Frequently Asked Questions
I can't see any quarantined messages in the clamav webmin applet
This is due to an incompatibility between the applet and the way that MailScanner stores messages in the quarantine folder. I am working on finding a fix for this. As a workaround I suggest that you change the Spam Actions parameter in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf tonotify forward spam-mailbox@yourdomain.tld
or
deliver header "X-Spam-Status: Yes"
How does the address verification feature work?
This is a feature of Postfix. In a nutshell, postfix will attempt to verify the recipient addresses in incoming messages against the downstream MTA (Mail Server). You can read more about how this works here.(http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_VERIFICATION_README.html)I can login to the console, but not to the Webmin interface - What's wrong?
This could be due to the fact that Webmin doesn't like special characters in the password (I've had reports of passwords containing @ not working). Try resetting your password using different characters in the console. I'm afraid that I can't do much abou this one as I don't develop the Webmin software - I just bundle it in with ESVA...My mailserver won't validate any recipient addresses, so ESVA rejects all my mail - how do I fix this?
You can read more about how ESVA validates addresses here. (http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_VERIFICATION_README.html)You have two options:
- Configure your downstream mail server to allow this functionality
or
- Tell ESVA not to validate by editing the main.cf file:
-Find the line in main.cf ( https://youresvaserver/postfix/manual.cgi )
- Remove the reject_unverified_recipient parameter from smtpd_recipient_restrictions
- save the file
-restart mailscanner (from the commandline on the console or in an ssh session type service MailSacnner restart)
I want ESVA to check mail for multiple domains - Is this possible? How do I set this up?
Absolutely.You will need to do three things (pretty much the same as for a single domain really):
- Make sure there is an A and an MX record for each domain pointing at the ESVA public address (hopefully your NAT firewall!!!)
- Tell ESVA which domains it should relay for in main.cf - e.g. relay_domains = $mydomain, global-domination.eu, global-domination.co.uk
- Configure your _internal_ DNS (this is the one that ESVA is configured to reference) with zones matching the relay domains with apropriate A and MX records for the target domains. Don't forget to make sure that your DNS server is configured to forward requests that it can't answer itself!!! (Most MS DNS servers don't need to be told to do this - they will do it automatically, as long as they have a route to the internet)
If this is v1.5.1 (Cragieburn), why does the console think it's v2.5.2 (Temple Basin)?
Ummmm.... because it _IS_ version 2.5.2, and I had brain-fade when I zipped it up, uploaded it, created the web pages, vmtn forum...I'm working on a slightly tweaked version now and that will be an upgrade package you will install to 1.5.1/1.5.2. I don't know what the version number will be yet because I haven't finished yet.
