qmail server problems, so damn close

chabam · 03-15-2007, 09:04 AM

Hi all, well, I've been trying to get a mail server for my home office working for the past 2 week, I may have tried all the flavors and finally got a qmail / vpopmail server up and running. When I tried to use the qmailscanner to filter spam BAM! It all went to hell, spent 3 days trying to make it work but couldn't, so I turned to simscan. Now I'm so close to finish this chore I can almost taste it, the thing is I can send mails, recieve, spam and AV filters are working great ... buuuut everytime I send an email (using squirrelmail / outlook / kmail / telnet) I get this message

Code:

simscan:[32545]:CLEAN (-1.10/5.00):0.1313s::(null):username@mydomain.com

It seems that simscan is telling me that the message was clean and didn't tag it as spam but every mail client considers this to be an error, or some kind of unexpected reply, mail is delivered to the recipient anyways, but It's a pain in the ass. Please can anyone help me? there's gotta be a way to make this work, googled this and nothing turned up, read every last FAQ and HOWTO on the net but seems to me I'm the only luser with this problem.

It's a Fedora Core 6 box, using qmail 1.03 with qmailqueue patch / courier-imap 4.0.2 / courier-authlib 0.55 / simscan 1.2 / spamassassin 3.0.2-1

Hi,

I have a full installation guide based on Suse10 and working.
it's based on the qmailrocks.org guide.

If you want/can switch to Suse I can send it to if you want.

I'm on the job training to setting up qmail for the MTA.
I use openSUSE 10.0 for the server.
So, would you please the instalation guide like you mention before.
Thank you.
