmp must be hardened with loop,noexec,nosuid,rw in fstab as well.



IF /tmp is hardened by cpanel’s /scripts/securetmp. Remove the line from /etc/rc.d/rc.local and then reboot. It will come back without a /tmp partition and then you can follow the instructions above



SSH Server Hardening
---------------------

nano -w /etc/ssh/sshd_config



Uncomment #Protocol 2, 1
Change to Protocol 2


Append these lines to the bottom:
LoginGraceTime 120 


IgnoreRhosts yes 


X11Forwarding no 




/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart


DISABLE DIRECT ROOT LOGIN


If he already has an su user, good. If not:


REPLACE XXX with 3 numbers


groupadd anyuserxxx
useradd anyuserXXX –ganyuserXXX
passwd anyuserXXX
type password


nano -w /etc/group
Search for wheel, then append “anyuserxxx” 


So it should be “root,anyuserXXX”


nano -w /etc/ssh/sshd_config


PermitRootLogin no (and uncomment)


At the bottom add
AllowUsers anyuserXXX




ChkRootKit
--------------
cd /root/
wget ftp://ftp.pangeia.com.br/pub/seg/pac/chkrootkit.tar.gz
mv chkrootkit.tar.gz /usr/local/src/
cd /usr/local/src/
tar -zxf chkrootkit.tar.gz
cd /usr/local/src/chkrootkit*
make sense
cd /root
mv /usr/local/src/chkrootkit* /usr/local/chkrootkit

Installing CSF firewall
------

wget http://www.configserver.com/free/csf.tgz

tar -xzf csf.tgz

cd csf

sh install.sh



Next, test whether you have the required iptables modules:

./wp-blog-header.php error [function.require]:failed to open stream

You have installed Wordpress and are seeing the following error:

Warning: require(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in "\xyz\xyz.com\wwwroot\index.php" on line 17

Warning: require(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in "\xyz\xyz.com\wwwroot\index.php" on line 17

This is most likely because you have installed wordpress into the wwwroot instead of a sub-directory.  Wordpress be default assumes it will be installed in a sub-directory.

To solve this problem, modify the index.php file as follows only if your WordPress installation is running in your root directory. You only need to change the following line:

require('./wp-blog-header.php');

To this:

require('wp-blog-header.php');

If your WordPress installation is not running in the root directory, then you just need to insert the path to your header file.  

Install/upgrade curl in Litespeed webserver

How to install Curl in LiteSpeed webserver?

Kindly follow the steps below to know how to install curl in litespeed webserver.


1) Go to lsws directory

# cd /opt/lsws/phpbuild/php-5.2.6/

2) Check the compiled modules with litespeed and check the current status.

# cat config.nice

# cat config.status

#cat config.nice

3) Now you need to recompile the litespeed with the module

# ./configure --prefix=/opt/lsws/lsphp5 --with-litespeed --with-config-file-path=../php --with-mysql=../mysql --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=.. --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=.. --with-png-dir=.. --enable-shmop --enable-track-vars --enable-sockets --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-magic-quotes --with-curl=/opt/curlssl/

# make

# make test

# make install

Once the installation is complete, you can check the compiled modules using the following command

# /opt/lsws/lsphp5/bin/php -m

# /opt/lsws/lsphp5/bin/php -i |grep curl 

Thats it Litespeed is compiled with CURL module. :)

Solution1:- Disable the SPAM scanner and virus scanner for that user alone via cPanel.
1) Go to cPanel > Emails > Mailscanner configuration.
2) Select the the domain name under SPAM and VIRUS option set it the options to "NO" and save the settings.

This will allow that domain to send emails with all the extensions.

Solution2:-


This is serverwide changes. Where the editing will reflect to all the domain in the server.

1) Login to the server with the root access
2) locate the file name "filename.rules.con"

in cPanel server it will be available in /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.con

3) vi /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.con
4) in that file, find the place which has specified "allow"
5) add the following syntax to allow the extension

allow \.docx$ - -

allow \.xlsx$ - -

allow \.app - -

allow \.x(ml)?\d{0,}\.rel$ - - 

Save the file and restart your mail scanner. Thats it. Your mailscanner will allow the specified extensions to all the domain in the server.

Note: When you add the syntax " allow \.docx$ - - ", you should use "TAB key" to leave a space between them. DO NOT use "spacebar" to leave the space. Beware!!!!! ;-)

Mailscanner: allow .zip .tar .gz extension in email

How can I configure MailScanner to allow zip/archive files through even if they contain an exe file or other potentially dangerous filename or filetype?

