Hello,

I am sooo close to getting this running, but somehow my test mail is not getting through.  On a Suse 9.3 server I have MailScanner, Spamassassin, Postfix, & ClamAV set up to scan mail and then pass it on to an internal Exchange server. I can see the test message going through the system in /var/log/mail.info, but it never makes it to the Exchange server.

I think I have the relaying of domains set up correctly, but now i am not sure.

Maybe the problem is here <below> "how to invoke the MTA";

<snip>
# Set whether to use postfix, sendmail, exim or zmailer.
# If you are using postfix, then see the "SpamAssassin User State Dir"
# setting near the end of this file
#MTA = sendmail
MTA = postfix

# Set how to invoke MTA when sending messages MailScanner has created
# (e.g. to sender/recipient saying "found a virus in your message")
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset. 
Sendmail = /usr/sbin/sendmail

# Sendmail2 is provided for Exim users.
# It is the command used to attempt delivery of outgoing cleaned/disinfected
# messages.
# This is not usually required for sendmail.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
#For Exim users: Sendmail2 = /usr/sbin/exim -C /etc/exim/exim_send.conf
#For sendmail users: Sendmail2 = /usr/sbin/sendmail
#Sendmail2 = /usr/sbin/sendmail -C /etc/exim/exim_send.conf
Sendmail2 = /usr/sbin/sendmail

Many thanks in advance,
