Features

***** NEW!!! Torrent now available!!! ********** Discussion Forum is at http://www.global-domination.org/forum *****No marketing, no registration, no hassle - just download, unpack, configure and you are done!Unlike some of the appliances available for download, this DOES NOT require registration, nor requires a licence key etc. The only thing that requires registration is to post messages on the product forum (anonymous access is read-only).Mailgraph allows you to view postfix usage stats graphically.MailWatch provides the long awaited ability to manage quarantine, user/domain/global black/white lists etc.Self-Service release of quarantined spam by users via a quick and easy to use URL in the quarantined spam notification email sent to users. This will help reduce administrative overhead, but can easily be disabled if required.Razor, Pyzor, DCC are essential tools in the fight against spam, further enhancing accuracy.Multi-domain Support. This works "out of the box" - no problem for single domain support either.Less dependence on DNS for mail delivery for smaller sites and those looking to avoid mail-loops or tricky DNS configurations.Better documentation - and getting better all the time as more documents are added to the how-to library.Updated versions of key software including Sendmail and MailScanner.ESVA was born out of a need for organisations to have a cost-effective email virus & spam scanning solution. There are other commercial products out there, but these are often too expensive for small organisations to justify, or the existing free products are beyond the abilities of these organisations.ESVA is simply a pre-built and semi-configured email scanning (security) Virtual Appliance (ESVA) that will run on VMware Workstation, Server, Player or ESX Server.The idea is for the appliance to be pretty much set & forget with an easy to use interface so that users don't really need to know how to use the underlying GNU/Linux.ESVA is based on Redhat Fedora Core4, which has been updated to the latest stable versions of all packages, had VMware tools installed & configured (including VMXnet drivers), extraneous packages removed.The software installed has been partially configured to simplify the configuration that the end-user must do, as well as cleaning up the webmin interface, removing modules that are not required.To reduce the size of the zipped archive further, all freespace was zeroed out immediately prior to archiving using a technique that I published in the forums (http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=35116&tstart=0)The latest version of the installation guide is available -- here --ESVA can be downloaded from -- here --Requirements:The downloaded zip file containing ESVA is approx 377 mb, which expands to 4.0 GB.ESVA requires 512MB RAM to run as configured, and will need access to a bridged network interface.Usage:It is intended that ESVA will be run on top of an existing server (e.g. MS Small Business Server) behind a hardware firewall. ESVA logically sits between the firewall and the Mail Server.Contact:This Virtual Appliance was created by Andrew MacLachlan (andy.mac@global-domination.org)If you have any queries please read the forum thread and ask questions there in the first instance.
