Why are messages quarantined again when I release them in MailWatch?

This is because you need to bypass certain checks for messages from 127.0.0.1 to allow the released messages to pass through MailScanner without being quarantined again.

Set the following in /etc/Mailscanner/Mailscanner.conf:

1. MailScanner.conf

nano /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf

Filename Rules = %etc-dir%/filename.rules

#changed from %etc-dir%/filename.rules.conf

Filetype Rules = %etc-dir%/filetype.rules

#changed from %etc-dir%/filetype.rules.conf

Dangerous Content Scanning = %rules-dir%/content.scanning.rules

Is Definitely Not Spam = %rules-dir%/spam.whitelist.rules

// In my case I left the whitelist line unchanged to continue using SQL whitelisting.

 2. File Name Rules

Then the following files should be set-up as follows:

Maksure all gaps are TABs not spaces!

nano /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules OR /bin/cat << EOF >> /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules

#

# Allow Quarantine releases

#

From: 127.0.0.1 /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.allowall.conf

FromOrTo: default /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf

EOF

 3. File type Rules

nano /etc/MailScanner/filetype.rules

OR

/bin/cat << EOF >>

#

# Allow Quarantine releases

#

From: 127.0.0.1 /etc/MailScanner/filetype.rules.allowall.conf

FromOrTo: default /etc/MailScanner/filetype.rules.conf

EOF

 4. Content Scannering Rules

nano /etc/MailScanner/rules/content.scanning.rules

OR

/bin/cat << EOF >>

#

# Allow Quarantine releases

#

From: 127.0.0.1 no

FromOrTo: default yes

EOF

5. Spam Whilelist Rules

The following was not used as using SQL Whitelists

nano /etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.whitelist.rules

OR

/bin/cat << EOF >> /etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.whitelist.rules

#

# Allow Quarantine releases

#

From: 127.0.0.1 yes

FromOrTo: default no

EOF

6. Filename Rules Allowall

nano /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.allowall.conf

OR

/bin/cat << EOF >> /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.allowall.conf

allow .* - -

EOF

 7. Filetype Rules Allowall

nano /etc/MailScanner/filetype.rules.allowall.conf

OR

/bin/cat << EOF >> /etc/MailScanner/filetype.rules.allowall.conf

allow .* - -

EOF

 

Happy Releasing from Quarantine.
