Hi All,

We are having an issue periodically where by MailScanner will stop processing our mail queue and the server load will spike to the point where it is mostly unusable. In all instances going to the MailScanner FE interface and clicking restart fixes the issue within 30 seconds or so and the server load drops back down - it however does not fix the issue as the mail queue continues to rise...

We are suddenly getting a fatal error with the front end of Mailscanner. We have not made any server changes.

When a message is viewed get the following error on all types on messages other than No Scan messages:

ERROR: malformed JSON string, neither tag, array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 (before Unknown token. Pleas... ) at...

Hi, today i've noticed that an email passed with a .jar attachment.

Filename Rules = %rules-dir%/filename.rules.rules

Hi.
MailControl is really great now that has all the futures that we asked for, THANK YOU!

Now, I want to ask if you can set the REFRESH option as a button and not inside the Configuration Menu to start or stop it,.
it is a time consuming entering to adjust this.

Would you be kind to have an slider button that we could move to turn it off or to select the time that we want it to refresh the...

Hello,

lot of legitimate emails were banned by mailscannerFE because of high scoring MIXED_ES rule.
I'm trying to google it but cannot find any answer, also I really can not understand what is MIXED_ES rule means.

Here I pasted one example (this mail was full clean, no attachments.

Thank you

Mailwatch uses a mysql database named mailscanner (this is a systemwide database not tied to any particular domain).

Because of the late situation with Mailwatch, I believe that we will be forced to uninstall Mailwatch sooner or later.

To understand the consequences of that I need some information:

1) Was the mailscanner database originally created by Mailscanner itself or by Mailwatch?
2) Is...

While tailing logs I noticed that I was getting an error message where MailScanner was complaining that it couldn't find the virus.scanning.rules file on the filesystem root.

The hover color has changed and the line color changes from orange (or whatever color the line was) to white. This is very anoying as we loose the line status of the email...

I am noticing that ASN lookup information provided is not accurate, and is extremely outdated. Take this IP address for example, 192.41.87.122. In the MailScanner MailControl entry for an email that originated from there, the Header IPs section, Under the Organization column, it shows the ASN information as: AS13649 ViaWest. However, this is inaccurate.

If I do a whois lookup on my cPanel / WHM...

the new layout with MSFE 8.20 is horrible.
Can we revert to open in new window and put the from & to on separate lines again please. It just makes doing anything much harder & more difficult.
The clickable subject line won't open in a new window only in same tab & that is problematic when you want to look at multiple emails
the hover colour changing to white is very offputting when scrolling
The...

I registered an account with SpamCop.net to use the custom email address for reporting Spam received by my server to the SpamCop.net service.

I entered my SpamCop address into the settings at Mail Scanner Front-End >> MailControl UI Settings >> SpamCop Reporting (If you have an email address to forward spam to SpamCop you can list it here to have new options added to the UI) ;

This now exposes...

I know that the feature is listed as deprecated

I use it a lot to see traffic hitting the server

the link is now going to a blank page

Ive tried the update scripts
curl -sL | perl

Any other ideas to get this tool out of the dirt ?

thanks in advance

Hi.
I have been using MailScanner for more than 12 years now and I loved MailWatch because of its simplicity and it could be set to watch the emails that MailScanner processed.

With years MailWatcht become obsolete and ConfigServer make a move to not use MailWatch anymore and MailControl was created for us.

I am honest that I not used MailControl as much as MailScanner for one reason, to watch...

Is there a way to resend a message manually via the terminal instead of using the MailScanner Front-End ???

I ask because I have several emails (885 emails) that have been blocked by false-positive and I have ID of them all, but it is impractical to do this using the Front End for everyone.

I would like to run a script and release them all at once via shell script.

It's possible?

We use a few RBL's and one of them started blacklisting AOL IP addresses. The RBL is still very good in filtering bad email so we would like to continue using it. We were able to find the AOL outbound server IP ranges (204.29.186.0/26, 204.29.186.64/27) and we were wondering if we added those to the MailScanner Front-End Server Spam Whitelist if that would take precedence over the IP's in the RBL...

Hi, Sarah.
Could it be possible to have on Mail Control the option to sort by Subject ?
It is important to see all the spam emails that uses the same subject even with different IPs.

Thank you.

We have a few consistent spammers that hit our mail servers every day that we block using the ASN feature of CSF. It is highly effective but seems like overkill for spam. I'm wondering if the CSF ASN block feature can be added to MailScanner? That way we can only add the ASNs there and remove them from CSF. That would be an awesome new feature!

Thanks for an amazing and indispensable product!...

Hello. Why is not possible to set Low and High Spam Score with decimals?.

Kind regards.
