{i} For all Ubuntu releases, make sure that the Universe repository is in your sources.list.

Add Dapper backports in sources.list.

apolicy depends on the following Python modules: twisted >= 2.4: ipy >= 0.50: pydns >= 2.3: pyspf >= 2.0: ldap: Your distribution might have most of them already packaged.

The following commands should do just fine, you must be root: <!> If you are updating a previous installation, don't run python setup.py install, instead run this one: The command above will preserve your configuration files. Take a look at /etc/apolicy/main.conf for additional settings, and /etc/apolicy/policy.conf for the ACLs, actions and access configuration.

To start the daemon Note that the supplied default cofiguration comes with a complex example that makes apolicy fail to start. This is because the example need datasource configuration. Adapt the configuraton with trivial stuff and make apolicy starts. apolicy will listen by default on 127.0.0.1:10001. By now the proccess must be running, check with ps and netstat. In case of any problem, check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/maillog.

Just add check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10001 to smtpd_client_restrictions, smtpd_recipient_restrictions etc, and you are good to go. For the size acl works properly, apolicy must to be called from smtpd_end_of_data_restrictions. Restart Postfix.

There is two log sources to get information, first is the log sent to syslog, using the mail facility. The other is the file /var/log/twistd.log. This file contains critical errors from the twisted daemon, keep an eye on this file too.

You can turn debug on editing the configuration file /etc/apolicy/main.conf. Go to the bottom of the file and change this: To this: Then restart apolicy.
