<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="verdana, sans-serif">So, all the sendmail behaviour was configured in <a href="http://submit.cf">submit.cf</a> not <a href="http://sendmail.cf">sendmail.cf</a>. I moved <a href="http://submit.cf">submit.cf</a> and created a link between <a href="http://sendmail.cf">sendmail.cf</a> and <a href="http://submit.cf">submit.cf</a>. So submission will behave the same as the daemon, using the ../mqueue and trying to deliver the email first (to the final MTA), and if it fails it will store it in the regular queue.</font></div>

I thought this was a winner, but although the email is not scanned the "Always looked up last" is still triggered and a db record is created.<div>
<br></div><div>I also retried the sendmail line with -OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue but i get a rare permission error on the queue, i think that option is not valid using sendmail to send email, it just works when sendmail is a daemon recieving emails (maybe a consecuence of the monolithic architecture).</div>
<div><br></div><div>As a last option i will tweak the "Always looked up last" function to avoid logging specific localhost traffic. If i found a workaround with sendmail i will post it,<br><br></div><div>Thanks for all the comments, </div>

Might I suggest "not to scan e-mail from 127.0.0.1 and to:<a href="http://yourdomain.com" target="_blank">yourdomain.com</a>" just to avoid a bad script from being (mis)used to send e-mail out from your server onto third parties? You *usually* don't release mail to third parties, and in such exceptions you might want to make additional exceptions for those third parties.<br>

>> Hi everybody, does anyone know if it is possible to "release" an email and queue it in the sendmail outbound queue without being processed by MailScanner? I want to avoid MS because it generates a duplicated record in the DB. We used Mailwatch release method for some time and then a custom script to feed the released email to sendmail, but both options makes the email to be reprocesed by MS.<br>
