This is a belated follow up to my postings and other people's responses last week.
By way of summary, I was having a problem where the email headers of locally-relayed outbound mail were getting mangled, resulting in remote hosts not being able to recognize the sender and therefore "Reply" wouldn't work for remote users. What I did to "fix" or "workaround" or "alleviate" the problem was to selectively not scan email originating from certain local hosts allowed to relay. Of course I'm still scanning all incoming email. A person who subscribs to this list, Darley Ware, thought the problem might be with the versioning information from my "Antivir" antivirus software, which is stored in the file "qmail-scanner-quarantine.txt" and gets injected into each email header by qmail-scanner. Apparently the default command "antivir --version" produces a whole lot of badly-formatted output. Mr. Ware and Mr. Doug Moore had some excellent suggestions to fix this problem. Their suggestiosn involved some minor modification to the perl code in qmail-scanner-queue.pl, as it relates to the "hbedv" (ie. Antivir) section of code. I took Mr. Monroe's suggestion, tested it out and, as it relates to the amount of verbage injected into the headers, it's working great. A lot less stuff getting put in. Just the hbedv version number and vdf version number. i have yet to see if this fixes my original problem - the local-relay stuff. I'll probably test it next week and post my results to the list at that time.
