      There is a post from Jimp saying that there is problem on replication to production server.

      The solution is just wait.  :(

              Hi Andrew,

              Can you try to browse this folder http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/8/All/

              I just reinstalled the package to test and it worked.

                      I've tried access this url from many random web proxies and all listed site content.

                      can you try changing you dns server to 8.8.8.8 (google)?

                                The host is in Brazil, maybe you applied deny both on top spammers list.

                                  Tring to put an exception for your site above the pfblock list - otherwise I might have to be less harsh on what is blocked!

                                  The package now seems to be installed OK - time to start tuning!

                                    There are good guys on Brazil too  ;)

                                    You can change pfBlocker top spammers action to alias online and then block access only to port 25.

                                      After a bit of playing it appears that everything is working - I say appears because whilst known good messages get passed and deliberate bad messages do not appear, I seem unable to get any report/log/message about what mailscanner is actually doing. What is it rejecting beyond my known, deliberately introduced spam.  Looked at a few guides to mailscanner and finished up confused.

                                      Is there a simple(!) "how to get activity reports out of mailscanner"

                                      Thanks

                                      Andrew

                                        It's quite simple

                                        If you have selected on general tab

                                        • log destination = /var/log/maillog

                                        • update frequency = every Xminutes

                                        Simple go to diagnostics -> search mail

                                        Select:

                                        • log type = QUEUE

                                        • iCTRL+CLICK Status info on Message fields

                                        • select sqlite file(s) to search

                                        • and press search

                                          Thanks, but what I was after is why things are rejected and potentially review rejected/quarantined items for subsequent approval (or have I missed something in my setup?)

                                            On this current version, you are able only to see amount of messages on quarantine.

                                            status -> postfix queue

                                            the mailscanner package use native sqlite2 databases while mailscanner use sqlite3 to store quarantine data.

                                            There is a way to enable sqlite3 on mailscanner, but I'll need to rewrite a lot to update it to sqlite3 only.

                                            Maybe next version I include a tab for quarantine.

                                            Today I use only reject, attach or subject action for spam on my system.

                                            If you really need this, you can make a donation to mailscanner package so I can write it for you.
