I'm trying to setup the above, but I'm not having a lot of luck. I have
a working Postfix install (Postfix + Dovecot), and can send and receive
messages without problem. I downloaded the RPM's from the mailscanner
site, read the readme, and ran the install.sh. Everything went fine, so
I moved on. Went back to the website, and read the info on setting up
MailScanner with Postfix, and made the necessary changes (modified
/etc/postfix/main.cf, and added header_checks, added
/var/spool/postfix/hold, etc). I then started up MailScanner (service
MailScanner start) while tailing the log. All looked well, so I sent a
test email. Took a second or two longer than normal (expected), but it
showed up. I looked at the headers of the message I had just sent
expecting to see a line for my MailScanner / ClamAV / Spamassassin
setup, but saw nothing. Perplexed, I then sent a copy of mydoom as an
email attachment (surely, that would throw up some flags), but it was
delivered without a problem. I'm back to the MailScanner site now
trying to find what I've missed, but would welcome any gentle nudges in
the right direction from anyone out there that's already done it.
