Thanks - don't put in too much effort, its not the end of the world,
just a nice to have.

While I have your ear - on my production system, mailwatch 0.3,  I have
use_bayes 0 commented out (as default) in the spam.assassin.prefs.conf
file. ( I don't know anything about bayes to warrant turning it on).

Does this mean that the learn features/functions in the quarantine page
don't actually work? It cannot learn from here, without using bayes? But
I can still use this tool to release the mail to the user?

If the above is true, and I have a very low spec machine, do I need ot
turn on bayes, and to do this, all I need to do is uncomment that file?

If a response requires too much detail for here, could you point me
towards further reading?

Kind regards and thanks
Pete

Hi Pete,

This is a MailScanner or Postfix issue as MailWatch only uses
information
from MailScanner's $message object which is populated by MailScanner
parseing the Postfix message file.

You'll also find the same problem of duplicated 'To' entries in the
admin
notices as reported by someone else.

The postcat command didn't really give me much to go on at all (thought
it'd
be better than that) - so I'll have a Google around and see if I can
find
any info about the file spec for Postfix and see if I can find the
problem.

Regards,
Steve.

Funny, this happened ona %100 fresh install of mailscanner and fedora
and MW .4 - my previous post was regarding my existing MW .3 machines.

If you do find a fault I can repair myself, please le tme know as I
would like to fix the .3 install on the production servers - cos I wont
be moving to .4 just yet.

thanks
Pete

Hi Pete,

Can you stop the outbound queue runner temporarily to stop the messages
that
have been processed by MailScanner from being delievered, then run the
'postcat' command across one of the messages and post the output to the
list.

Kind regards,
Steve.

I have the latest version of mailwatch, mailscanner, postfix, mysql and
RH9 - in the TO: column, when looking at recent messages, all the names
are listed twice - this also makes the Top Recipients by Volume graph
unreadable as the legend has 2 entries for each person. Doesn't seem
like we are getting 2 deliveries though, and doesn't seem like anything
is written twice to the maillog.



Any ideas?



Pete
