Topic: email gateway processing changed from 601?

[aaron]

I've have a couple 5.6 & 601 E-Smiths set up for backup MX services, ClamAV & SPAM filtering (thanks to Jesper K's great addons) and was planning on upgrading to the 712 with its built-in SPAM & AntiVirus.

The 5.6/601 machines have the qmail/control files set to store/scan/forward email to the downstream destination servers, it all been working great for years.

I've set up a 711->upgraded to 712 server and stuck that in front of the existing set of SME filtering servers for a test domain and it is resulting in no virus filtering, no SPAM filtering. That and almost zero message header  logging for audit/tracking purposes. SPAM and virus are being reported by the downstream machines but overlooked by the 712 host.

The qmail/control approach was used to accept the otherwise invalid domain traffic and to direct the output to various recipient servers. Do I need to forfeit that approach and use the Delegate Mail Server + Virtual Domains?

These servers have no users/ibays/domains and are purely relays.

Any enlightenment greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I'm using SME 6.0 as a webserver with a virtualdomain xyz.com having a remote mail server.

I've tried to delegate mail sever for the domain as
/sbin/e-smith/db domains setprop xyz.com DelegateMailServer remote.abc.com

Apart from that I've also expanded smtproute for this virtual domain as
#cat /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/qmail/control/smtproutes/15delegateMailServer
xyz.com:remote.abc.com

Even then I don't see any changes in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
xyz.com:alias-localdelivery

Conclusively, I'm still not able to send email from my webserver to that specific virtualdomain.

Can anyone help me on this issue. Please?

Regards,
Akhil

You may find more answers etc. if you posted in the SME 6.x forums rather than SME 7.x.....

I'm using SME 6.0..
I've tried to delegate mail sever for the domain as
/sbin/e-smith/db domains setprop xyz.com DelegateMailServer remote.abc.com

That functionality is in sme7.x, not 6.x

Virus and spam filtering are disabled by default in sme7.x, did you enable them ?

There are db commands in sme7.x that allow multiple domains to be delegated to different mail servers. Read the wiki carefully.
