Steps to recreate spam ham n quarantine accounts
Steps to recreate spam, ham and quarantine accounts
Problem
Accidentally deleted spam,ham and quarantine accounts from the server and backup is not available.
Solution
Steps to re-create spam,ham and quarantine accounts :
1). First we have to find out previous accounts' name from global config.
su - zimbra zmprov -l gacf zimbraAmavisQuarantineAccount zimbraSpamIsSpamAccount zimbraSpamIsNotSpamAccount
2). Above command will give us previously configured accounts' name which we can use to re-create accounts.
Spam Account:
zmprov ca <SPAM-ACCOUNT@YOURDOMAIN.COM> <PASSWORD> amavisBypassSpamChecks TRUE zimbraAttachmentsIndexingEnabled FALSE zimbraIsSystemAccount TRUE zimbraIsSystemResource TRUE zimbraHideInGal TRUE description 'System account for spam training.'
Ham Account:
zmprov ca <HAM-ACCOUNT@YOURDOMAIN.COM> <PASSWORD> amavisBypassSpamChecks TRUE zimbraAttachmentsIndexingEnabled FALSE zimbraIsSystemAccount TRUE zimbraIsSystemResource TRUE zimbraHideInGal TRUE description 'System account for Non-Spam (Ham) training.'
Quarantine Account:
zmprov ca <VIRUS-QUARANTINE-ACCOUNT@YOURDOMAIN.COM> <PASSWORD> amavisBypassSpamChecks TRUE zimbraAttachmentsIndexingEnabled FALSE zimbraIsSystemAccount TRUE zimbraIsSystemResource TRUE zimbraHideInGal TRUE zimbraMailMessageLifetime 30d description 'System account for Anti-virus quarantine.'
If you don't want to re-create accounts with old name then we can create new accounts in that format which is used by the installation script, like spam.<random number> and ham.<random number>.
Following command will create spam,ham and quarantine account with random password and will add random string in account name.
zmprov ca spam.`strings /dev/urandom | tr -dc _A-Z-a-z-0-9 | head -c10`@YOURDOMAIN.COM "`strings /dev/urandom | tr -dc _A-Z-a-z-0-9 | head -c10`" amavisBypassSpamChecks TRUE zimbraAttachmentsIndexingEnabled FALSE zimbraIsSystemAccount TRUE zimbraIsSystemResource TRUE zimbraHideInGal TRUE description 'System account for spam training.'
zmprov ca ham.`strings /dev/urandom | tr -dc _A-Z-a-z-0-9 | head -c10`@YOURDOMAIN.COM "`strings /dev/urandom | tr -dc _A-Z-a-z-0-9 | head -c10`" amavisBypassSpamChecks TRUE zimbraAttachmentsIndexingEnabled FALSE zimbraIsSystemAccount TRUE zimbraIsSystemResource TRUE zimbraHideInGal TRUE description 'System account for Non-Spam (Ham) training.'
zmprov ca virus-quarantine.`strings /dev/urandom | tr -dc _A-Z-a-z-0-9 | head -c10`@YOURDOMAIN.COM "`strings /dev/urandom | tr -dc _A-Z-a-z-0-9 | head -c10`" amavisBypassSpamChecks TRUE zimbraAttachmentsIndexingEnabled FALSE zimbraIsSystemAccount: TRUE zimbraIsSystemResource TRUE zimbraHideInGal TRUE zimbraMailMessageLifetime 30d description 'System account for Anti-virus quarantine.'
3). Now we have to set newly created accounts' name in global config, before this we have to check exact name of newly created accounts.
zmprov -l gaa | egrep -i 'spam|ham|virus-quarantine'
zmprov mcf zimbraSpamIsSpamAccount <SPAM-ACCOUNT@YOURDOMAIN.COM> zimbraSpamIsNotSpamAccount <HAM-ACCOUNT@YOURDOMAIN.COM> zimbraAmavisQuarantineAccount <VIRUS-QUARANTINE-ACCOUNT@YOURDOMAIN.COM> zmprov fc config OR zmcontrol restart
Note: Replace YOURDOMAIN.COM with the actual primary domain name according to your environment.
