Starting from scratch

[Billy Pumphrey]

I didn't know if I should continue this topic or start a new one.

I have gotten thus far with installing MailScanner, but I cannot figure out
what I have done wrong or haven't done yet.

1.  Downloaded CentOS4 and installed with most server packages, development
packages, sendmail, spamassassin.

2.  Installed this mailscanner: Version 4.40.11-1 for RedHat and Mandrake
Linux (and other RPM-based Linux distributions)

3.  Ran these commands:
        Chkconfig --level all sendmail off
        Chkconfig --leve 345 MailScanner on
        Service sendmail stop
        Service MailScanner start

4.  I changed the following files (my mailscanner is a gateway to a
Microsoft Exchange machine:
        Mailertable
                Woodmaclaw.com          esmtp:[10.1.1.2]
                www.woowmaclaw.com      esmtp:[10.1.1.2]
                        ran the command make -C /etc/mail

        relaydomains
                woodmaclaw.com
                www.woodmaclaw.com

        mailscanner.conf
                various options, but mostly default.
                No virus scanners, as I have not installed them yet
                Turned on spamassassin

5.  restarted MailScanner several times.

6.  Info...
        I do not see any errors, here are some entries of my maillog:

7. I do not even though if this says anything, but I checked the
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming directory and there seem to be mail in
there.  There were these folders:
22777
22781
22783
22785
22786
I checked the directories and they were empty.  My first guess is that
MailScanner is not picking them up?


Help is appreciated on trouble shooting this.  Thank you! :)
