Sounds strange. I get the majority of my spam sent to my backup MX, but my primary server running SA weeds it out just fine.
Are you sure you don't have a SA trusted_networks configured for the IP of mx3? -Don -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Toby Reiter Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 10:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [xmail] Filters off of Secondary MX? All, We have three XMail servers running in our office. One primary on Linux, one secondary on Linux, and a tertiary server on a Windows NT box. Let's call them mx1, mx2, and mx3. Both Linux boxes have functional SpamAssassin filters running. The NT box doesn't (and I'm not really all that interested in getting SA set up on Windows, since that box is hardly ever used). Both backup mx servers have custom domain processing to smtp-relay messages to the primary mx. Here's the problem: spammers frequently send messages to the mx3 server, which then gets relayed to mx1. For some reason, email sent from mx3 to mx1 is not being filtered by SA (normally blocked spam gets through, and headers remain unchanged). Just to be clear -- SpamAssassin works great on my system, no hitches other than this one. What is weird is that my antivirus filter does get triggered. This is not sporadic behavior -- SA never triggers for mail from mx3. Can anyone think of why this may be happening?
