[Question] RE: sending warning message

[Eoin Kim]

Hi all,

I am having a bit of trouble with configuring MailScanner regarding the notification. To be clear, my planned scenario is:

1.       Sending email from my company to the Internet with a bad attachment - sender (company user) receives a warning message, recipient doesn't.

2.       Sending email from the Internet to my company with a bad attachment - recipient (company user) receives a warning message, sender doesn't.

So, what I have configured is:
Notify Senders = %rules-dir%/notify_senders.rules
Notify Senders Of Viruses = yes
Notify Senders Of Blocked Filenames Or Filetypes = yes
Notify Senders Of Blocked Size Attachments = yes
Notify Senders Of Other Blocked Content = yes

And the notify_senders.rules is:
From:                    a.b.c.d  yes
FromOrTo:          default no

a.b.c.d is the IP address of our mail server. Now, what is happening is:

1.       Sending email from my company to the Internet with a bad attachment - sender and recipient both receive a warning message.

2.       Sending email from the Internet to my company - recipient (company user) receives a warning message, sender doesn't.

So, my scenario #1 is not working at the moment. Is there anything I am missing or I have to add on? I would appreciate your help in advance.
