Some Mails get listed under quarantine but are marked as clean 3.0.0.9
Some Mails get listed under quarantine but are marked as clean 3.0.0.9
Hi,
we have the appliance 3.0.0.9 running.
And all works fine.
But we see some clean messages in the Quarantine the mails are delivered and marked as no spam.
Is this a bug in the new Version 3.0.0.9?
The mails with clean mark are in
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20160322/
And the spam mails are in
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20160322/spam
Is this a new feature which does not work ?

Re: Some Mails get listed under quarantine but are marked as clean 3.0.0.9
you'll need to provide some details if there is to be any chance of diagnosing your problem
is there any pattern to the messages that are quarentined?
how about the message headers? can you show us any message headers?
what about the log files? Do the log files show any information about the messages that were quarantined?

Re: Some Mails get listed under quarantine but are marked as clean 3.0.0.9
The mails which are clean are stored in
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/DATE/
as folders..
And the Spam marked are stored in
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/DATE/spam
there is another folder
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/DATE/nonspam
after reconfigure with EFA-Configure
9 spam settings
1 non spam settings
Do you want to DISABLE storing non spam ? y
the nonspam is not filed but the non spams get in the folder
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/DATE/
Some Logs tell me
Content Checks: Detected and have disarmed phishing tags in HTML message in
/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/DATE/
as folders..

Re: Some Mails get listed under quarantine but are marked as clean 3.0.0.9
Ok,
So if I follow you, if I turn off storing of non-spam, it is landing in quarantine anyway above the nonspam directory?
I'm running some tests now...

Re: Some Mails get listed under quarantine but are marked as clean 3.0.0.9
So far, this isn't happening on my systems...I'll keep watching.
Also, what are the directory permissions on your DATE directories?
They should be rwxrwx--- (770)
Owner/group:
postfix:apache

Re: Some Mails get listed under quarantine but are marked as clean 3.0.0.9
Is it possible that this occurs only for mails which are disarmed?
Because the normal mails aren't in the quarantine.
But in the log i see the content check messaged
Detected and have disarmed phishing tags
Detected and have disarmed web bug
only this one are stored after disabling store non spam
the permissions are correct like you said above.

Still unable to reproduce...
Can you share one of those emails (complete source with header) with me in a pastebin?
I would like to run it through my system.

Re: Some Mails get listed under quarantine but are marked as clean 3.0.0.9
Since I cannot reproduce the issue, and you cannot share the contents of those files, I am afraid our options for troubleshooting here are limited...
Re: Some Mails get listed under quarantine but are marked as clean 3.0.0.9
How can we Exchange the file?
I will try to find a not Critical mail.

/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine still looks normal.
So, that means my 3.0.0.9 is somehow different from yours, and I suspect that MailScanner is having trouble cleaning up after itself on your system for some reason when it disarms phishing tags.
Are you using a system updated from 3.0.0.8, or are you using the downloadable 3.0.0.9 VMware or HyperV build?

Re: Some Mails get listed under quarantine but are marked as clean 3.0.0.9
We are using a System Updatet from 3.0.0.8 to 3.0.0.9.
We have set this up with 3.0.0.8 and Upgraded when the new version was released.

Re: Some Mails get listed under quarantine but are marked as clean 3.0.0.9
Ok. Let's compare some notes...
I am assuming MailScanner has not changed on your system. I am curious how your MailScanner config may differ from mine...
Here's a dump of my /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf for comparison (with sensitive parts removed):
http://pastebin.com/wq3SJpvw
Please review and let me know anything that might be different (and hopefully significant) to this problem.

Do you have this on, by chance?
When I turn this on, I get the exact problem you are having.

Disable it, then, and you should be good.
