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.

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 _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
