using the directions from the url below, i configured postfix to filter mail with anomy sanitizer and spam assassin (following the link from spamassassin.org)
http://advosys.ca/papers/postfix-filtering.html i set everything up with the machines normal hostname (dastardly.laits.utexas.edu), and it all works just fine for mail being sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] however, this machine has a second, virtual interface named mail, and when i send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it bounces around a few times, then gets returned to the send with the message: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (reason: 554 5.4.6 Too many hops) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 554 5.4.6 Too many hops 26 (25 max): from [EMAIL PROTECTED] via localhost, to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reporting-MTA: dns; dastardly.laits.utexas.edu Arrival-Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2004 12:05:35 -0500 Final-Recipient: RFC822; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Action: failed Status: 5.4.6 Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 554 5.4.6 Too many hops Last-Attempt-Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2004 12:05:35 -0500 can anyone think of anything that would cause this? i've gone through the regular documentation for configuring both spam assassin and anomy, and neither one seems to have any sort of directive for specifying hostnames that it's filtering for. postfix itself is configured to receive mail at either name, and with the filtering disabled, will do so. for what it's worth, i've also tried getting spamassassin working w/ postfix w/o anomy using the instructions here: http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/postfix+spamassassin+razor.txt however i still get the same result. mail to @dastardly works, but mail to @mail won't. is there something wrong with the filtering scripts? is there something in one of the perl modules spam assassin or anomy utilizes that checks the hostname? have i missed something in the filter documentation for postfix? -- jacob walcik [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
