I am running qmail with qmail-scanner, with tcpserver listening on the smtp port, on a Redhat 7.1 system. i'm using antivir as the antivirus software. I've been doing this successfully for a couple months. The machine it's running on is allowed to accept mail from the world, but not to send mail directly out to the world.
Things worked fine ntil yesterday. Yesterday, I added the following entry in my /var/qmail/control/smtproutes: :xxx.reeusda.gov This entry was added because xxx is a machine that is allowed to process outbound mail. The following problem started. When a local machine wants to send an outbound mail, and connects to my qmail server, the antivirus header gets screwed up in the following manner: .... <antivirus header> ... registered user: Mcihael Martinez, Washington, DC ... hbdev: sFrom: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^^^^ You can see, that the "s" in front of the "From" is part of the header, which is lopped off and appended in front of the From. The rest of the header appears in the body of the email, as follows: lnumber ... <rest of virus header> Okay. The email actually makes it to the intended recipient. But since the header is messed up the recipient's email reader does not recognize the sender (thinks it's "none" or "UnknownSender") and as I said above half the mail header appears in the body of the email. Now, this problem occurs only in the case of outbound relayed mail that has to pass through the "xxx.reeusda.gov" entry in the smtproutes. It does not occur with locally delivered mail, or with mail that is forwarded to the other entries in "smtproutes" which contain forwarding rules for those domains listed in my "/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts" and "locals." i hope I've been able to explain this well. Anybody got a clue?
