      check if you can find /^from:/ HOLD  on view configuration -> header check

      If not, change mailscanner Message Hold mode on antispam tab to manual and include the above line on access lists -> header

          I have a question (can be a bit stupid!). Can MailScanner + Postfix run in transparent mode?.
          The reason is I have a pfsense box with 4 interfaces + 01 mail server stand alone. I want to run pfsense without intervention on the mail server.

            Well, I did no transparent mode on this package but if you know how to do it on postfix I can merge this on next release.

                  I noticed a 'strange' thing, incoming attachments files become zipped, cool feature, but who is the author of this ?

                    It`s a mailscanner feature but you can disable it on gui(I'm not in front of one right now to point the option  ;)).

                        Hi all,

                        I've installed mailscanner + spamassassin + clamav package and I cannot get spamassassin working…

                        Clamav works great (tested with eicar file) but the GTUBE test for spamassassin fails : spam is not detected, score is 0, and message is delivered.
                        I've made the test from inside and outside the local network. Both fails.

                        Can you help me to solve that ?

                        Thanks

                          I've found the solution myself :
                          just run sa-update to download spamassassin's rules.

                          :)

                            Another newbie question…
                            How can I change the default value in Mailscanner?
                            Double Click or change in .conf file?

                            Thanks in advance!

                              Use ctrl+click to check/uncheck options on mailscanner conf

                              The default value on () means what is default on mailscanner. If you want a default setup, then ctrl+click all options that has a (yes) on description.

                                  It appears that the libiconv-1.13.1_1.tbz file has vanished from the http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/8/All/ site for the i386 mailscanner-dev install.

                                  The installer then attempts to locate it at the http://ftp2.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/All/ URL, which doesn't exist.

                                  Thus the install is aborted.  Any hints on how to resolve this?

                                    I've pushed the missing file.

                                    Try to reinstall it.

                                      No luck.  Install halted at the same spot.  Checked the http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/8/All/ URL and the file still isn't listed.

                                        Try again.

                                        Since I finish the force perl version issue of this package, files will be available at official repo.

                                        att,

                                          Package re-installed, but now has the following issue:

                                          Any ideas?

                                          This was working perfectly (and had been for weeks and without any changes) until yesterday.

                                            This package had no changes on last months but I'll check.
