I don't see any errors in your mail log. What's in /etc/postfix/transport? Did you run Code: postmap /etc/postfix/transport /etc/init.d/postfix restart after modifying that file?
yes I run it everytime I modify the transport, relay_recipients, and relay_domains... in transport file; # TRANSPORT(5) abathroomguide.com smtp:[lancelot.warmlyyours.com] warmlyyours.com smtp:[lancelot.warmlyyours.com] # # NAME # transport - Postfix transport table format # . . . only thing I changed is ..in /etc/MailScanner/mailscanner-mrtg.conf, it didnt accept "MailScanner Work Directory = /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming" ( it says Unable to find a mountpoint for /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming. Please set MailScanner Work Directory in mailscanner-mrtg.conf to a valid mountpoint. You can see a list of mointpoints on your system by using the df command ) so I chanced as a "MailScanner Work Directory = / " also I dont use snmp because it was optional.. in the firewall do I need to make any more configuration other than opening smtp port? Also in /opt/MailScanner/etc/MailScanner.conf; Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix/hold Incoming Work Dir = /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming but in /etc/MailScanner/mailscanner-mrtg.conf; Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix/hold/ MailScanner Work Directory = / should I make work directories the same in both configuration??? thx in advance..
hey Falko, actually I found the reason why it doesnt relay the emails.. from vi /etc/postfix/header_checks I removed /^Received:/ HOLD it relays now but this time I think it is not gonna scan it because it first hold it..scan..then sent it.. do you think my sender restrictions rules still apply?
Well, I have the same problem (ubuntu 6.06 installation with postfix & mailscanner). MailScanner runs and in /var/log/mail.info I have the same output (every 4-5 seconds same things) and NO mail delivered. All my emails are still in /var/spool/postfix/hold . As soon I stop header_checks (either removed HOLD from header_checks either comment it out in main.cf ) all mails are delivered just fine. So, what is the problem with MailScanner and Postfix. I'm not a big fan of amavis and I wish to change it.
No problems in logs. I found the problem and fixed it (sort of). It was caused by mailscanner version and some incompatibility with postfix. I used the debug mode in mailscanner and then fixed the problem by using Postfix.pm from latest version of mailscanner. Now the system works just fine.
