Scan certain domains

[Dan Cooper]

Hi Rishi

I actually have it working now - it was my fault, I was rushing to test to
product. Rather than set up a couple of domains to point to the box, I
simply created pc1.machine.com and pc1.test.machne.com as subdomains of
machine.com, pointing to the IP address of the box. Then I added
pc1.machine.com to domains.to.be.checked.conf only, restarted mailscanner
and sent messages to both domains. They were both checked for viruses.

Upon setting up 2 domains properly to point to the mailserver (VIA MX
RECORDS) , and adding one to the domains.to.be.checked.conf file, the
correct one got scanned and the other was just placed in the mailbox without
being scanned.

One point that may be useful to others, is the message placed in the syslog
when emails arnt scanned is:

Jun 27 18:26:00 storm mailscanner[6618]: Forwarding 1 clean messages, 10300
bytes

which can be misleading. This message may or may not be clean, it hasnt been
scanned.
