So I haven't been able to find where I can define efa's url other than in the initial setup. I'd like to be able to allow some of the domain users to see their Quarantine Report. Right now I have been getting the reports myself but the link in them is incorrect, and comes up like this:

http://efa/mailscanner//viewmail.php?id=xxxxxxx

it works if I change it in the browser to:
http://mail.mydomain.com/mailscanner//v ... id=xxxxxxx

It also gives the complaint: "MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "efa" claiming to be" which is another thing I'm trying to fix.

Use EFA-Configure to set your hostname...

Log into the console...

Choose option 4) IP Settings and make your changes to the hostname and the domain name.

Yes, just double checked that and they are properly set. That's why I'm confused.

If you logon to the console (ssh to the box and then option 1) what do you get when you run:
you should get back the full hostname of your server in both results.

Quarantine Report uses the hostname as defined by the system.

After running the above command, check /etc/sysconfig/network for a HOSTNAME=<myhostname> entry (no spaces and no <>). If there isn't one there, you need to add one. EFA-Configure assumes that one is already present (as there should be).

After doing this, either restart or run

ok so cat of the mailscanner.conf file returned 2 lines, the first line was the proper hostname, then 2nd line was just "efa"

I changed /etc/sysconfig/network as it was set HOSTNAME="efa"

This should fix it! I'll know when I get the next Quarantine report, thanks for the help!

Did you happen to run system-config-network at some point?

That is not something EFA would have put into /etc/sysconfig/network.

I don't remember, most likely I did. However, changing the hostname there didnt fix the link problem.

Code: Select all

cat /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf | grep -v "#"| grep "Hostname = " && hostname

you should get back the full hostname of your server in both results.

when I do this I get:

Hostname = <proper hostname of my server>
efa

I'm assuming the 2nd line "efa' is wrong

See the file /etc/sysconfig/network

it should state a line:
if your domain.com is missing there, add it and reboot

the correct info is in /etc/sysconfig/network

but when I type these commands:
[root@efa ~]# hostname
efa
[root@efa ~]# domainname
(none)


I found if I set the hostname with the hostname command, it changes to the corrent hostname, but eventually it will change it back to "efa" must be from some cronjob?

Lets see, the domain should be set on your system in the following locations:
Can you check these?

EFA-Config:DOMAINNAME:mydomain.com This is correct

hosts:x.x.x.x mail.mydomain mail This is correct

MailScanner/rules/sig.html.rules & sig.text.rules:
To: *@mydomain.com /etc/MailScanner/reports/en/inline.sig.in.html
To: *@mydomain.com /etc/MailScanner/reports/en/inline.sig.in.txt These are correct

MailScanner/MailScanner.conf:
Hostname = mail.mydomain.com This is correct



sysconfig/network:
HOSTNAME="mail.mydomain.com"
DOMAINNAME="mydomain.com" These are correct

I've set the hostname and domain name using the hostname and domainname commands, they seem to save correctly, then later on it eventually changes itself back to:

[root@efa ~]# hostname
efa
[root@efa ~]# domainname
(none)

Does this after a reboot or after a few hours, almost like there is a cron job or something changing it back to the incorrect values. At one point it almost worked when I got the report by having the hostname "mail" instead of "efa" but the next day changed back to "efa"

What's in your interface configuration? Any chance DNS is overriding your hostname?

There is no DNS server running locally on the efa machine, and these changes are happening locally so has nothing to do with DNS

Here is whats happening after reboot:
EFA-Config:DOMAINNAME:mydomain.com This stays correct

hosts file changes from:
x.x.x.x mail.mydomain.com mail
to:
x.x.x.x efa

MailScanner/rules/sig.html.rules & sig.text.rules:
To: *@mydomain.com /etc/MailScanner/reports/en/inline.sig.in.html
To: *@mydomain.com /etc/MailScanner/reports/en/inline.sig.in.txt
These stay correct


MailScanner/MailScanner.conf:
Hostname = mail.mydomain.com
This stays correct



sysconfig/network:
HOSTNAME="mail.mydomain.com"
changes to
HOSTNAME="efa"

DOMAINNAME="mydomain.com" This stays correct


Hostname shell command: this changes from mail.mydomain.com to efa
Domainname shell command: this changes from mydomain.com to (none)

Although you shouldn't be using dhcp....

See the following post.

I'm not using DHCP

Found the problem, the hostname was being changed by the VM server. Had to correct it there.
