Postfix + MySQL + Dovecot and FreeBSD June 4th, 2010
In this how-to I’ll guide you how to install postfix with mysql & dovecot and I’ll also introduce a new tool named (PostfixMailAdmin) for managing postfix mysql users.
We all knows Postfix is fast, easy to administer, and secure. The outside has a definite Sendmail-ish flavor, but the inside is completely different.
Installing Postfix

Note: If you want use dovecot as backend for SASL then also select DOVECOT from option menu.
I have already mentioned that i will introduce a new software for managing postfix virtual users. The software name is postfixmailadmin.
The main feature of this software is new web interface, easy to use, optimized search and vacation module.
You can download postfixmailadmin from this url: http://sourceforge.net/projects/postfixmiladmin/

FreeBSD-Postfix-MySQL-SpamAssassin-Maia-Virtual Setup June 4th, 2010
FreeBSD-Postfix-MySQL-SpamAssassin-Maia-Virtual Setup
First, I would like to thank DrkShdw, Worth, and Fr0zen from ##FreeBSD on FreeNode for their time and ideas when it came down to me writing this tutorial/guide. So, thanks a ton, fellas! Now, on with it!
I wrote this tutorial because of the many, MANY times I’ve been asked about how to set up Postfix on a FreeBSD system. There are many great tutorials out there that can guide people through a Postfix setup. However, none of them are related to FreeBSD. So, I’ve decided to give it a go and here it is.

Squid2MySQL for FreeBSD 5.2 to account for traffic through squid March 8th, 2010
Squid2MySQL for FreeBSD 5.2 (08.07.2004 r)
What Squid2MySQL? This authorization, and accounting traffic users
Internet. There is a proxy-server Squid (http://www.squid-cache.org/)
and the database MySQL, (http://dev.mysql.com/)
Squid caching of information involved, and MySQL stores information about
user (name, password, URL and downloaded, etc.).
Binder link – it Squid2MySQL (http://evc.fromru.com/squid2mysql/download.html) 1.0.0
by Eugene V. Chernyshev for Linux.
For those who use Linux as the OS for servers – it will be better
Visit poster’s Squid2MySQL and use information from
Copyright (http://evc.fromru.com/squid2mysql/download.html) site.
I just ported squid2mysql under FreeBSD, and corrected a few errors
them were reported to the author for correspondence e-mail.
This article describes the stages and features of the installation of the corrected
version squid2mysql under FreeBSD.
Let’s go …
1) must be installed MySQL, Squid and Perl. Check
efficiency of these programs: go to MySQL, make a simple
request to table mysql; check Perl command perl-v; do not forget
do for Squid base command squid-z. Check the DNS team
nslookup host, if there will be problems with DNS, you will not run Squid.
2) Download the archive squid2mysql (http://www.uvsw.narod.ru/project/squid2mysql_v.tar.gz)
under FreeBSD (~ 600 Kb) and unpack
# Tar-zxvf squid2mysql_v.tar.gz
3) Go to the newly created directory squid2mysql_v. Go to the subdirectory
for_perl and install the modules for the Perl DBI-1.42.tar.gz and
Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2219.tar.gz or download the newer.
# Tar-zxvf DBI-1.42.tar.gz
# Cd DBI-1.42
# Perl Makefile.PL
# Make
# Make test
# Make install
analogous set module Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2219.tar.gz Read the rest of this entry »

MySQL Change root password March 7th, 2010
If you have never set a root password for MySQL, the server does not require a password at all for connecting as root. To setup root password for first time, use mysqladmin command at shell prompt as follows:
However, if you want to change (or update) a root password, then you need to use following command
For example, If old password is abc, and set new password to 123456, enter:
1 |
mysqladmin -u root -p'abc' password '123456' |
