Scalix & Amavisd-New HOWTO - Wiki updated

[interways1]

Hi!

I don't have a sendmail.mc file. What are the changes I have to make to the sendmail.cf?

Thanks

Chris

This is a diff of my sendmail.cf before & after rebuilding it:

Hello!
Strangely, after following the setup Amavisd scanns emails, but only adds the X-Virus-Scanned lines.

Mails that are sent by cron/system to root get the correct Spam status headers, though.

Only mails coming in from the outside do not get any spam status indication, nor are they marked/deleted if they contain viruses.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot so far...

Did you make sure your scalix mail domain is in @local_domains_maps in amavisd.conf?

Info's in the wiki.

[interways1]

That fixed it. Do I have to manually insert all my domains or is there a better way?

It seems that no razor or other online spam checks are performed. Spam scores are always near zero. How do I turn them on?

And how can I virus-check internal mail that does not come from the outside?

Thanks so much for your patience!!!

Take a look at /usr/share/doc/amavisd-new-version/amavisd.conf-sample for your options there. Subdomains are easy.

It seems that no razor or other online spam checks are performed. Spam scores are always near zero. How do I turn them on?

You'll only see info relating to particular checks in the headers if the mail 'hits' any of them (I'm assuming you already have razor, pyzor & dcc installed & configured).

To check how SA is functioning, stop amavis using service/init.d and then as root do:

Code: Select all

amavisd debug-sa

This should tell you what components SA is using (CTRL-C out of that and restart amavis normally when done).

And how can I virus-check internal mail that does not come from the outside?

I confess I don't have an answer for that right now, but I'm sure someone else does.

Thanks so much for your patience!!!

You're welcome.

Hi!

Any idea how I can get amavis to bounce or reject a message that is considered spam?

The options are all set correctly, /var/log/mail then states:

"SYSERR(root): savemail: cannot save rejected email anywhere"

Do you have those problems?

Thanks a lot

Chris

[interways1]

Hi!

Fixed the problem/error message, but still no reject is sent. This is important, since I have to let the sender know that the message was not delivered.

Any suggestions?

BTW, thanks again...

[btisdall]

Did you uncomment/define $sa_kill_level_deflt & restart amavisd?

[interways1]

Yep, did that. It tries to send the DSN but the DSN itself gets blocked for being spam.

Strange.

[btisdall]

Can you please post the relevant sendmail output.

Hello,
I have make it like the description in HOWTO. But it doesn't work.. :-(
Sendmail will now send the email back to the computer from I have send the message He use as relay the IP from my workstation.
If I stop the Amavis-daemon and use the sendmail.cf without the config for Amavis than sendmail use the right relay... The sending Email hang in the Outbox..

Whats wrong..?

Hi Chris, it looks as if you haven't posted the entire relevant sendmail output.

[chris78]

how can I find the relevant log..?
I have post from
tail -f /var/log/mail

[btisdall]

I think you just need to include more lines beyond what you've already posted, but you could also check /var/log/mail.err (plus /var/log/mail.warn & /var/log/mail.info for luck). If sendmail isn't accepting mail for delivery it'll be logged in one of those or the file you've already tried.
