Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy Server Files

Hi all,

in this folder you can download 

a VMWare vmx-09 OVA based on ubuntu 20.04 LTS - created at Mar-25-2021 .
and/or
a VMWare vmx-08 OVA based on freeBSD 12.2 - created at Mar-25-2021 .

Notice: it may possible that files, that are too large to be mirrored by sourceforge, are splitted in to multiple junks.
        Download all parts of a file and join them together in numerical order using your OS tools (cat, copy ...).
        for example:
        cat ASSPv2_Ubuntu_17.10_x64.ovf.7z* > ASSPv2_Ubuntu_17.10_x64.ovf.7z
        copy /b ASSPv2_Ubuntu_17.10_x64.ovf.7z.001 + ASSPv2_Ubuntu_17.10_x64.ovf.7z.002 ASSPv2_Ubuntu_17.10_x64.ovf.7z


Each of the VM's requires ~50GB diskspace on your vmfs volume.

If you want to use the OVA's on other virtualization platforms than VMWare, this will be possible
for most of the available hypervisors - read the documentation!
In this case - it is recommended to uninstall the 'open-vm-tools-nox11' package and to install the helpers
for your hypervisor.

Downloading, installing and starting any this OVA's, you agree to all license terms of all installed components!

The VM's are ready to run and contain a full linux / BSD based assp version 2 installation including all scripts,
required binaries, libraries, source files and header files.

Notice: the VM's may require more memory and CPU cores to run in production mode!

STOP HERE IF:
- you are not an IT professional
- you don't know linux + ubuntu / unix + freeBSD
- you are not familar with the SMTP protocol and its extensions (not only the basics !)
- you have read the assp documentation (manual-assp-2-6-X.pdf) and you still have no clue what is going on here

What is in the VM's?

[ubuntu]
- ubuntu 20.04 LTS x64
- DHCP is enabled at the interface ens160 (see /etc/networking)
- perl 5.30.2 incl. all required perl modules
- ASSP 2.6.6 build 21074
- iptables firewall (see /etc/firewall.conf)
- openssl 1.1.1j


[freeBSD]
- freeBSD 12.2 amd64

- perl 5.32.1 incl. all required perl modules
- ASSP ASSP 2.6.6 build 21074
- openssl 1.1.1j


[both]
- ASSP is installed in '/opt/assp' incl. all available plugins
- ASSP is configured to run as user 'assp' - groups are assp, root, sudo - the user 'assp' is in sudoers / wheel
- ASSP 2.6.6 build 21xxx (please upgrade to the latest version after downloading and starting the OVA)
- bind9
- tesseract
- ImageMagick
- pdftk
- poppler
- dccifd
- Razor2
- net-snmp with agentX
- mysql server and client
- assp is configured to use the mysql database 'assp'
- ClamAV with SaneSecurity signature extension
- libarchive
- Rar
- 7z/p7zip

It is recommended to upgrade ubuntu./ freeBSD, the perl modules, assp.pl, the Plugins, the assp/lib folder, the assp/images
folder and the assp/files folder. The OVA can be somehow old! cpan-outdated and cpanm are installed on both VM's.
(root@assp~: cpan-outdated -p | cpanm -n)
The user/group 'assp/assp' must be the owner of all files and folders in '/opt/assp' 

On freeBSD the /etc/rc.d/assp script is BSD conform. enable_assp="YES" is set in /etc/rc.conf

Login information for both VM's:

OS:
root assp
assp assp

mysql:
root assp
assp assp
notice: the mysql password expiration should be checked and possibly changed

assp-webinterface (http://assp-ova-ip:55555):
root nospam4me

What is to do after the download.
- uncompress the file
- import the OVA in to your virtual environment
- adjust the VM network interface
- adjust the configured resources if you want
- start the VM and wait two minutes - stop assp ([ubuntu]: sudo service assp stop) - or [freeBSD]: service assp stop
- configure the linux / unix networking to use a static IP-address
- on ubuntu configure the iptables firewall (see /etc/firewall.conf) - the firewall at freeBSD is not configured
- you should choose any of three available firewalls on freeBSD
- configure linux / unix components to your needs
- install and configure additionally components if you need some
- start assp ([ubuntu]: sudo service assp start - or [freeBSD]: service assp start)
- if not already done (????) - design a concept for the in/out mail-flow using a SMTP proxy - the WIKI on souceforge may help
- write down all local IP-addresses/hostnames and ports are used (listenPort,listenPort2,relayPort ....)
- write down the target IP-addresse/hostnames and ports for incoming and outgoing mails
- login to the assp-webinterface and configure the networking section
- configure the local domains and recipients section - possibly configure LDAP
- if not already done (????) - read the complete documentation,to get an overview about ASSP

ps: Please honor the effort to create such OVA's and don't forget to donate to the assp project if you use the OVA (and assp).
