Outgoing SPAM

[aboyce]

I Scan outgoing messages with the hope that it would prevent posable infected computers on my network or remote users from sending outgoing SPAM. I figured this would limit the chances that i would be added to a black list due to this protection. but i find that when my web server sends email as it comes from a different internal IP address it tends to mark most of the messages it sends as SPAM ??

Indeed, setting your spam theshold at .5 should catch a lot of legitimate email as spam.

so bypass traffic outgoing from the web server's IP address to port 25.

This link is for a different post and an entirely different untangle install. with completely different issues to the conversation on this post.

I have done this and it does resolve the issue but does not address the greater issue and that is why do all outgoing emails coming from sources that have no inbound port forward on the untangle get Identified as SPAM ?

I have a VPN to a remote site and they relay outgoing through a smart host i have set up on the network this is for outgoing email and I would like to prevent them from sending outgoing emails if they are in fact SPAM due to a posable BOT infection etc.. but because the Smarthost does not have inbound rule on the untangle it likes to mark everything a SPAM from the smart host.

Now if i make my main mail server a smart host I do not have this issue so i have to assume the the problem is because the smart host is not receiving email from the outside but my mail server is. ??
