Re: {disarmed} MailScanner has detected fraud ON OUTGOING MAILS

I find this brutally obnoxious as well. Pretty much EVERY email I receive from a business that has the SLIGHTEST bit of HTML in the body gets this big red obnoxious "Mailscanner has detected possible fraud attempt, etc." -- I Googled it myself and came to the hunch that just putting "...

MOST legal documents use multiple periods in filename and are getting stopped as virus'

Good Morning there is a default setting in MailScanner which is brutally restrictive, though understandable in its intentions. Any document (or file in general) that has TWO or more "periods" (example document.version2.pdf) is stopped automatically as being a virus (often scammers will dis...

Out of the box spam filters trapping MORE than MailScanner

Good Morning I ran through the forum a bit to see if this had been answered, and went through the list of troubleshooting options but basically the problem is that MailScanner is failing to catch some REALLY entry level spam. My out of the box junk mail filter is catching every single one of them. T...

Keeping good mail much longer

Hi, I have not been able to figure out how to keep mail any longer than the default. What I mean is this: When I login to MailWatch, I can run reports for a particular account or email address, and when I click on one, I'm taken to a screen where I can click on a link at the bottom and the actual me...

Re: Spam on the Rise

I get a little confused where my spamassasin is 'wrapped up' in mailscanner...from what I've hear Sarah say, configserver has no control over spam, it's just a "packaging" script allows you to do a couple of extra things. Can we go to the spamassasin wiki and learn there? I've heard that t...

Re: Quicker ways to train

I'm really surprised no replies here. The basic message is, "ConfigServer MailScanner is letting alot of spam through and I've followed about everything I can understand on the FAQs and still no improvement. Training does nothing. Adding ips' with the last octet replaced by 0/24 does nothing. N...

Quicker ways to train

Hi All, Because MailScanner seems to be letting more and more spam through, I'd like to train it, but the only method of training I'm aware of is painfully primitively slow: Going to MailWatch, hitting "message operations" and clicking one box at a time, having to wait 60 seconds for that ...
