    You probably need to change the mydomain setting in your amavisd configuration.

    This should fix it, edit /etc/MailScanner/rules/scan.messages.rules and add this at the top.

    Code:
    From:   172.19.xx.xx  no
    Restart mailscanner.

    172.19.xx.xx has to be the ip address of your exchange server, Mail coming from that address will not be scanned on the way out.

    cool perfect, will try so.

    but if outgoing mails are not scanned anymore, will bayes still learn from this mail and will they still be whitelisted or are all modules not scanning this mails ?

    There is many ways to do this, if you want the mail to be scanned you can do that by set your spam actions to deliver even if it is marked as spam but then it means the mail could be rejected upstream.

    Have you tried investigating which rules are being matched by your exchange submitted emails ?

    Yes, the DCC-Check and PRYZOR Check made to most points when sending mails from the exchange.


    all my rules are on deliver, we just modify the subject, but don't delete any mails...

    IN that case then u are actually sending out spam as DCC an pyzor are signature based checks.

    i red that pyzor is also doing checks, how long a mail is etc.

    the server is not sending spam, because it's not in production.

    also, that's an internal ip address, i don't think that's listed somewhere :)

    Listing and signature checks are two different things, DCC and pyzor work by calculating a value based on the contents of an email and comparing it against a know database of values.

    ok

    if i typ a mail with 2 lines like

    "hey guys, how are you. greets."

    than it's tagged as spam by dcc and pyzor

    if i type a long mail, it's not tagged by them...


    last question: if i make the trick with /etc/MailScanner/rules/scan.messages.rules and disable scannign for my exchange, will bayes and autowhitelist keep learning?
