Filename Restrictions Not working

[James Nelson]

Kevin,

Here's my complete MailScanner.conf:

http://pastebin.com/ci9dz8iL

Jerry:

I changed default to *@* this morning in the course of my, "did that work? No, okay, how about this," but the result was the same regardless.

I'm not applying any configuration via conf.d at the moment...if I were to do that, would it supersede anything in MailScanner.conf?



“a rockpile ceases to be a rockpile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.”

Maybe you could post your MailScanner.conf to pastebin.  I'm guessing something in there is wonky.
