<DIV><SPAN class=421270714-03072003><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is probably a
REALLY dumb question, but at the moment I cannot see why this is
happening.....</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=421270714-03072003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I followed through
all the instructions for getting suse, postfix and mailscanner running. All
seemed to work fine, but I couldnt figure out why mailscanner wasnt stripping
viruses from attachments.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=421270714-03072003><FONT face=Arial size=2>This to my mind
should only start the inbound mail process, so the server receives emails and
stores them in /var/spool/postfix.in. Well on my server its actually forwarding
the mail as well.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=421270714-03072003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have checked for
the defer_transports line and that is present and correct in
/etc/postfix.in/main.cf.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=421270714-03072003><FONT face=Arial size=2>The only thing I can
think of is that I have altered /etc/postfix/transports to

<DIV><SPAN class=421270714-03072003><FONT face=Arial size=2>where dest.test is
my internal test mail domain and the ip address is of our test exchange server.
my /etc/postfix.in/main.cf file is still pointing to /etc/postfix various files.
I am trying to configure an email gateway which is listed as a primary MX host
for our domain, filters and strips viruses/spam and forwards those emails to our
exchange server. if I do not add this line to transport then I get a mail loop
error because the mailscanner server thinks its the best MX host for
dest.test.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
