Re: Announcing OpenEFA – Continuing the Legacy of the eFa-Project

Agreed. Might have gotten a little bit ahead of myself. That being said, I have done a lot of work on the natural language processing and have integrated it into the efa. So, stay tuned. it is coming soon.

Re: Bad TXREP scores from Sophos infra

Personally not seeing it, but this might help. create a file in /etc/mail/spamassassin/ called sophos_whitelist.cf. The put the content below in the file. Run spamassassin --lint. If no output you are good to restart sparmassassin systemctl restart spamassassin.

Try adding this in your local.cf. I don't use the knowbe4 service, but believe this should essentially be what you are asking for.

Add to /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

Thanks for posting this.

I now have two eFa 5 servers running on one bayes database and I am synching the spamassassin/local.cf between the two. This makes customizing rules a breeze.

Re: Is EFA capable of Resending/Re-deliver/Replay emails?

In the version 4.x it is in /var/www/html/mailscanner/conf.php

Find the line:
// Define how many days of emails to keep.
define('RECORD_DAYS_TO_KEEP', 60);

Change the "60" to whatever retention days you need.

Removing the signatures and then running freshclam was the ticket. I also rebooted for good measure.
