minor issue in default MailScanner.conf - "Notify Senders = no" multiple times

Post by twoeyes »

I'm reading through MailScanner.conf, reviewing whatever custom settings we had on our ESVA setup, and noticed in the " Notifications back to the senders of blocked messages" section, there were multiple "Notify Senders = " lines. The ESVA config file I am comparing against, has different options, e.g. "Notify Senders Of Viruses = no". It looks like a search and replace typo or similar.

It's a minor thing, and doesn't affect our install. Not sure about other people.

Thanks for giving ESVA users something current to use!

Hmm I just checked but all my systems look fine.

When you deployed the VM, from which version did you started (3.0.0.8 ?) and did you use the VMware or the Hyper-V version?
Maybe there is a bug in one of the versions but I have not found it yet :)

Ah found it.

the build from 3.0.0.8 had a search and replace typo..

Can you post the complete "Notifications back to the senders of blocked messages" section that you now see?

The section should be like below,all sections that have "Notify Senders " are messed up in your setup I guess.

Code: Select all

#
# Notifications back to the senders of blocked messages
# -----------------------------------------------------
#

# Do you want to notify the people who sent you messages containing
# viruses or badly-named filenames?
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Notify Senders = no

# *If* "Notify Senders" is set to yes, do you want to notify people
# who sent you messages containing viruses?
# The default value has been changed to "no" as most viruses now fake
# sender addresses and therefore should be on the "Silent Viruses" list.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Notify Senders Of Viruses = no

# *If* "Notify Senders" is set to yes, do you want to notify people
# who sent you messages containing attachments that are blocked due to
# their filename or file contents?
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Notify Senders Of Blocked Filenames Or Filetypes = yes

# *If* "Notify Senders" is set to yes, do you want to notify people
# who sent you messages containing attachments that are blocked due to
# being too small or too large?
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Notify Senders Of Blocked Size Attachments = no

# *If* "Notify Senders" is set to yes, do you want to notify people
# who sent you messages containing other blocked content, such as
# partial messages or messages with external bodies?
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Notify Senders Of Other Blocked Content = yes

# If you supply a space-separated list of message "precedence" settings,
# then senders of those messages will not be warned about anything you
# rejected. This is particularly suitable for mailing lists, so that any
# MailScanner responses do not get sent to the entire list.
Never Notify Senders Of Precedence = list bulk

Oops. Guess I wasn't subscribed to get replies to the thread.

We're running in Xen actually, so, I used the magical build script. I've never used something like that before, I was pretty impressed.

Basically all those lines said: "Notify Senders = no"

Here's most of it... I skipped the first few lines that I customized already:

Code: Select all

# *If* "Notify Senders" is set to yes, do you want to notify people
# who sent you messages containing viruses?
# The default value has been changed to "no" as most viruses now fake
# sender addresses and therefore should be on the "Silent Viruses" list.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Notify Senders = no

# *If* "Notify Senders" is set to yes, do you want to notify people
# who sent you messages containing attachments that are blocked due to
# their filename or file contents?
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Notify Senders = no

# *If* "Notify Senders" is set to yes, do you want to notify people
# who sent you messages containing attachments that are blocked due to
# being too small or too large?
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Notify Senders = no

# *If* "Notify Senders" is set to yes, do you want to notify people
# who sent you messages containing other blocked content, such as
# partial messages or messages with external bodies?
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Notify Senders = no

# If you supply a space-separated list of message "precedence" settings,
# then senders of those messages will not be warned about anything you
# rejected. This is particularly suitable for mailing lists, so that any
# MailScanner responses do not get sent to the entire list.

Will try to fix this in the next release, for a quick fix you can copy / paste in my section above that is how it should be.
