G'day from down under :)
Have just spent many hours installing & configuring MIMEDefang 2.28, Spamassassin &
Sendmail 8.12.7
Everything is working fine except that I am not receiving the admin emails when
messages are quarantined.
Here are some details:
1. Rejected Spam from mail log

3. Administrator email section in mimedefang-filter
<snip>
#***********************************************************************
# Set administrator's e-mail address here. The administrator receives
# quarantine messages and is listed as the contact for site-wide
# MIMEDefang policy. A good example would be 'defang-admin at mydomain.com'
#***********************************************************************
$AdminAddress = 'postmaster at ozmatrix.com';
$AdminName = "Scott Harris";
#***********************************************************************
# Set the e-mail address from which MIMEDefang quarantine warnings and
# user notifications appear to come. A good example would be
# 'mimedefang at mydomain.com'. Make sure to have an alias for this
# address if you want replies to it to work.
#***********************************************************************
$DaemonAddress = 'mimedefang at ozmatrix.com';

4. Aliases created
[root at morpheous:] # cat /etc/mail/aliases
<snip>
postmaster: root
root: scott
mimedefang: scott
<snip>
Still no emails. It's probably something really obvious :)
Can someone please point me in the right direction of where to look next?
Thanks very much!
