Hi,
I've been running mailscanner for the past month.
Everything works great, I'm using mail scanner with spam assassin, clamAV and Panda AV.
Virus scanning and filtering works great.
 
The software was installed from RPMs (from the original MailScanner web site) on a RedHat 9.0 machine.
 
I have two problems.
 
One - filetype filtering doesn't seem to work (it is enabled in MailScanner.conf, and the filetypes.rules.conf is in place) only filename filtering works, but it's not preferable. 

<UB> 
 Are you sure you did remove the # before the file command?  it is disabled by default.
</UB>

Two - I want to train sapmassassin, cause I'm having many false-positives, as well as real spam getting through. But I can't find almost any files as directed by the FAQ. First of all, there's not MailScanner dir under /opt. I can't find sa-learn anywhere on my system. Changes I make in MailScanner.conf regarding spam assassin do work, but nothing else does. 
I do see detailed reports of Spam Assassin scores in the mail headers, so it is working. 

<UB>
sa-learn is included with spamassassin  it is enabled by default.  note that it must see a certain amount of ham and spam before kicking in.
you can also help it learn.  see http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/serve/cache/98.html

Do you also have DCC, Pyzor, and Razor installed?  I suggest you take a look of my MailScanne's MAQ (most asked questions).  www.routier.org/ms.htm

As far as I could tell, the installation went without a hitch.
 
So, what am I doing wrong???
 
Thanks in advance,
Tom
