ScamNailer

[Richard Mealing]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for this. I went for the database clamd option in the end.
I don't imagine there's any difference. I want the phishing just added as spam viruses (which share the same header as normal spam), but I might split up phishing and spam viruses at some point.

It's all working now. Thanks for your explanation (and sorry for top posting).


Rich

First of all, see the thread that begins at<http://lists.mailscanner.info/pipermail/mailscanner/2013-June/100789.html>
and particularly, the patch in the post at <http://lists.mailscanner.info/pipermail/mailscanner/2013-June/100822.html>.

Otherwise you will be working with old data.

The bottom has a score for the rule 'SCAMNAILER'. The score is not important, but you need a 'SpamAssassin Rule Actions' rule or ruleset for it. See the documentation in MailScanner.conf around line 2551 starting with "# This next setting is very powerful."

In my case, I have

SpamAssassin Rule Actions = %rules-dir%/spamassassin_rule_actions.rules

and for the default rule I have

FromOrTo:	default	SCAMNAILER=>store,not-deliver,forward
user+phish at example.com,header "X-GPC-MailScanner-Originally-To: _TO_"

which will store the message in quarantine, not deliver it, forward it to user+phish at example.com and add the header
X-GPC-MailScanner-Originally-To: with the original envelope recipient to the forwarded message.
