I cant work out how i can tell if postfix is blocking it or mailscanner? 
Does it bounce (postfix) or is it tagged as spam (mailscanner)?


I assume postix, because i have added this line to the whitelist already 
From:                10.1.                yes according to the existing format?

looks ok, but maybe you should only put your mail server's IP addy here (once tested with this setting), to prevent your users to bypass it. 

postfix/main.cf has this network entry 
mynetworks = 10.1.10.155/32, 203.55.54.0/8 
[Ugo Bellavance]
looks ok

have you restarted mailscanner after your changes?
do you have other whitelist items?  do they work?

Thanks avain Kevin. I am already using the postfix snapshot. 

Still looking for mailstats - but its not urgent. 

Could some one please tell me what i need to do to mailscanner to tell it to allow inbound email from my private IP address? I have modified our private DNS MX for our domain to point to the IP of the mailscanner (also on private subnet), then i use another linux machine to fire off email, but always gets rejected, because it comes from a private subnet - where do i tell mailscanner to allow email from this private ip?

Is it blocked by postfix or mailscanner?

If it is mailscanner, just go to /etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.whitelist.rules, and insert your ip address, following the format.

hth

Thanks
