IP address and MAC filter on Squid

Sometime having a white listed IP group in squid is problematic due to DHCP. It works perfectly on static IP address when assigned to an individual. But if you use MAC address you need not worry about IP address.

Squid configuration for IP based filter.


acl AllowIP src 192.168.50
acl AllowIP src 192.168.2

http_access allow AllowIP

Squid configuration for MAC based filter.


Create a file in squid location. Here I have create mac.txt file under squid location i.e (/etc/squid/).

acl MAC arp "/etc/squid/mac.txt"

http_access allow MAC


My mac.txt file would contain something like this.
00:32:1e:7d:2a:00
00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

*MAC address under windows will be shown as xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx where as in Linux xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Make sure that your http_access allow line is before http_access deny all, else your rule will not work.

Zimbra Mail Error: not enough free space in mail queue

If you are using Zimbra Mail and you are not able to send any mails and also you see an Error Message " not enough free space in mail queue " under /var/log/message. Then you should try out this solution. 1. Login to the server, and then again login as zimbra as follows: #su - zimbra 2. Check the Postfix message_size_limit, by default it should be 10MB (i.e. '10240000' bytes) as follows: $postconf message_size_limit message_size_limit = 10240000 3. If the value is higher than that, set it as follows to 10MB $ zmprov modifyConfig zimbraMtaMaxMessageSize 10240000 $ postfix reload Now try sending Mail, It should work. You could try out this solution for Error: " SMTP Server Reported: 452 4.3.1 Insufficient System Storage "
