EFA is spamming me

[colin]

Each time I receive a spam into EFA, it is mailing me to inform me that I have spam. How can I stop this?

[shawniverson]

ssh into your EFA as your user you set up initially (not root) and run Spam Settings Option 9 then Option 2

(/usr/local/sbin/EFA-Configure should run automatically upon login, if not, run this script with sudo)

Code: Select all

sudo /usr/local/sbin/EFA-Configure

Thanks. Having run through that config, it makes sense. Will have to wait for spam to come in before I know if it has fixed it, but I am hopeful.

OK we are mostly there now as I am no longer getting the spam messages. I still however get notification email when attachments are blocked or when viruses are removed.

Basically what I am trying to achieve is a system where the recipient is not getting any kind of notification. They can see all they need to by looking at the EFA console and by quarantine reports.

I can see the equivalent entries for the senders but not recipients. eg.:
Notify Senders = yes
Notify Senders Of Viruses = no
Notify Senders Of Blocked Filenames Or Filetypes = yes
Notify Senders Of Blocked Size Attachments = no
Notify Senders Of Other Blocked Content = yes

Is this possible?

For recipients, you may be able to disable all notifications by removing the report definitions. Note that I have not tried this. Back up your config before emptying these entries.

Code: Select all

Rejection Report = %report-dir%/rejection.report.txt

# Set where to find the message text sent to users when one of their
# attachments has been deleted from a message.
# These can also be the filenames of rulesets.
Deleted Bad Content Message Report  = %report-dir%/deleted.content.message.txt
Deleted Bad Filename Message Report = %report-dir%/deleted.filename.message.txt
Deleted Virus Message Report        = %report-dir%/deleted.virus.message.txt
Deleted Size Message Report        = %report-dir%/deleted.size.message.txt

# Set where to find the message text sent to users when one of their
# attachments has been deleted from a message and stored in the quarantine.
# These can also be the filenames of rulesets.
Stored Bad Content Message Report  = %report-dir%/stored.content.message.txt
Stored Bad Filename Message Report = %report-dir%/stored.filename.message.txt
Stored Virus Message Report        = %report-dir%/stored.virus.message.txt
Stored Size Message Report        = %report-dir%/stored.size.message.txt

# Set where to find the message text sent to users explaining about the
# attached disinfected documents.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Disinfected Report = %report-dir%/disinfected.report.txt

Thanks for the suggestion. However I have achieved this by setting "Deliver Cleaned Messages = no"

[shawniverson]

Ahh, I misunderstood. I see what you mean now.

[milauria]

Can you tell me where have you been able to modify this setting?

"Deliver Cleaned Messages = no"

I am also trying to achieve this same behaviour of MailScanner notifications when spam
