v5.0.6 Released

Tue Aug 22 20:51:48 UTC 2017

The way I do is to route the domain with the least ammount of traffic throu the new mailscanner and keep the rest via the old server. Test everything, solve any problem and when you are satisfied move domains from the old server to the new server graduately 

OR 

In DNS set the new MailScanner server as a backup MX. Much spam senders preference backup MX servers, so it is quite a good playground to catch anything which goes throu your backup MX, when you are happy with the tests stop the primary MX for a short time..... everything will go throu the backup MX and you can restore the old situation in seconds simply by starting the old server 

OR a combination of both scenarios

Gao, 

You can set up a test system the same as your original (with a different ip address and latest software versions, of course). Just make sure the test system doesn't deliver to the same destination, otherwise you will start seeing double (emails, that is). 

Duplicating email to a system is not something that you normally do. It may be possible somehow in postfix with live mail. I wouldn't want to tinker with my production system like that, though. 

What I have done before is temporarily stop MailScanner on the production system just long enough to let some mail queue up in the HOLD queue, make a copy, then start MailScanner again. You can then literally drop them into the same HOLD queue on the test environment and watch it churn through them.

Hi, 

I'd like to test the new version and what is the best way to setup a test system? My production system is CentOS7+Postfix+MailScanner. I plan to build another system to test. How can I duplicate all the incoming email to my test system? 

Thanks 

Gao
