Clarification on stopping outbound spam scanning

[Jason Williams]

Hello everyone.

Just want to check on to see if my setup is working correctly. I have setup
MailScanner to not scan outbound mail for spam from a internal mail server.

Following these threads:

http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0403&L=mailscanner&P=R203572&I=-1

I did the following:

changed Spam Checks to...

Spam Checks = /usr/local/etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.rules

Created the spam.rules file and added the following:


From:   192.168.1.165   no
FromOrTo:       default yes

After restarting MS, I sent a piece of mail through to see if it would be
scanned and saw the following:

May  1 14:08:01 mail sm-mta-in[238]: i41L817V000238:
from=<jwilliams at courtesymortgage.com>, size=700, class=0, nrcpts=1,

pri=120700, relay=mx2.mail.yahoo.com. [64.156.215.18], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent
(ok dirdel)

Right in the middle, it stays Spam Checks: Starting

So it appears I missed something and haven't been able to figure it out.

I appreciate any help that you can lend me.

Cheers,

Jason
