Hi Martin, Thanks for the hint, I've checked the mailscanner wiki and I did even a quick check on the exim processes running (below is the result) and it looks like the exim and mailscanner configuration are set to work successfully: Here what I get from a process side of it (both exim instances are running as per mailscanner-exim document):

S 10:01 0:04 MailScanner: waiting for messages ---------------------------------------------------------- Before I pushed the emails through my baruwa server, I have added the "*: /etc/exim/accepted_relay_network.txt*" in the */etc/exim/exim.conf* file as "*relay_from_hosts*" option to accept the network ranges included in the manually created file "/etc/exim/accepted_relay_network.txt" (each network range is on a separate line as per documentation), I didn't add any domain in baruwa UI yet... could this be the cause of the issue then? Thanks again for any hint.
