<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

<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>