You can configure MailScanner to not check archives (zip, tar.gz etc).

 1) Go to WHM > MailScanner > MailScanner Configuration

and search for 'Maximum Archive Depth'.

2) Change that to 0 to disable it.

That's it. The mailscanner will allow the .zip, .tar and etc. The attachments will still be scanned for viruses.

Authentication erorr IIS home page

When you try to access the website, you will be getting an error message stating as follows:

=====
Authorization Error
=====

Its a known issue if you are running Plesk with IIS.

You can resolve the issue by performing the following.

===========
 

Anonymous access to the site was enabled in IIS:>IIS -> Web site -> domain.com -> Directory Security -> Enable anonymous access

Remove the .Security file from C:\Inetpub\vhosts\domain.com and reconfigure vhost via the following command: C:\Program Files\Parallels\Plesk\admin\bin>websrvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=domain.com 

 
If the passwords for system user and IIS user seemed to be out of synchronization, change the password for IIS user on that domain and do the same in Computer Management -> Local Users and Settings -> Users -> IUSR_domain
Verify other domains are not having the same issue.

After performing the above, execute the following command from command prompt.

websrvmng --reconfigure-vhost --vhost-name=domainname.com

CSF error some missing iptables modules [4] ipt_REDIRECT...FAILED, ipt_owner, ipt_recent, iptables_nat

I have installed the CSF in the server. When I try to run the perl test in the CSF, it is giving the following error.

===============
# perl /etc/csf/csftest.pl
Testing ip_tables/iptable_filter...OK
Testing ipt_LOG...OK
Testing ipt_multiport/xt_multiport...OK
Testing ipt_REJECT...OK
Testing ipt_state/xt_state...OK
Testing ipt_limit/xt_limit...OK
Testing ipt_recent...FAILED [Error: iptables: Unknown error 4294967295] - Required for PORTFLOOD and PORTKNOCKING features
Testing xt_connlimit...FAILED [Error: iptables: Unknown error 4294967295] - Required for CONNLIMIT feature
Testing ipt_owner/xt_owner...FAILED [Error: iptables: Unknown error 4294967295] - Required for SMTP_BLOCK and UID/GID blocking features
Testing iptable_nat/ipt_REDIRECT...FAILED [Error: iptables: Unknown error 4294967295] - Required for MESSENGER feature
Testing iptable_nat/ipt_DNAT...OK

RESULT: csf will function on this server but some features will not work due to some missing iptables modules [4]
===============

Solution:

csf requires at least these iptables modules in the main node

ip_tables
ipt_state
ipt_multiport
iptable_filter
ipt_limit
ipt_LOG
ipt_REJECT
ipt_conntrack
ip_conntrack
ip_conntrack_ftp
iptable_mangle

Following modules are used for the other funcanality of csf

ipt_owner
ipt_recent
iptable_nat
ipt_REDIRECT

You can check if the above modules are installed in the server or not.

# lsmod |grep -i <module-name>

If it is not installed then you can install it via

modprob ipt_conntrack

You can test whether they have fixed the environment by running:

perl /etc/csf/csftest.pl

This will fix the issue.

In case of VPS like OpenVZ, Prallels Virtuozzo or etc, this might not been fixed some times. Just follow the steps below to fix the issue in the VPS container.

1. /sbin/iptables -F

2. Edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config

IPTABLES_MODULES="ipt_REJECT ipt_tos ipt_TOS ipt_LOG ip_conntrack ipt_limit ipt_multiport iptable_filter iptable_mangle ipt_TCPMSS ipt_tcpmss ipt_ttl ipt_length ipt_state iptable_nat ip_nat_ftp ip_conntrack_ftp ipt_conntrack ip_tables ip_conntrack_netbios_ns"


3.Edit /etc/sysconfig/vz

IPTABLES_MODULES="ipt_REJECT ipt_tos ipt_TOS ipt_LOG ip_conntrack ipt_limit ipt_multiport iptable_filter iptable_mangle ipt_TCPMSS ipt_tcpmss ipt_ttl ipt_length ipt_state iptable_nat ip_nat_ftp ip_conntrack_ftp ipt_conntrack ip_tables ip_conntrack_netbios_ns"


4. Execute the command in the console

service vz stop
