Trusting Localhost

  • J

    I have just got SG installed on the same server as MD and am working to get Spam processing to work right.

    SG was way too agressive at first until I transferred a couple whitelists and adjusted SPF settings.  Some real SPAM is still coming in because MD is "trusting" Localhost.

    I'm trying to find out where MD has a setting to not spam check from a "localhost".

    X-Spam-Processed: mail.sv-cs.com, Wed, 09 Aug 2023 13:43:11 -0700
     (not processed: message was sent from localhost)

    I'm hoping that SG does the main stuff, but MD will still do it's spam checking.  I've removed 127.0.0.1 from trusted IP's, but can't find where else to look.

    I believe MDaemon will always skip spam processing for messages sent to localhost.  Try changing SecurityGateway to send to the local IP instead of localhost.

    I should have tested it before I posted.  Sending to the local IP is excluded as well.

    Edit your CFilter.ini file in the MDaemon\app directory and set the following key:

    [SpamFilter]
    SkipLocalLoopback=No

    Save the file and then restart MDaemon.

    It should start sending the messages through the spamfilter.

    Thanks Aaron,

    I've made the change and will see what happens.
