How to disable clam av and simscan for local to local mail
transcations.


Regards,

if you have 2 separate servers (MX w/ POP3 server and SMTP server) like
I have
then you can ask your users to use SMTP server for outgoing
after that you can configure simscan on SMTP server not to scan incoming
message from your local networks / authenticated users

I like having message retrieval and message transports (submission and reception) on separate hosts. Submission and reception could even be on separate hosts. This effectively segregates roles, and allows for better tailoring and tuning as well as scaling.

I don't see though how you'd tailor simscan to accomplish this while still having all smtp traffic (submission and reception) being processed by a single qmail instance. Simscan can be tailored according to the recipient domain or address. I think that Raja is wanting to tailor scanning according to the sender as well. Perhaps Pak is meaning that he's separated submission/smtp from reception/smtp as well and just didn't mention it.

This could be accomplished if you:
a) create a separate host for submissions (port 587)
b) configure all users to use the submission host's url (and port 587) for their outbound smtp. It might be desirable to disable smtp-auth on port 25 on the incoming smtp host. c) disable clamav on the submission host, using one record for each local domain in the simcontrol file.

Thanks Pak!

FWIW, it's my intention to make things easier in the future to create these separate roles for QMT. It's fairly easy to do now using virtual machines, but I'm hoping to be able to segregate things in a single QMT host as well. If you'd like to keep up on such developments, please subscribe to the devel list and strike up a conversation.
