[SAtalk] strange glitch with SA and MailScanner

[Chris Yuzik]

Hi everyone,   I have SpamAssassin and MailScanner running on my RedHat 7.3 machine. The server hosts about a dozen domains. I run sendmail and procmail. Almost everything works great. Almost.   Mail from the outside world works as expected, gets scanned and scored and so forth. I've got SA's threshold set to 5 and am running DCC and Razor...in the two days I tested it over the weekend, it correctly identified 99%+ of spam.   My big problem is that sometimes mail from within the server never arrives...never bounces...just goes to a black hole.   I'll list some examples so it makes more sense:   1) let's pretend that domain1.com and domain2.com are hosted on my server. external1.com is not hosted on my server. 2) [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] can both sent to and receive email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] just fine. [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] can also sent to and receive email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to. Internal to the outside world works. 3) [EMAIL PROTECTED] can not email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and vice-versa. Internal to internal is not working. 4) it gets stranger. [EMAIL PROTECTED] can send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but not the other way around. If scott replies to dave's message, then dave never gets the reply.   As I said before, the message doesn't bounce or anything...it just goes into a black hole and is never seen again.   When I installed MailScanner, the documentation said I was supposed to do the following (which is what I did): 1) "service sendmail stop" 2) "service MailScanner start"   In an attempt to troubleshoot the problem, I tried the following: 1) "service MailScanner stop" 2) "service sendmail start" 3) "service MailScanner start"   Now everyone can email everyone else: internal<-> internal and internal<->external just fine. Unfortunately, now nothing gets processed through spamassassin.   How do I go about fixing this?   Please help.   Regards, Chris Yuzik
