****************************************************************************************** INSTALL first: do not try to extract this tar file on windows (you will get various errors!) instead copy it to the ipcop machine by doing the following: - enable ssh on your ipcop machine through the admin web pages (needed for file transfer) - enable squid on your ipcop machine through the admin web pages (needed for privoxy to work) - copy the package to the ipcop firewall, you will need a ssh client on windows in order to do this, putty served me quite well, so you might give it a try (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) after installing putty, you can use the following command to transfer your package to your ipcop machine into the /root directory: pscp -P 222 root@:/root example pscp -P 222 copfilter-0.0.92.tgz root@1.1.1.1:/root or you might use winscp http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/ a graphical SCP tool for windows to copy the file to the ipcop machine, the GUI is pretty nice and easy to use - login to the ipcop machine with an ssh client (like putty) - if you are updating, first uninstall the old version: everything which was copfilter related will be deleted without confirmation, backup any files you changed before uninstalling! /var/log/copfilter//default/uninstall.sh - extract the package on your ipcop machine: cd /root tar xzvf copfilter-0.0.92.tgz - install the package ./setup.sh (this actually executes install.sh) - configure the package open the IPCop web configuration interface with a browser and go to Services/Copfilter most important: enter your email address and your smtp host also configure the automatic virus signature update intervall enable the services you want to use and click on "save" - increase pop3 timeout on your email client this is extremly important, especially on a slow internet connection, otherwise your email client will get a timeout if you try to download a email with a huge attachment. this can be configured in the pop3 settings of your email account, if could send me a detailed explantion on how this can be done on mozilla,netscape,evolution,outlook i'd be glad to include it in this documentation read the FAQ for a more detailed explanation - if you are a home user, you could also install the fprot virus scanner (free for home use) so that your email will be scanned by 2 different virus scanners which increases security this package only includes clamav virusscanner you can install fprot with the included installation script: /root/copfilter/install_f-prot.sh this example tries to download the files automatically, you need a working internet connection for this to work or /root/copfilter/install_f-prot.sh fp-linux-ws-4.3.3.tar.gz does not need an internet connection file has to be downloaded manually home users please read http://www.f-prot.com/products/home_use/linux/ corporate users please read http://www.f-prot.com/products/corporate_users/unix/index.html after installing fprot, enable it in the webgui (an additional checkbox will appear) ****************************************************************************************** TESTING execute /root/copfilter/tests/make_all_tests.sh for all debug tests, this will send you + an email with a (harmless) exe attachment (to test renattach) + an email with a (harmless) virus attachment (to test virus scanner) + an email containing spam (to test spamassassin) + an email with the current clamav virus signatures + an email with the current fprot virus signatures (only if installed) - this will only work if you entered your email address and smtp server in the webgui like describe above - read the TESTING file for more details
