Weird Problem with MailScanner {Scanned by Allteks Mailsafe}

[Paul Houselander]

Hi

When I used to use that script I did multiple domains like this

$relay = "172.16.48.19" if ($recip =~ /\bcht\.com\.ar\b/);
$relay = "172.16.48.19" if ($recip =~ /\baaovyt\.com\.ar\b/);
$relay = "172.16.48.19" if ($recip =~ /\bskalbue\.com\.ar\b/);
$relay = "172.16.48.19" if ($recip =~ /\bci-educ\.com\.ar\b/);
$relay = "172.16.48.19" if ($recip =~ /\hispanoamericana\.com\.ar\b/);
$relay = "172.16.48.19" if ($recip =~ /\bconsulthouse\.travel\b/);
$relay = "172.16.48.19" if ($recip =~ /\bconsul\.travel\b/);

You also need to check that mimedefang is aware that it should be using the
recipient checking, on a redhat based system you set it in the init script

/etc/rc.d/init.d/mimedefang - look for MX_RECIPIENT_CHECK - make sure its
set to yes

See if thats a difference.

I would possibly post these questions to the mimedefang list as its not
really relavant to MailScanner.
