Old Demo VMs

v 0.9.18

An Oracle VirtualBox VM has just been released on 26th January 2015, for demonstration purpose. I really insist: FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSE ONLY!

This demonstration VM will not be able to absorb a production load of several emails/second. It should be able to absorb a load below 10 emails/minute. It cannot be used for very long time as well, because the disk partitions would not have any remaining space extremely rapidly.

And of course, be aware that this VM is provided without any warranty of any kind.

You can click on the link below to download it:

VM file: ELSEv0.9.18_vm-1.0.0.tar.gz
MD5SUM: 2641d0ec6152ac843e20879e90299629
Compressed Size: 1234 Mb
Uncompressed Size: 3.3 Gb
Date released: 26th January 2015
ELSE VM version 1.0.0

VM characteristics

• CentOS version 7, up to date (26th January 2015)
• x86_64 architecture
• 1 network card in bridged mode configured with DHCP
• 1 processor
• 2 Gb RAM
• 100 Gb Hard Disk
• preconfigured ELSE environment (Postfix, ELSE, GreyLSE, Postgresql DB, Rsyslog are all configured and running)
• configured to act as a Postfix OUTGOING server
• Ports 514/tcp, 25/tcp, 2525/tcp, 443/tcp are opened

Details and Warnings

- VERY IMPORTANT: to get this ELSE VM working properly, you MUST start the greylse service immediately after the VM has started. It's configured to start at system boot, but it's not working due to the fact the GreyLSE needs the database started before itself, but the database is controlled by systemd, and the GreyLSE is still a startup legacy service at this time: there is no dependency relation established between both. So, be sure to log in to the VM and issue the "service greylse start" command.
- Postfix is configured as an open relay
- the network card is configured for DHCP, in bridge mode. That means you must have a DHCP server running somewhere in your home network in order for the VM to get an IP address. That should not be an issue as any ADSL box has a built-in DHCP server.
- the ELSE Web User Interface (WUI) will be available on https://VM_IP_ADDRESS/ELSE/
- you can login in the VM shell using root as login and password as password
- you can login in the ELSE WUI using root as login and mailmanager as password
- you can send emails via SMTP on port 25/tcp
- if you have other Postfix servers in your network you want to test with the ELSE, you will have to correctly configure Rsyslog on them to send their logs via RELP to the Rsyslog server running in the VM, on port 514/tcp. Also, correctly configure the Rsyslog timestamp format like it is in the Rsyslog configuration file of the VM.
- if you want your Postfix servers in your network to use the GreyLSE Postfix Policy Server of the VM, you'll have to configure them to send all their Postfix Policy Delegation requests to port 2525/tcp. Don't configure your Postfix servers to use the GreyLSE instance of the VM, if you don't have configured them to send all their logs also to the VM. Then use the ELSE WUI to configure your GreyLSE clients (your Postfix servers in fact).
- In any case, please read the various documentations available in the Wiki!!!

v 0.9.17

An Oracle VirtualBox VM has just been released on 10th July 2014, for demonstration purpose. I really insist: FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSE ONLY!

This demonstration VM will not be able to absorb a production load of several emails/second. It should be able to absorb a load below 10 emails/minute. It cannot be used for very long time as well, because the disk partitions would not have any remaining space extremely rapidly.

And of course, be aware that this VM is provided without any warranty of any kind.

VM file: ELSEv0.9.17_vm-1.0.0.tar.gz
MD5SUM: 0a45764cb540c6a6df942423a7fc60e8
Compressed Size: 1004 Mb
Uncompressed Size: 2.8 Gb
Date released: 10th July 2014
ELSE VM version 1.0.0

VM characteristics

• CentOS version 7
• x86_64 architecture
• 1 network card in bridged mode configured with DHCP
• 1 processor
• 2 Gb RAM
• 100 Gb Hard Disk
• preconfigured ELSE environment (Postfix, ELSE, GreyLSE, Postgresql DB, Rsyslog are all configured and running)
• configured to act as a Postfix OUTGOING server
• Ports 514/tcp, 25/tcp, 2525/tcp, 443/tcp are opened

Details and Warnings

• Postfix is configured as an open relay
• the network card is configured for DHCP, in bridge mode. That means you must have a DHCP server running somewhere in your home network in order for the VM to get an IP address. That should not be an issue as any ADSL box has a built-in DHCP server.
• the ELSE Web User Interface (WUI) will be available on https://VM_IP_ADDRESS/ELSE/
• you can login in the VM shell using root as login and password as password
• you can login in the ELSE WUI using root as login and mailmanager as password
• don't create other users in the ELSE: it will not work (unless, maybe, if you give them all the same password as defined for the root user). They will not be able to authenticate because ELSE SQL schema have to be updated to allow Apache 2.4 authentication using mod_authn_dbd. So only the default configured user/password couple can work in this VM and nothing else. This will be done for version 0.9.18 of the ELSE.
• you can send emails via SMTP on port 25/tcp
• if you have other Postfix servers in your network you want to test with the ELSE, you will have to correctly configure Rsyslog on them to send their logs via RELP to the Rsyslog server running in the VM, on port 514/tcp. Also, correctly configure the Rsyslog timestamp format like it is in the Rsyslog configuration file of the VM.
• if you want your Postfix servers in your network to use the GreyLSE Postfix Policy Server of the VM, you'll have to configure them to send all their Postfix Policy Delegation requests to port 2525/tcp. Don't configure your Postfix servers to use the GreyLSE instance of the VM, if you don't have configured them to send all their logs also to the VM. Then use the ELSE WUI to configure your GreyLSE clients (your Postfix servers in fact).
• as of now, this VM is not configured to allow you to use the ELSE Messaging Center (ELSEMC) component because of the Apache Authentification incompatiblity, despite the ELSEMC component is of course also installed in this VM. Well in theory, you can still create a new user in the ELSE WUI and give him access to the Messaging Center only: you can choose any login name, but the password MUST BE mailmanager. Only in those conditions, you should be able to see the ELSE Messaging Center WUI and it should work (but I haven't tested myself yet).
• In any case, please read the various documentations available in the Wiki!!!
