I've used MailScanner for years and it works quite well. But for some reason on a few accounts it is either not tagging spam or not deleting spam that is tagged even though that's the setting for the account in MailScanner Configuration for that account.

When MS failed because of that perl module, I did the updates however things just have not been right since.

It appears that mail just builds up in the queue for an hour or so, sometimes less, sometimes more. But it's not working the way it used to. I really need mail to be delivered instantaneously.

Is this a MS config setting?

Should I reinstall MS?

Or is it a pure exim problem?...

Just updated MailScanner - v4.77.10 installed
ConfigServer MailScanner Script - v2.75 installed and up to date.
Now it won't start.
I'm getting these errors, and I'm not sure what to do now. Suggestions welcome.

Hi,

I'm using mailscanner on a freebsd machine 7.2 with clamav.
It all runs fine and seems to process much more mail than the other 2 machines / nodes. However after a while clamav seems to crash with an error can't connect to demon. This happens after about a week or so, I have to restart mailscanner and sometimes even the node itself.

I'm wondering if anyone has any knowledge of any better av...

It would like an aid, I obtain to block e-mails with definitive extensions. The Sender receives the notification and the addressee receives a message that the annex of the email was barred in the server.

I want that the server does not deliver this email and that he only orders notification when sender

I have a single user that is getting 1-2 thousand SPAM messages a day. I have increased the SPAM score for the domain but fear it will impact the others users.

What can I do to help this user?

I have enabled Spamhaus and RBL but no luck.

Thoughts?

Thanks

I am trying to speed up MailScanner on one of our servers, so in the MailScanner configs we have this:

Lately, our hosted customers have been hammered by (male sex) drug spam. The message only contains a single image. Most of them advertise

The messages are obviously coming from all over, broken/hacked PCs servers, proxies, you name it. The Spam Assassin score never seems to get above 3 or so.

Is there any way we can battle this? We are getting plenty of complaints.

I've searched the net and these forums and can't seem to find an answer.

I'm getting a lot of spam with the subject starting with {Spam? 0} but the headers show MailScanner-SpamScore: ssssssssssssssssssss and I can't figure out why it does that.

Here's the headers from an email doing that and another spam not doing that.

subject showing 0:...

How can i prevent spam from spammer that use same domains hosted in my server to send garbage to my clients.
I need to block this, and need to add this domains to the whitelist cause real emails some times gets blocked. :confused:

Thx

I have this setting in my mailscanner.conf file
Remove These Headers = remove.headers.rules

It always worked till last MSFE update to MailScanner - v4.76.24 and ConfigServer MailScanner Script - v2.74.

I did not edit the remove.headers.rules file, so it should not change the behavior.

Now all the headers I need to remove are left intact.

Is anyone else having this problem?

How do I...

There is a spammer sending spam with larger image files attached to one particular email address. They are bypassing the spam feature by sending large files (300k and above) so spam report score is Too Large (I presume that means the files are too large to scan for spam)

I initially tried blocking the small IP range which stop them for a while, but now they are using a variety of IP address,...

Hello,

works Mailscanner with Plesk - Plesk 9.2.1 use new Postfix?

Best regards

Now that I am running MailScanner does it still read the Spam Assassin rules that is stored in .spammassassin/ user_prefs. I would like to add custom rules.

If not how do I update the rules? I did see the updates in mailwatch but I am still getting tons of spam since moving to mail scanner.

Thanks
