I have been running the ConfigServer FE to MailScanner for years with very few issues.

But now, when I click on Access Mailwatch, I get the error message

I've got a pretty solid config of MS and SA working but some spam slips through no matter how hard I try to nail it down.

Lately for the last few weeks a very specific type of spam keeps getting through. The messages always look about the same. I run the sa-learn stuff on them always but it doesn't seem to be learning as I still get a few of these a day, sometimes up to 10 a day, strait in to...

Hello,

I installed MailScanner module in cPanel but despite the FAQ 15 it does scan outgoing emails for spam.

Because the sender's IP (their IP) is not in our SPF this causes a lot of soft-positives.

I didn't do any kind of special setup. Please let me know how to restore default behavior.

Thanks!

Hi, running MailScanner v4.84.5 and in the past have always put custom rules scores in /usr/mailscanner/etc/spamassassin.user.prefs.conf

Recently the custom scores in this file are being ignored and a score from somewhere else is being used. For example in spamassassin.user.prefs.conf I have
score URIBL_BLACK 6.0 6.0 6.0 6.0

But when URIBL_BLACK is triggered by an email message, the score is...

Hi,

I am following the instructions provided by the MSF devs as per:

I am running CentOS 7 and it does not seem to work, getting:

Job for clamd.service failed. See 'systemctl status clamd.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

Is it not compatible?

I need your help:

I was updating other srvices in cPanel Service Manager and when I clicked Save I got the failure described bellow.

It appears to be a Mailscanner bug.

Please help

After moving MS and MSFE to a new server, it seems more junk is being missed than on the old box. I'm assuming it's because of my not installing Razor and DCC, as all other settings match the old box. I've been looking for some time now for the instructions for installing and configuring these in MS that I know I'd read on the FAQ in the past, but can't find them.

Can anyone point me to the...

Our paperless office solution allows us to email a file link, for example \\fs1\vol1\documents\ci150831.pdf

If we use the Email File as a Link function, MailScanner does its job, reporting:
One or more of the attachments (ci150831.pdf.lnk) are on
the list of unacceptable attachments for this site and will not have
been delivered.

Is there a way to whitelist local attachments from...

Hello

We run ubuntu 14.04 with Postfix and Mailscanner installed for scanning our emails.
Today we received an email from one of our users about and email containing .dwg files in a zipped file.

This email had been blocked in the Mailscanner with the message MailScanner: No programs allowed (113B0K21.dwg)

As before we added some new rules to both filename.rules.conf and filetype.rules.conf...

clean.quarantine.cron has this setting:
$for days_to_keep = 7;;

We do a lot of email, and even 1 day gets us close to our partition size limit for /var
Is there a way to put clean.quarantine.cron in the cron.hourly directory, and change the setting to $seconds_to_keep or $minutes_to_keep?
This would let me use the quarantine option for that last few hours of email, which is just fine.

Hello,

I am new to MailScanner. So any help is more than appreciated. I would like to know if MailScanner can be used in Cpanel to set an outgoing Mail White list, so the origin E-mail accounts can only send mails to certain recipients (Then, it would block mails that are send to any other recipient that is not mentioned at the white list). Is this something that can be set with Cpanel ?

Thank...

Hi Sarah.

It is the first time from a long time that I see that MailScanner doesn't catch forged emails. A few of the accounts received the following email that doesn't exist on the server:

From: Incoming Fax
*Real domain was changed to user.com for obvious reasons.

Is there a tweak on MailScanner or exim that I have to check in order to block forged email address on the server?

Hi.

I have Mail Scanner installed, although the SPAM gets marked as SPAM, is there a way I can get the spam deleted without delivering it to the users mailbox?

Thanks

Hi all, new to the board so hope I'm posting this in the right place:)

I have added the following rule:
deny \.doc$

into:
/usr/mailscanner/etc/filename.rules.conf

Which successfully blocks files with the extension .DOC as intended, whilst allowing .DOCX through OK. However if the .DOCX attachment being sent has a filename which includes the ampersand (%26), the above rule is being triggered -...

I use Bayes filtering with Mailwatch and are very pleased with the results. Little gets through but spammers are cleaver.

I sometimes use the blacklist in MailScanner Frontend to block specific hosts such as *@baddomain. However many spammers use spam@sub.sub.sub.domain and it isn't feasible to list all their hosts in the blacklist. Is there a way to block *@*.domain so to speak in Mailscanner...

Hi,

for some reason I found our mailscanner to have issues with gmail.com:

exim -bt user@gmail.com
user@gmail.com cannot be resolved at this time: All deliveries are handled by MailScanner

Also all emails sent from gmail to our server receive a 550 sender verify failed. This issue gets resolved when disabling mailscanner. What could be the cause of this?
