this morning I had a weird situation as I discovered mailscanner was stopped (was so since yesterday afternoon, no reason found but in any case config file empty, no rules anymore, just a dead duck). Forced a re install, then forced rules etc to get it back up and running.

Luckily server retained all the mails in queue all that time so nothing was lost. Though all root mails were also queued,...

Hello,

I'm experiencing problems with storing of non-spam messages in /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/ /nonspam . Even though I have disabled storing of non-spam messages, new messages are constantly appearing in nonspam directory and using a lot of disk space.

Here's the content of /usr/mscpanel/msconfig.txt

For some reason today I just got an email from RulesDuJour Run Summary.
In this email it gave me a breakdown of the SARE rulesets (not sure what all that is)

but at the end I get this:

With the MSFE configuration, where should I be placing custom spam scoring rules?

I would like to block some of the new TLD's, as they are entirely spam. I can do this by adding *@*.top to the Blacklist under Front End Settings, but then the spam filter is still dealing with the volume.
Can I setup a custom filter for the TLD's in the Exim sysfilter to just reject all email from those TLD's outright, just rejecting it before it ever gets to MailScanner?

I uninstalled MailScanner using the script and just noticed I have a significant number of messages starting to back up in the Pending Queue (per ConfigServer Mail Queues). I cannot seem to release these messages or even force the queue. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks -

After adding email domain to the blacklist I get an email titled cPanel -> MailScanner Report which tells me that an certain domains have been removed from the blacklist, for example;

mail.xxxx-clairvoyant.com removed from spam.blacklist.rules

A similar thing is happening with the whitelist rules

Why is this happening and how can I stop this?

Hello,

We have had a request from a client to silently copy all inbound and outbound emails from a member of staff to their line manager. Normally we would use an exim custom filter, but having done this the filter did not work. We have now been told this is because we use mailscanner and the exim filters therefore will never work.

I've had a really good look around but I can't see a way to...

For the last week or so I've been seeing a lot of these notifications in my logwatch email and was wondering if this is normal or not. I've been researching online but cannot find anything related to these logs to explain why this is happening or how to resolve it. Any ideas?

I feel like my Bayes is not auto-learning high scoring spam. When I look at my bayes DB info, it shows the # os Spam messages as 685, which has been pretty much me manually training it. In Mailwatch, I see a lot of high-scoring spam go by, but that does not seem to increment the # of spam.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

Is there an error somewhere my end or is there a caching error on your server

The exim delivery queue size is 2016-09-28 10:30:32 Warning: No server certificate defined; TLS connections will fail.

I keep getting that message every 5 minutes on my email however, there is no queue at all.

For some reason MailScanner is not parsing the proper line it should and instead gets the warning message from exim, causing it to not recognize the queue size or something...
