I'll try to make this short and simple. Questions can be asked accordingly if you're sincere about assisting me with my problem.
We've had a considerable amount of spam and viruses getting through our Symantec-guarded Exchange server here at the office.
I was asked to find a more efficient solution for blocking spam and virii. It appears to me that a mail toaster seems to be the best option.
My BSD knowledge and usage is between beginner and intermediate.
I have BSD 5.4. Have installed everything step-by-step according to the mail-toaster walk-through with the exception of the qmail scanner. Reason being, it was trying to pull a file from an unknown source and I couldn't find in the script where to go to change the location where it was pulling from. I am using simscan, if it's relevant.
Everything tests fine, except when trying to send a test email locally. Only once have I had success as far as the headers showing a successful scan and push. All other headers before and after this particular email showed as being basic headers.
Just prior to it's success, I did the following and rebooted :
tcprules /usr/local/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /usr/local/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /usr/local/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp
[13:33]
chmod 644 /usr/local/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp*
After running that and rebooting, it worked.
I proceeded to modify my smtproutes and rctphosts files, adding the appropriate domain and routing information. After I rebooted, it has yet to scan an email appropriately. Even after restoring the smtproutes and rcpthosts files to their condition when it worked and rebooting, it still did not work/scan properly.
I hope this gives anyone interested in helping an idea where I stand, what I've done, and what help I need or what questions I need answered to make this functional. Any help that's deemed helpful will be GREATLY appreciated. Please feel free to send me a Private Message or post here with insight. Either way, I will be checking this often as I try to figure out for myself what is going on.
Thank you!
Okay...
I do believe that I got it sorted out.
