A PPP-SSH VPN is probably the easiest type of VPN to set up. It uses nothing more than the very common PPP and SSH utilities to form an encrypted network tunnel between two hosts.

At around 3000 spam messages per month, reading email has gone beyond minor annoyance and into the realm of major pain. At first, I was pretty happy with Mozilla’s built in anti-spam filter, a Bayesian algorithm that to date, catches almost 90% of the spam I receive. However, as I am now getting around 100 spam emails per day, even the small percentage that creep past Mozilla’s filter are starting to outnumber legitimate email. (13-Apr-2004: I have recently been receiving upwards of 1000 spam messages per day and this solution is still holding strong.)

Today I decided to do something about the hundreds of spam messages I get weekly. Since this was really helpful to me, I decided to post this story instead of my normal ‘man’ column this coming Wednesday (I’m writing this on Sunday).

I’d like to think of myself as an intermediate-level Linux user. I’m trying to set up sendmail to be just a relay server, but can’t really find any information related to what I want to do…

The long and short of it is this: I’d like to set up sendmail as a backup mail server to my domain, which sits on a different ISP Connection, and I wish it to accept messages only for my domain name, and hold those messages until my primary mail server comes back online, then deliver the queued message(s) to the primary mail server.

If someone sends a message to, for instance, megabyte@mydomain.com, and the primary mail server for mydomain.com is down, then I want the mail to be sent to my linux machine running sendmail. The linux machine running sendmail would then just hang on to that e-mail, and periodically check to see if the primary mail server for mydomain.com is up. Once it finds that the primary mail server is up, it then delivers that message that it has queued to the primary mail server.

I don’t wish this linux machine to do anything but that. No routing of mail for anyone, no mail delivery (other than delivering queued messages to the primary mail server), and no acceptance of any mail for any domain other than mail for mydomain.com.

Setting up the DNS is not a problem. This machine will be a standalone machine sitting in a datacenter. DNS will be somewhere else (and properly set up). All this machine will do is serve web pages (as a backup to my primary connection) and queue mail (again, as a backup).

We all get a lot of crap these days in our email and it’s pretty much a necessity to have some form of filtering in place. So what’s the best way to protect your inbox? Well, here’s a quick and easy way to filter spam and viruses with free software and about an hour.

On my server, I’m running SuSE Linux 8.2 and using Postfix for mail delivery.
