<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have SpamAssassin and MailScanner running on my
RedHat 7.3 machine. The server is running Ensim WEBppliance PRO 3.5.10. The
server hosts about a dozen domains. I run sendmail and procmail. Almost
everything works great. Almost.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mail from the outside world works as expected, gets
scanned and scored and so forth. I've got SA's threshold set to 5 and am running
DCC and Razor...in the two days I tested it over the weekend, it correctly
identified 99%+ of spam.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My big problem is that sometimes mail from within
the server never arrives...never bounces...just goes to a black
hole.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'll list some examples so it makes more
sense:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) let's pretend that domain1.com and domain2.com
are hosted on my server. external1.com is not hosted on my
server.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) <A
href="mailto:steve@domain1.com">steve@domain1.com</A> and <A
href="mailto:john@domain1.com">john@domain1.com</A> can both sent to and
receive email from <A href="mailto:susan@external1.com">susan@external1.com</A>
just fine. <A href="mailto:dave@domain2.com">dave@domain2.com</A> and <A
href="mailto:scott@domain2.com">scott@domain2.com</A> can also sent to and
receive email from <A href="mailto:susan@external1.com">susan@external1.com</A>
to. Internal to the outside world works.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) <A
href="mailto:steve@domain1.com">steve@domain1.com</A> can not email <A
href="mailto:john@domain1.com">john@domain1.com</A> and vice-versa.
Internal to internal is not working.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4) it gets stranger. <A
href="mailto:dave@domain2.com">dave@domain2.com</A> can send email to <A
href="mailto:scott@domain2.com">scott@domain2.com</A>, but not the other way
around. If scott replies to dave's message, then dave never gets the
reply.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As I said before, the message doesn't bounce or
anything...it just goes into a black hole and is never seen again.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I installed MailScanner, the
documentation said I was supposed to do the following (which is what I
did):</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) "service sendmail stop"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) "service MailScanner start"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In an attempt to troubleshoot the problem, I tried
the following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) "service MailScanner stop"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) "service sendmail start"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) "service MailScanner start"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now everyone can email everyone else: internal<-> internal and
internal<->external just fine. Unfortunately, now nothing gets processed
through spamassassin.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How do I go about fixing this?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please help.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
