Hi. I hope this question isn't beyond the scope of this group or hasn't
been answered already.
I maintain a site that runs Majordomo v. 1.94.5. We have over 55 groups
and close to 4800 members.
Some of these groups have been in existence for a while and have found
themselves in spammer databases.
Spamd runs fine on a local user account, but does not scan any aliases
from the /etc/aliases file.
Is there a way to have this done? Or is it beyond SA capabilities?
It depends upon how you have SA integrated into your mail system.
Usually SA is used in one of two ways; either at delivery time
(via procmail, etc) or as a part of your MTA chain (eg a sendmail
milter, Mimedefang, Amavis-new, Mailscanner, etc).
In the first way aliases may not be scanned, in the second as SA is
part of the transmission of mail thru your system it will be.
So the general answer is to look at your incoming MTA and see how you
can fit SA into that (different MTAs have different sets of options
available to them).
This is similar to the question of how to SA filter mail for an
Exchange server (no procmail there ;).
