I have a test server setup, but now how to test with mail. I cannot use forward any legit mail to it. I was thinking of forwarding high scoring spam to it from my production environment.

But previously as I use postfix, I used the always_bcc option on the production boxes to bcc everything to an alias on a test server. This passed through mailscanner and the such then passed to an alias which sends the messages to /dev/null. I use the mailwatch logging so it was easy to see what mailscanner is doing as well as reading the traditional syslog output.

Here is my problem: I have x10 mailscanner front ends which scan mail and pass messages to real servers for delivery. I have written a control panel etc which does funky stuff with a mysql db to control various things and display stats etc. However, Im having a real beef when trying to figure out my quarantine stuff. I am going to setup a nas and make each server write the files to that. Whats the best way to store them, what does everyone else do? Do I quarantine the entire file? And then simply write a parser to pipe the message back into postfix on the nas for delivery? Any hints on how others have done it would be cool.

Earickson) Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2006 09:05:38 -0400 (EDT) Subject: tnef 1.4.2 Message-ID: Julian, Please roll tnef-1.4.2 into your next beta release, replacing version 1.4. See: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=598740 In my case (Solaris user), 1.4.2 solved the problem of a failed compile in the MS install script. It may fix some of the other TNEF complaints on the list. Note, however, that I'm still running internal tnef with MS at the moment. I need to actually try 1.4.2 (maybe with the first beta 4.56 release!).

Certainly making an alias on the test server which goes to /dev/null should stop it being delivered.
