Hi,
I think I may have tinkered with mailscanner a year or two ago but never went ahead with it. Now, for ome reason all emails on my server are stuck in the mail queue with the error form cpanel mail manager:

Good Morning
I ran through the forum a bit to see if this had been answered, and went through the list of troubleshooting options but basically the problem is that MailScanner is failing to catch some REALLY entry level spam. My out of the box junk mail filter is catching every single one of them. There might be 20 every morning, most of the same exact spam emails, that MailScanner is failing to...

Hi, I try to REPORT SPAM, but unfortunately I keep getting the following error shown by the MSFE pop-up (please see below) & reporting of the e-mail as spam unfortunately fails..

Please note:-
A) We are running Directadmin v1.658, Exim version 4.97 #2, SpamAssassin V4.0, MailScanner v5.4.4., ConfigServer MailScanner Script v5.08 & MailScanner Front-End v9.25).

On a cPanel server running MailScanner for the last several years, for some strange reason, emails from all users on the domain to each other are being suddenly marked as spam.

I checked spam.scanning.rules at /usr/mailscanner/etc/rules/ and found an entry that marks incoming emails to this domain to be scanned:
To: *@domain.com yes

The solution seems to be to define a ruleset at...

This afternoon I updated my MailScanner and MailScanner Front end.
Now MailScanner will no longer start.

Below are the error messages.

Any guidance on how to resolve this will be greatly appreciated.

Hi. I am getting this message in the Spam Report (components) of mail control:

RCVD_IN_ZEN_BLOCKED_OPENDNS 0.00 ADMINISTRATOR NOTICE: The query to zen.spamhaus.org was blocked due to usage of an open resolver. See

Where should I change this open resolver? Or what should be done? Any ideas?

Thanks

More and more spam emails are arriving at my servers with message bodies that look legit so they pass as NOT spam. But their PDF attachment contains blatant spam, so they are using this method to get by the spam filters. Does Mailscanner scan PDF files for spam? If not, what can be done to stop this?

Thanks,
Greg

Hello All

We've been using Mailscanner on our servers and so far it's been very helpful.

However, we would like to find a way to NOT forward emails that are flagged as High Spam Score to any email forwarders our clients might have.
We want to do this in order to prevent any further rate limiting from clients like Gmail and Outlook that is being caused due to the massive spam emails our servers...

Hello,

I'd like to send all RBL lookup queries to a remote standalone DNS server dedicated to RBL lookups only.

Our cPanel install uses the non-caching version of pDNS, a remote Bind install would go some way to getting access to our RBLs back without the your query was blocked issues we're currently facing.

If I were to add the following to /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf would MailScanner...

hello, is it possible to use IMUNIFY 360 instead on ClamAV with configserv Mailscanner

Thanks :)

I've been trying to stop a bot from sending email with a subject like:

Hello,

I currently have Mailscanner running under CPanel and i was wondering if anyone managed to set it up in a way a user can just forward the email to a spam@ to pipe the emails into learning and also add it to the whitelist or even just auto-whitelist address when a learn request is issued.

Hello!
Today a few clients received an email from their own accounts saying they've been hacked and the hacker has access to their mail and cPanel account,
We verified and the mail was sent from a different server.

Because of that we're making some changes to the SPF, exim and mailScanner configuration, there is some some mailScanner option to block remote mail from an account to itself or just...

How i can delete this manually? from the shell, looks like ConfigServer Mail Queues cant do it,

Hello Sarah,
would you be kind to tell how to fix this?

Is there a setting within Mailscanner that allows for the rejection of mail at SMTP time when the score exceeds a predefined threshold?

This feature exists within the Exim Configuration Manager although I have not enabled it as the advice is not to tinker with Spamassassin settings when Mailscanner is installed. We have this feature running on an old server and it works really well.

As such can...

Hello,

Just recently had a new server configured by Configserver and decided to go with Mailscanner this time around, never tried it.

Anyway, when restarting Mailscanner the following error is logged to /var/log/maillog and I'd like to fix it.
