MailScanner and Zimbra

[Thom van der Boon]

I have the same setup. 

check the age of the files in /var/spamassassin/version_number/ 

check wether there is a spamassassin update script in /etc/cron.daily (you will find nothing in your logs to check wether sa-update is working) 

If old files quick fix run as root: sa-update --verbose ; service mailscanner restart 
Script to auto-update: [ https://dsr.vanderboon.net/DSR/contrib/ | https://dsr.vanderboon.net/DSR/contrib/ ] 

In /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf check and change the following parameters: 

Log Spam = yes 
Log SpamAssassin Rule Actions = yes 
Max Spam Check Size = 20m 

restart MailScanner after this and check your logs 

Tip 1: Use KAM.cf 
KAM.cf is a great collection of spamassassin rules 
Rules are here: [ https://www.pccc.com/downloads/SpamAssassin/contrib/KAM.cf | https://www.pccc.com/downloads/SpamAssassin/contrib/KAM.cf ] 
Script to auto-update: [ https://dsr.vanderboon.net/DSR/contrib/ | https://dsr.vanderboon.net/DSR/contrib/ ] 


Tip 2: Use securiteinfo.com to improve ClamAV detection 
It is an paid extension to ClamAV, but it costs less than € 30/USD 35 per year (You only need pro version to protect your mail server)

Hi, 

We use MailScanner on our mail server. 

MailScanner scans the incoming mails and relays it to a VM with Zimbra 8.8.15 installed. 

However we notice that Zimbra's spam software captures many spam mails which are not captured by MailScanner. 

Why is this so ? 

thanks
