Re: [Opencomputing-openprotect] postfix quarantined files

[S Karthikeyan]

Dear Wayne Dunne, Hi, How do I release a spam message stored in the quarantine using postfix? I have googled and looked on MailScanner site + Mailscanner archives and none of the answers seem to work.... You can queue all the mails in their queue format itself, by 1)Setting "Quarantine Whole Messages As Queue Files = yes"  and "Quarantine Whole Message = yes" in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf, 2)Restart OpenProtect "openprotect restart" and you'll have quarantined mails as postfix queue files in /var/spool/MailScanner directory. Then, if you need that mail again, you can re-inject the mail into the queue using the commands: 1)chown postfix:postfix full_path_to_queue_file 2)chmod +x full_path_to_queue_file 3)cp full_path_to_queue_file /var/spool/postfix/incoming/x/, if the queue file name starts with x. So, if the queue file name is E885B11640A, then the destination directory is "/var/spool/postfix/incoming/x/E885B11640A,". Now, the quarantine mail will be delivered as if its not scanned by OpenProtect. Hope that helps. cheers, Karthikeyan, S. -- S.Karthikeyan | Ph: +91 (0) 44 52166646 Fax: +91 (0) 44 52079957 Opencomputing Technologies | http://opencompt.com Server Side E-Mail Protection.
