Topic: Spam from Local

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version: 0.9.0
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): LDAP
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Related log if you're reporting an issue:
====

Possibly a coincidence, but since upgrading to 0.9.0 I have been inundated with emails "SPAM FROM LOCAL", that are spams that are spoofed from our domain but are not from our mailserver.

I am getting over a thousand a day and it is driving me a little crazy.  If the emails were from our mailserver then I'd be really interested, but as far as I can tell these didn't originate locally.

I suspect I can disable somehow in Amavis, but before I blindly do this I wanted to run this past the forum - is anyone else suffering the same, is it a misconfiguration somewhere?

Thank you,

Chris.

Re: Spam from Local

    # notify administrator of locally originating malware
    # virus_admin_maps => ["root\@$mydomain"],
    virus_admin_maps => [ undef ],
    # spam_admin_maps  => ["root\@$mydomain"],
    spam_admin_maps  => [ undef ],

Okay I have replaced the root email with undef, which will hopefully quieten it down a bit, does that make sense?

Thanks,
Chris

Re: Spam from Local

Use 'undef' (without quotes), not '[ undef ]'.

Thanks, I am bit of a perl nut so thankfully hadn't fallen into that trap!

I also started to be inundated with BANNED content attachments, don't know why today suddenly all hell decided to break loose in my inbox. Anyhow I tried:

$banned_admin = undef

As suggested elsewhere on this forum, but that didn't seem to work. In desperation I set:

$virus_admin = undef

I've had none since, so I am hopeful that my inbox is now under control again.

Thanks,
Chris.
