CBpolicyd

How to configure quotas/groups for cbpolicyd (sqlite).

PolicyD v2 (codenamed "cluebringer") is a multi-platform policy server for popular MTAs. The main goal is to implement as many spam combating and email compliance features as possible. The configuration of cbpolicyd under Zimbra is done by editing the sqlite database as shown in the examples below.

Sqlite contains couple of tables, which are used for the configuration of cbpolicyd:

sqlite> .tables
access_control             greylisting_tracking
accounting                 greylisting_whitelist
accounting_tracking        policies
checkhelo                  policy_group_members
checkhelo_blacklist        policy_groups
checkhelo_tracking         policy_members
checkhelo_whitelist        quotas
checkspf                   quotas_limits
greylisting                quotas_tracking
greylisting_autoblacklist  session_tracking
greylisting_autowhitelist

To configure the quotas, we will predominantly work with the policies, policy_members, policy_groups, policy_group_members, quotas and quotas_limits tables. First, we need to navigate to and enter the sqlite database:

$ cd /opt/zimbra/data/cbpolicyd/db/

$ sqlite3 cbpolicyd.sqlitedb SQLite version 3.6.20 Enter ".help" for instructions Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";" sqlite>

The next step is to list the tables which are used for the configuration:

The first step is to create our own policy:

sqlite> insert into policies(Name,Priority,Disabled) VALUES ('test_policy',0,0);

The above command will create a policy named test_policy, it will be enabled and will have priority 0, which means it will be picked up first from the list of the policies. The priorities goes as 1, then 2 and so on. Here is our newly created policy:

sqlite> select * from policies; 1|test_policy|0||0

The next thing to do is to edit the policy_members table, to specify what members will be included in the policy.
