You would do well to post this question on the MailScanner list as the
audience is all MailScanner users and have probably seen this problem
before.

Subject: [CentOS] MailScanner SPAM Forward & Postfix Problem
First, thanks to the CentOS folks for creating such as awesome distro!
Second, thanks to all for contributing to such an great mailling list!
I installed MailScanner/SpamAssassin/ClamAV last week based on the excellent
threads that have recently discussed the subject. For folks who missed it,
I used Johnny's wonderful guide at
http://www.hughesjr.com/content/category/1/14/30/Guides (see Part 4).
I'm using CentOS 3.4. On the MTA side, I am using Postfix with a virtual
alias table. I want to have MailScanner use the "forward"
"Spam Actions" option to put all spam in a central email account (it's a
local account on the same server). I can email to this central spam account
no problem (both locally and from outside accounts such as gmail). The
"Spam Actions = forward blah at blah.com" works if blah at blah.com is an account
on a separate system (such as this account
on gmail). However, no matter what I do, I cannot make it work with
a local account -- I always get the following postfix error in
/var/log/maillog:
..., status=bounced (user unknown in virtual alias table).
I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that I'm using a virtual
alias table, but I don't want to get rid of that (even for testing purposes)
because it's obviously being used for live email.
:-)
I know this might be more of a Postfix or MailScanner question, but I
thought I would start here.
Many thanks for any assistance!
Kennedy
