Filename Restrictions Not working

[Glenn Steen]

Have you checked that there are headers in the delivered mails that
indicate that MailScanner has been involved? If not, especially with
some MTAs (like Postfix), it seems like you've gogofed your install a
bit and there is still a "non-MS-aware MTA" running, which would just
deliver/relay any mails....

Further... When you've fixed your typos (the back-forwardslash thing
for example), do as Denis says and try a lint run. If that works, then
do a debug run:
shut down MailScanner, then as the Run As user run:
MailScanner --debug
<generate some mail traffic, and let the debug run process the batch)...
Check output for errors...


Cheers
