Hi,<br>
<br>
Running MailScanner 4.84.5-3 with Postfix 2.5.1<br>
<br>
Assuming a domain <a href="http://receipt.com" target="_blank">receipt.com</a> for which incoming email is normally scanned. I need to make an exception for a couple of known safe senders, so that email they send is never scanned at all, even when addressed to <a href="http://receipt.com" target="_blank">receipt.com</a><br>
<br>
This may not be the most sensible plan in the universe, but it is the one I have been tasked with by the man who signs my paycheck!<br>
<br>
My understanding is that I can have in MailScanner.conf a line<br>
<br>
Scan Messages = %rules-dir%/scan.messages.rules<br>
<br>
And then in scan.messages.rules, lines of the form<br>
<br>
From: <a href="mailto:safesender@domain.com">safesender@domain.com</a> no<br>
From: <a href="mailto:safesender2@domain.com">safesender2@domain.com</a> And To: <a href="mailto:recipient@receipt.com">recipient@receipt.com</a> no<br>
To: <a href="http://receipt.com" target="_blank">receipt.com</a> yes<br>
<br>
And this will completely bypass MS for those senders (optionally only when sending to stated recipient).<br>
<br>
Nevertheless, the sender's emails are being quarantined, as they contain attachments normally stopped by the file content rules.<br>
<br>
I've tried also adding the safe senders into a content ruleset to try and get them through the system, but this hasn't helped either.<br>
<br>
I presume I am missing something here. What do I need to do, in order to have MS honour such exceptions to the normal rules?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
