We use EFA as an inbound mail filter, so I am not familiar with it's configuration as a smarthost. That said we have used smarthosts before.
Have you configured EFA to relay email for your authorized domain. By default EFA processes email only for authorized domains.

Re: Milter Outbound messages
Thanks for the update Shawn. I am reasonably sure this has to do with restarting services. I have been performing this restart of the services for many years, since we first started with EFA, and dont recall ever having this problem in the past. I have 3 EFA boxes and I configured 1x to only restart...

Re: Missing email
I did find the email in question in the Milter Outbound queue and I have created a separate thread for that.
I would like to know if I should still be concerned about the error message "database disk image is malformed"
Thanks,
Todd

Hello, EFA seems to be running fine for the most part. The bulk of emails are processed and delivered normally.

Re: Disable SPF check for outbound mail
I know this does not solve your problem, but I a curious. You want to essentially block incoming emails based on SPF. But then you want to omit other email servers from validating your SPF? SPF is designed to protect you from forging. You should be enforcing SPF, DKIM and DMARC. Not trying to reduce...

Re: Fail2Ban config in EFA v4
Thanks Shawn.
There is nothing else that needs to be configured? Just enable in EFA-Configure and it does the rest.

Re: messages with KAM_DRIVENUM 5.0 qurantined
We are getting a number of valid emails tagged by KAM as spam. The developer is very aggressive. KAM adds weight simply for not having SPF or DKIM records. They also add for having numbers in the subject, and having long URLs in the body(something many emailers do, including Nextdoor). Here is an ex...

We do not expose Webmin publicly. It is used only inside the network for system management.
Maybe add a Warning when the package is installed?

Re: EFA4 DNS config problem
No firewall between the EFA boxes and Our DNS. They are on the same subnet.
There is a firewall between the EFA boxes and the External DNS.
We checked logs our DNS servers and no errors for requests being rejected for the EFA4 boxes.

Re: EFA4 DNS config problem
I will turn on Recursion again and post the results.
Recursion was originally on default with no DNS Primary/Secondary servers defined and mails were not passing. But it was generating a different error than with it off as I recall.
