Thanks all for your input on this. I got MailScanner up and running
successfully. The only other question I have is this:
Our main ISP (our SMTP Gateway) already filters mail for viruses (using
Sophos) and spam using MailMarshal. All I really wanted to do with
MailScanner is to be able to add the signature at the end of all
outgoing messages. Mainly a confidentiality notice. When I go through
the MailScanner conf file, I turn off all the filtering and scanning,
and I turn on sign clean messages... The messages don't get signed.
So, I turn on the first rule that says scan messages, and then I turn
off Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam scanning, and it still doesn't add the
signature at the end. Is there any way to do this without using AV and
AntiSpam filtering??
Thanks!
