MailScanner + MailWatch
for BlueQuartz Only To Purchase: Click here What is MailScanner?
MailScanner is an open source e-mail security system for use on Unix e-mail gateways,
first released in 2001. It protects against viruses and spam.
What is MailWatch?
MailWatch for MailScanner is a web-based front-end to MailScanner written in PHP, MySQL and JpGraph
Just to be clear on what MailWatch is NOT. It will not allow you to configure MailScanner!. It does allow you to do the following though:
Requirements
MailScanner v4.58.9 or higher
MySQL v4+ PHP v4.3.9+ Recommended: Spamassassin v3.1.8 or higher How do I set it up, after it is installed?
After install, you will see Mail Watch under the Network Services tab. When you click on it, it will run a setup wizard.
First will prompt you for your MySQL username and password. I recommend using the Root account. It will set up it's
own account with a 16 digit, alpha numeric password. The whole install is automated. After you enter in your login,
you should be prompted with a login box. The default username and password is: admin (lower case). Change this
right away!

Common Questions How do I add a user to monitor all mails for their domain??
Click on "Tools/Links"
Click on "User Management" Click on "New User" Enter in the requested information Under "User Type", make sure you select; Domain Administrator Click on "Create" Next to their name, you will see "Filters". Click on that In the text block, enter their E-Mail domain. i.e: nuonce.net Make sure that Active is still set to "Yes" Click on "Add" They will now be able to login with the credentials you provided! How come when I click logout, and then try to log back in, it fails, then when I click on "Mailwatch" (on the left side menu), I am logged right back in?
1 word: FRAMES
They suck! Close the browser to completely logoff when your done your session Why does my subject say "***SPAM(10)***", but the column for "SA Score" say 9
After working on it, it just seems that when Spamassassin is ran outside of Mailscanner it
just seems to work better. The score under "SA Score" seems to be Mailscanner processing it,
and the score under "Subject" is from Spamassassin alone
Why does Subject say "Spam", but status says "Clean"
Same reasoning above. Also, the hitcount for Mailscanner is set to '5', where as the hit count
for Spamassassin may be different. You can manually edit /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf to
make them match. Just make sure you restart sendmail when your done!
How do I release a message? / View Message?
First, the mail has to say "Spam" to be able to do it.
At the top, click on "Quarantine" Click on the "date" Click on the "[ ]" on the far left of the message you want to view Scroll to the bottom To view it, click on link under the Path To release it, click on check box under the word "Release" and click on Submit To delete it, click on check box under the word "Delete" and click on Submit Why is Message Content Protection always NO?
You can enable it manually, but it will just run Spamassassin again. Depending on how you
have Spamassassin installed, you may be running it 3 times per message. Unless you really
want to enable it, I recommend you do not. It will not be support should you have issues
How come when I click on a Quaratine Date, I see nothing?
Chances are it is a date before you installed this application. If not, try this
/usr/local/mailwatch/fix_quarantine_permissions Why can't I see the mail in my queue (both inbound & outbound)
Mailwatch only has support for 1 directory, which is the Quarantine Directory. That has
special persmissions to allow Mailwatch to access it. If you see an error like so:
Message ID 'l25LquC8027058' not found!, that is fine. This is not a bug.
