Mailscanner not scanning all emails

    [ The following text is in the "windows-1250" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

I purposely removed the org name in the headers until I decide what to put
there.
I finally sorted the scanning of spam and what it was displaying in the
headers, there were some config options on what it would display if the
email was marked as spam. The option was set to just display a "s" for the
spam score, one "s" for each score, so a score of 2 would show "ss".

I've also setup the virus scanner, Clamav and that's working fine now also,
email incoming is now virus and spam scanned.
Although I tried to use the Clamav perl module and use that by changing the
config line to:

##
Virus Scanners = clamavmodule
###

But the maillog shows:

########
Sep 28 07:22:34 scan MailScanner[20444]: Enabling SpamAssassin
auto-whitelist functionality...
Sep 28 07:22:36 scan MailScanner[20444]: ClamAV Perl module not found, did
you install it?
############

Maybe it's something to do with the line in virus.scanners.conf:

##
clamav          /usr/lib/MailScanner/clamav-wrapper     /usr/local
clamavmodule    /bin/false                              /tmp
##

Compared to the clamav line I'm not sure it looks right.
Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks
Tony

Depends on your MailScanner.conf, but as someelse said it's interesting the
org-name isn't appearing in the headers... what version of MailScanner are
you running?

Hi all

 

I've installed MailScanner to virus and spam scan emails.

This seems to be working fine for email that is delivered locally on the
server MailScanner is running.

However the server is also an MX for domains for which email is forwarded
onto different final destination servers, these emails aren't being scanned.

The emails have the following in their headers:

 

#########

X-MailScanner-Information: Please contact the ISP for more information

X-MailScanner: Not scanned: please contact your Internet E-Mail Service
Provider for details

X-MailScanner-SpamScore: sss

#########

 

How can I get MailScanner to scan all port 25 traffic even if the final
destination isn't local?

 

TIA

Tony
