I have installed MailScanner FE and recently I started to notice outbound spam from one of the accounts

going to logs I found this

Randomly yesterday everything went from working fine to not working at all. We have a WHM/cPanel dedicated server, and MailScanner was installed manually years ago, not as a WHM module but just directly in CentOS.

I believe it's version 4.84.5.

We restarted the server just to be sure of a fresh start. Then tried to run service MailScanner restart and receive errors like this:

Can't locate...

Hi,
We needed to reboot the server last night. After we did, it seems Mailscanner did not start properly.
We noticed the mail queue had over 800 emails pending. Tried to restart Mailscanner - that did not work (I was in a panic, so I did not properly make note of the error.) Then I just disabled Mailscanner to get email moving again.

Exim services were restored and email is delivering now, but...

I see v5.2.1-1 available on GitHub, but it doesn't show as an available update on my WHM.
WHM is showing v5.0.2

Has 5.2.1-1 been put on general release ?

Hey there,
I've set up Mailscanner to send out notification to the server admin and the sender when an email is blocked, say for having multiple extensions in the filename.

The notification email to the server admin goes out correctly, using the Notices From and Local Postmaster parameters from MailScanner Config.

The notification email to the sender however doesn't seem to use the Notices From...

Hi,

I've added some tld's to the Blacklist via MSFE > Front-End Settings > Server Spam Blacklist in the format of

*@*.tld

eg: *@*.icu

Clicked Change and then went on to reload and restart MailScanner for good luck.

All emails from .icu are now being marked as Blacklisted in MSFE and the Spam Report shows spam (blacklisted) but these emails are still being delivered to an account where they...

Hi,

My clients are having issues emailing themselves with the above score of 2.84 not helping.

How can I reduce the 'Delivered to internal network by host with dynamic-looking rDNS' score to ZERO ....

Thanks

Hello, last night WHM updated itself to v82 and I started getting emails that mailscanner is not working, a quick google search brought me to this:

I updated the scripts on the server via this: curl -sL | perl

but i am not still getting emails from WHM saying that mailscanner has failed, what can I do?

Love MailScanner and I'm currently using it under CPanel. However my host will be migrating to InterWorx and I'm inquiring about support for that interface.

Howdy, All,

A few questions on MailScanner. Using v5.0.2

Have some inbound mail from folks using Microsoft servers, and they're being marked as spam based on their IP existing in the Spamhaus SBL. Trying to mitigate that without changing URIBL_SBL too much.

As I understand it, /usr/mailscanner/etc/rules/scan.messages.rules is global, used for bypassing scanning of any sort.

Wondering if use...

We are licenced: MailScanner - v5.0.2 installed

After updating Monitored Services in WHM / Service Manager I got an error when Saving / Restarting.

Hello,

I notice that emails sent to non existing accounts are being accepted by Mailscanner and can be seen on MailControl.

The last line in the mail forward file is: *: :fail: No Such User Here

It appears to me that it is not behaving like described here:

Is there a way to set Mailscanner or Exim to completely block mails to non existing users?
What have I done wrong?

Anyone else seeing MailScanner / Exim going into an endless loop upon upgrading cPanel to v78.0.18 ?

Is there a way to discard emails with a specific Subject if they are sent to any email address on the server?

For example our server is being bombarded with spoofed emails with subject lines such as:

Your account was under attack! Change your access data!
Security Notice. Someone have access to your system.
Security Alert. Your accounts was compromised. You need change password!

It is possible...

Just realised that since the upgrade last night of WHM to v70.0.32 no emails seem to be being processed.

Spamassassin can put the spam into a folder, but in MailScanner I can only find a configuration for the spam to be sent to a mail address. Our clients complain that they do not want to go to a specific mail account to check for spam and most of them dont now how to configure rules so that emails with Spam?, etc, go to a specific folder.

Do you know of any way this can be done like in...

Hello? I checked that the Mailscanner tool for being excellent in stopping viruses and 20% of spam in total, this tool if made available for the clerk to have access to Front-and, an option should not exist.

I have checked the documentation in the User Guide PDF as well as the Command Index, but there is no clarification as to if multiple email addresses can be used in the actions rule.

Does anyone have any information as to if this is supported, and how so?

Here is what I'm attempting, but I'm not sure that it is working or officially supported.

Hello everybody,

we use the filename filtering to block .doc files. .docx should not be blocked.

The problem is, if the filename matches some special criterias, it will be recognized as a .doc file by Mailscanner even though it is a .docx file.

I found several criteria, which will trigger that bug :

- The filename contains ä, ü, ö (e.g. töst.docx is recognized as .doc file)
- The filename...
