Re: spamassassin custom scores not working

Hey bacngoctuan, here is what I finally found on my server~ Look in the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file. See if there is an "include" statement that is adding other .cf files to the list of configuration files that are checked. I found that our hosting company had sent out an email re...

Re: allow_mx_to_ip in exim configuration?

For future reference regarding sending email to a mail server that incorrectly have their MX record listed as an IP address rather than a fully qualified domain name, the solution is to add "allow_mx_to_ip" in the options section of your exim.conf, exim_outgoing.com and exim.local.conf (or...

allow_mx_to_ip in exim configuration?

Hi, we have a domain that we send email to often that has an IP address for an MX record. Wrong, I know but nevertheless, since I moved a new customer over to our servers they can't email to this domain any longer. I have added allow_mx_to_ip = yes (or true, have tried both), but I still get the bel...
