Chebyshev enables easy creation of spam filtering and email forwarding services.
One of the critical aspects of Chebyshev is its installation process. To run this software, users need to have a stock Intel-based Red Hat Linux 5.1 machine configured with an installed and set-up Apache-ssl. Besides, it requires users to configure their mail transfer agent to utilize the Realtime Blackhole list, or else they would only get forwarding without filtering. Instructions can be found on the web for installing Apache-ssl.
When installing Chebyshev, it is essential to note the various legalities surrounding the use of cryptographic software in one's location. Therefore, users are advised to consult their local government before using the software fully. Several agents are supported, including Sendmail and Exim, with Paul Vixie heading the Realtime Blackhole list.
It is pertinent to be aware of the potential implications of joining the Realtime Blackhole List, as it may block legitimate mail on occasion. Once these preliminaries are in place, installing Chebyshev is relatively straightforward. By taking a look at the makefile before installing and as root, typing "make install," users should be able to install and operate Chebyshev without difficulty.
