I would like to mantain my own Spam Block List to improve the filter of spam in more than one server with MailScanner. Do you know how can I do it?

1- Subdomain delegation
rbl.mydomain.com. in ns rbl.mydomain.com.
rbl.mydomain.com. in a xx.xx.xx.xx

2- Spam.lists.conf

This file translates the names of the spam lists and spam domains lists into the real DNS domains to search....

Lately my log has been giving me this message.

At start of SA checks could not open /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Locks/MS.bayes.rebuild.lock, : 223 Time(s)
Could not open Bayes rebuild lock file /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Locks/MS.bayes.rebuild.lock, No such file or directory : 223 Time(s)

I am at a loss to know what this means or if it needs to be corrected and how.

Any help is...

Can anyone explain if I mark something as HAM then it is valid email?

What is the differences between HAM and SPAM?

Sorry for the dumb question but want to make sure I am doing this correctly?

Also what do most folks set there low scoring number to?

Thanks

New versions of CPanel are embracing Dovecot

What if any impact will switching have on Mail scanner - or the MS FE

The server load is non existent yet when I click in mailwatch to see the details about a certain message it hangs for at least 15 seconds before showing the results

the top 3 lines show right away its the rest of the page that hangs

What causes mail to skip being checked by MailScanner? I do not have a high load server (currently: 0.08 0.18 0.15 - for example).

Here's my MS report from yesterday. Notice how many were forwarded unscanned. I'd like to configure my server in such a way that very few, if any, messages are skipped.

Thanks!
