How do you have your [email protected] configured?

All kind of messages should be accepted right?
But it is blocking and rejecting all kind of normaly unwanted messages.

And in the cpanel account the spamassassin/spambox filters are domain wide settings. Not per email account!.

As i know the users_prefs file i did add:

whitelist_to abuse@*
score AWL -100
score USER_IN_WHITELIST_TO -100

And added as second rule in antivirus.exim:

if $header_to: contains "abuse@"
then
# no further checks
finish
endif

Is that enough to accept all kind of not wanted email? (abuse reports with spam content)

edit: No it is not enough.. where do i ignore the abuse@ to bypass clamav checking?



Greets,
Danny

Why would you want to bypass the clamav check? Viruses do not belong in any mail, even abuse reports. Complaining parties should forward the abusive E-Mail on to your staff, minus the harmful attachment, and with a note of the specific malware involved.
