blacklist and others not working

Well, it's up and running, but I'm not sure if it's doing what it should.

blacklist and others not working

Sun Jul 12, 2009 12:03 pm

i am using mwes with scalix 11.4 .... SO far, i have configured everything fine, the webconsole for mwes shows that email is passing through the filter, but it is not applying any rules...or filtering anything.. all the mails are marked as good email....

for example:
1. I blacklisted an email i.e. blacklist@hotmail.com
2. using that email, send and email to a valid user
3. mail process count increment by 1
4. email from a blaclisted email is delivered

I have checked the mwesd.db, and the mail is showing there in cleartext, so the system is storing this information.
any help will be appreciated!

Hi,

Which mwes version & MTA you are using with Scalix?
Is mwes stats showing mail processed but not catching SPAM?

We are also offering Free MWES installation support. Email has been sent to you.

Hi,

Scalix is passing emails to mwes being marked as coming from localhost. MWES will not process emails coming from localhost.

I can login to box if required for assistance.

Are you using trial account? Is it expired or valid?

Add following in /etc/mwes.conf and restart mwes.

use_is_routable=1

Enabling above option MWES will process all emails but RBL & Graylisting will not work because emails coming through localhost.

Can you configure Scalix to pass emails to sendmail with original IP's coming from?

Is there any error in mwes.log file?

thanks all for your reply..
Unfortunately, the client is a financial institution, and the remote access rules are very stringent.
will try that tip and see how it goes.
Also, i have o idea about how to make scalix pass the originating ip address information, but will see what i found on the forums or check with scalix support.
RBL checks are done by scalix right now...
