Allowing a blocked file type to just one user

In my situation I have blocked .doc and .docm files but allow .docx and it's been like this for years. Lately I have a user that is being sent a lot of legitimate .doc attachments and I'm having to chase them down and release them almost daily. I'm looking for a way to either allow .doc attachments ...

Re: Lots of BUG: soft lockup emails

What's weird is that the VM with the least amount of use is the only one doing this. This EFA VM had 37 emails through it yesterday and I got 10-12 of these lockup messages and the other two EFA VMs had 1936 and 765 emails through them yesterday with none of these messages ever.

Lots of BUG: soft lockup emails

I have a Dell R730 that runs ESXi 6.7 and has only three EFA 4 virtual machines on it. They each handle email for different domains. I keep getting emails with the subject "[abrt] kernel: NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 24s! [kswapd0:36]" from just one of the instances, ne...

Re: Send notification to admin that an incoming attachememt was blocked

Is there a way to get these notification emails for blocked files but not for viruses? I'm getting what I wanted as far as being notified a .doc or .zip has been blocked but I'm getting a bunch of virus warning emails due to porcupine.junk and would like to not get those.

Send notification to admin that an incoming attachememt was blocked

Is there a way to have an email alert go to admin when there is a file type blocked? We block certain file types like .doc, .zip, using the /etc/mailscanner/filename.rules.conf method and no one has any idea a blocked file has been sent to them until they find out from the external sender that they ...

How does SA Learn actually work?

I've been a long time user of EFA but recently I've been more curious about what submitting the drop down for SA Learn as HAM or SPAM actually does on the back end. I've read that you want to give it a good sample of HAM as well as SPAM to help it learn for your environment but is that all something...

How to restart MailScanner service in EFA4?

I sometimes modify the blocked attachments list and had these instructions saved for EFA3. I just rebuilt using EFA4 and the sudo service MailScanner restart doesn't work. I modified the filename.rules.conf and then restarted the whole OS and my list works but I'd like to be able to make the changes...

Re: How to change the SMTP delivery port from 25 to 26

I fixed it! It is done there in the /etc/postfix/transport file but the syntax is for the :26 to be outside the brakets. So instead of: # START E.F.A ADDED DOMAINS ###### mydomain.net smtp:[mailserver.mydomain.net:26] It's supposed to be: # START E.F.A ADDED DOMAINS ###### mydomain.net smtp:[mailser...

Re: How to change the SMTP delivery port from 25 to 26

I also edited the /etc/postfix/transport file to have the IP address instead of fqdn like this: # START E.F.A ADDED DOMAINS ###### mydomain.net smtp:[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:26] but it still doesn't work. And I'm finding this in the logs: postfix/smtp[12848]: fatal: valid hostname or network address require...

Re: How to change the SMTP delivery port from 25 to 26

I didn't do those two commands at first but I just did and tried again and still getting a status of (unknown mail transport error) here is the entry at the end of the /etc/postfix/transport file, is this correct? # START E.F.A ADDED DOMAINS ###### mydomain.net smtp:[mailserver.mydomain.net:26] If I...

How to change the SMTP delivery port from 25 to 26

My Exchange server is behind a home account that blocks port 25. I also used to run EFA behind that same router and used a service called GhettoSMTP to send all my incoming mail to port 26 and then I used a Cisco router nat statement to map incoming port 26 to internal port 25 of the EFA server. So ...
