X-Qmail-Scanner error

Unread post by laughingbuddha »

Hi all,

I'm getting an odd error when trying to send an email with a link in it via my server:

I run ASL, and this issue defiantly wasn't happening last Friday, but for some reason if I include a link in an email, in this case a link to a file in dropbox, it fails to send with the above error on every account. Remove the link, and it is fine.

I even tried using different recipient email addresses, and it made no difference.

Help!

It is any link at all, or just some links? I'm wondering if it is being considered spam, and dropped, hence no recipients/sender?

I'm suggesting this only because on one of my systems, which does not use qmail-scanner, when an incoming message is considered spam and is dropped, I get a similar message in the logs about no sender and no recipient, followed by, If I remember correctly, "this is not a ABC error". I can't remember what ABC is. qmail, clamav? I just can't remember.

Anything in your server's logs? Those messages are usually more informative than what gets sent to/displayed a client.

Where are the mail logs kept. I've gone to /var/log/maillog but it is empty.

Ok, this I found it now. This is what the maillog has reported.

I had to reproduce the error, because the logs had moved on from when I tried it yesterday.

Important to remember I'm only sending an email with a link in it, and no attachments. Works fine if I use my ISP's mail relay server.
