Release quaratined mail using mailwatch gui

From what I can find on the web there should be an option to release quarantined mail in MailScanner using the MailWatch gui but I can't find it.

 

Did you follow The Perfect SpamSnake guide? If so, then you should have the function on the MailWatch gui.

Do the following:

1. Open the MailWatch gui.
2. Under the Recent Messages or in the Quarantine Messages Tab, you should see [ ] before each message.
3. Click on that and it take you into the message.
4. At the very bottom of the page, you'll see the checkbox for the Release function.

 

yes you should be able to, the option is not shown if mailwatch can not read the quarantine directories try setting this option in conf.php

Code:

define(QUARANTINE_USE_FLAG, true);

 

There is no check box but I've had a look in detail.php and I can see the option. I guess it's being left out due to an if statement. I'll work through the script and see what I can find.

Thanks

<edit>

define(QUARANTINE_USE_FLAG, true); is set and I have user: root, group: www-data, rwxrwx--- on /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine and all sub directories. It does actually list the quarantined files and I can view each one. I just don't have the option to release them but will work through the detail.php script

 

Try the following:

Code:

chown -R postfix:www-data /var/spool/MailScanner

If the above works, then you're good to go. If not, make sure the following settings are correct in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf:

Code:

Quarantine User = root 
Quarantine Group = www-data 
Quarantine Permissions = 0660 
Quarantine Whole Message = yes 
Always Looked Up Last = &MailWatchLogging

 

Tried that and no difference. I can see where it's failing in the details.php and am just tracking it through.

 

Sorted. Was a permission problem after all. I was sure I had doubled checked them.

Thanks guys.

I need help

hello all,

I was with the same problem. The release button doesn't appear.

After fix the permissions, it appear to me.

So, when I select the "e-mail message" in the end of the page and I click to release, don´t show the following message:

"Message release to [email protected]"

and off-course, the message doesn't delivered.

This message appear in the mailwatch of my company, so I know that is the correct and should work.

anyone knows how can I fix this?

Thanks

Diego

 

Does the message show in the message queue after being released? Make sure 127.0.0.1 is set as a whitelist item so that anything that is released does not get processed again.

 

one more doubt

rocky, thanks for your help. I will check this..

But, one weird thing is that don´t appear the link to open the message in the end of the page.

I want to say that is possible to enter in the message to read the message, see the attachs and the body of the message, and release the message by this way.. in this case, the release are in top of the page, right?

but to do all of this, I must to have a link to enter in the message. this link is near of release button in the first windows... in the end of page, right?

So, I haven´t the link to click and open the message to read the body.. It´s so weird.. because of this, I guess that I have one more problem..

I can post a image with this when I go home...
