Thanks for previous answers + How to stop "cascading" MailScannersfrom multiple scans?

[Chuck Rock]

This is how I did it.

 

../MailScanner.conf:Virus Scanning =
%etc-dir%/MailScanner/rules/not.localhost.rules

../MailScanner.conf:Spam Checks =
%etc-dir%/MailScanner/rules/not.localhost.rules

 

The not.localhost.rules looks like this.

 

From:   127.0.0.1       no

From:   12.160.144.2    no

From:   10.127.0.0/24   no

From:   68.90.69.12     no

FromOrTo:       default         yes

 

Any IP's you add to the rules with "no" will not be scanned when a message
comes from one of those IP's.

MailScannersfrom multiple scans?

 

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone for their very useful and kind replies to my questions
the other day regarding whitelisting. All is working very well now -- THANK
YOU!

I do have another question however.

I have multiple MailScanner boxes on multiple networks, all "backing each
other up" as secondary/tertiary MX servers, etc. Sometimes however, due to
the vagaries of routing, up/down circuits etc, it comes to pass that an
email's route to its final delivery destination in our network means that
the machine must pass through multiple MailScanner boxes. What I am seeing
is that MailScanner will scan each email, regardless of whether it has
already been scanned or not. 

My question is this: How do I have MailScanner scan an email just once? i.e.
If any of the MailScanner headers are already present in the email, how do I
have the email automatically just passed through?

Thanks so much! 
-Rick.
