Weird Problem with MailScanner {Scanned by Allteks Mailsafe}

[Damian Rivas]

Problem solved, there was a missing character in line 236, it is a known
bug, so now it is running, I'll start testing and tell you if I have any
news.

Hi there people:

I've made some little upgrades to this poor old server:

1. I've added 128 MB more which I found in another old unused pc. So at
least the server now has 256 MB, it's still very low, but it is surely
better than before, I'll check the "pc cemetery" again to see if I can
find another unused DIMM PC100 memory.

2. I've upgraded sendmail to version 8.13.8 and added the GreetPause
function.

3. I've downloaded MIMEDefang and installed it, and then configured it
taking a look at the guide Paul sent me. I've used the first function
described there as what I want is to ask the Exchange server. Is that
function enough to prevent the Backscatter?

Another thing, more important than anything, I'm getting this error when
trying to start the MIMEDefang service with the rc.d script(remember I
use Slackware 9):

root at ns4:/etc/mail# . /etc/rc.d/rc.mimedefang start
bash: /etc/rc.d/rc.mimedefang: line 346: unexpected EOF while looking
for matching ``'
bash: /etc/rc.d/rc.mimedefang: line 366: syntax error: unexpected end of
file

That is a script which was included with the program package, I've
copied it to the rc.d directory, and then renamed it as rc.mimedefang.
Do the rc.d scripts use a different sintax? All guides were based on
init.d scripts, as far as I know, which is not too much yet, as you
know, there shouldn't be a problem, or should it be? Please if you can
help me it will be great, I'm really close to solving this problem (I
have to make some test first of course). If I cannot start the
mimedefang service is the same as nothing...

Sorry for my ignorance once again!

Thanks in advance!
Regards.-  
Damian

Hi Damian

Take a look at mimedefang - www.mimedefang.org - its what I use here and
works really well, no need to keep maps of all the users, just the
domain and IP address of the destination mailserver, it will then do a
call ahead check to see if the user is valid (assuming the destination
mailserver will respond with a 550 user not found)

Theres an example of a mimedefang filter that does exactly what you want
here http://www.mimedefang.org/kwiki/index.cgi?RelayCheckAddresses

Cheers

Paul
