<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>All</DIV>
<DIV>I've been asked to allow through html email to a particular domain and from a particular server, via mailScanner.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To test this I have an account off site at <A href="mailto:live@edu" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:live@edu">live@edu</A></DIV>
<DIV>All email goes via Mailscanner then on to a MS Exchange DAG at work.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On the Mailscanner running Centos there is an aliases file</DIV>
<DIV>For my test account I have two entries both point to the same account on exchange</DIV>
<DIV>a:<SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab> <A href="mailto:a@ex.mydomin" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:a@ex.mydomin">a@ex.mydomin</A></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab>b:<SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab> <A href="mailto:a@ex.mydomain" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:a@ex.mydomain">a@ex.mydomain</A></SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab>I've newaliase'd to make sure that they are correct.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab>If I send an html email with image in the body of the email from the off site account to <A href="mailto:a@mydomain" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:a@mydomain">a@mydomain</A> it gets through to Exchange intact. </SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab>If I do the same to b<A href="mailto:b@mydomain" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:b@mydomain">@mydomain</A> it gets through BUT the image is as an attachment.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab>That suggest that the Aliases file is correct and as <A href="mailto:B@mydomin" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:B@mydomin">B@mydomin</A> is rejected if it's not in aliases that</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab> supports that.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab>I have had a look through all the rule and conf files and removed any 'To:' references to <A href="mailto:a@mydomain" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:a@mydomain">a@mydomain</A> and b<A href="mailto:b@mydomain" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:b@mydomain">@mydomain</A> restarted MailScanner several times and it consitantly does the above.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab>When I look at /var/log/maillog every time I send a test message to <A href="mailto:b@mydomain" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:b@mydomain">b@mydomain</A> it has the line 'Contents Checks: Detected and will convert HTML message to Plain text in 'messagenumber'.'</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab>If I send the message to <A href="mailto:a@mydomain" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:a@mydomain">a@mydomain</A> that line is not present. Something is telling MailScanner to ignore <A href="mailto:a@mydomain" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:a@mydomain">a@mydomain</A> but not <A href="mailto:B@mydomain" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:B@mydomain">B@mydomain</A> </SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab>This suggests to me that one of the rule files for html should have a line either allowing <A href="mailto:a@mydomain" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:a@mydomain">a@mydomain</A> or disallowing <A href="mailto:b@mydomain" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:b@mydomain">b@mydomain</A>.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab>I have been through every rule and removed any reference to either address.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab>I have been through every .conf. the rules are where they should be and Mailscanner is set to look in the right directory.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab>Is there any other rule that might be kicking in?</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab><SPAN class=yiv1982860000tab>Is it likely that because things like address books for our exchange are visable at our <A href="mailto:live@edu" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:live@edu">live@edu</A> domain that email <A href="mailto:a@mydomain" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:a@mydomain">a@mydomain</A> is being treated differently by Mailscanner?</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
