I've pushed some fixes to the package.

I'm Still testing/checking clamav startup.

I've not bumped version yet, so just reinstall the package in 15 minutes.

Configure package from left to right. All default options are in (yes/no)

Do i need to install postfix?

Ivart

Yes. Install Postfix and then MailScanner, enable MailScanner in Antispam section of Postfix, Third part Antispam Settings.

I have 2 question about this package.

First of all i have installed it on a PFsense 2.1 appliance and it works perfectly, the mails flow without problem to a frakking Exchange 2007 Server.

how can i setup a whitelist and blacklist based on mail address, maybe with wildcards for example *@contoso.com ?

Does your postfix log errors stopped on Nov 16 or still alerting?

I'll check mailscanner user errors.

@m.mascheroni:

IIRC, just select send action on antispam tab.

@m.mascheroni:

it's on postfix log(/var/log/maillog).

m.mascheroni

Well, probably mailscanner was not active, i believe that change in Postfix Forwarder settings "Message Hold mode" from auto to manual acl and setting headers with /^from:/ HOLD did the trick.

Now all spam emails are tagged with [SPAM?] prefix or [Disarmed] prefix. Now it's perfect.

From previous posts on this thread i've found out that is better to set the log to /var/log/maillog, now it's easier to check postfix and mailscanner activity with a simple tail command.

Thank you for your time and for your precious work.

I still need to figure out how to setup a local whitelist.
