Preserving sender IP through Scalix Relay

Postby m2pilot » Mon May 21, 2007 11:54 am

Pretty sure I know the answer to this already, but asking in case something has changed.

I'm integrating mailwasher into my scalix setup. It works great & I'm happy... except for RBLs. In this case, it looks like the Scalix Relay is preventing mailwasher from being able to correctly process RBL requests.

By default, Scalix relay is changing the sender IP address for each email to 127.0.0.1 before it passes the email off to mailwasher for processing. While mailwasher can successfully perform content analysis-type spam filtering, it can no longer submit the email the RBLs. What's needed is some way to prevent / undo the sender IP rewriting before Scalix passes the email off.

My question: can this be done? I already know I could disable Scalix Relay & have Sendmail do it instead. And then either have sendmail subit to RBLs, or let mailwasher do it via sendmail. But I am looking for a solution that still employs Scalix Relay.

Thanks for any help.
