[SOLVED] Per-User AS/AV Filters (like sieve) - Spam in PoP3 lost?

[uxbod]

The way I implement Mailscanner and Mailwatch is that it sits in-front of ZCS and performs all aspects of AV/AS. I then disable these features within ZCS. Why? you may ask ... Well I like to keep my ZCS installation as Vanilla as possible; that is not to say ZCS cannot be customized I just prefer this approach.

In my opinion i think this is a cute approach, now I'm askin my self, probably becouse never installed one yet, but Mailscanner + Mailwatch installation could be done on the same machine server where Zimbra ZCS is installed with all its modules activated? If the answer is yes, what I need to install in what order to obtain a functional interface between ZCS and Filters?

Sorry, this probably seems a shout of help more than a simply question

If you were to adopt this approach then I would highly recommend that MS/MW is installed on a separate machine to ZCS. You would then have MS relay all messages to ZCS and vice-versa. You could also have MS inject a header showing how the email was scored and then a per user sieve rule in ZCS to act on it.

So the process is:

• main DNS point to zimbra
  
• zimbra relay all to MS
  
• MS relay all to zimbra

this is logic, but how to not fall in a loop between zimbra/MS ?

No, the MX record would point to MailScanner, which when processed a email, would forward onto Zimbra. For outbound you would setup ZCS to relay through the MailScanner server.

That's right! Now it has sense

There is a field into Administration console to relay all outbound to an external server?

[uxbod]

Admin GUI -> Servers -> MTA Tab -> Relay MTA for external delivery

Fast and efficient. Thx uxbod.

So now I've to install my MS+MW to start testing, there are iso for pre-configured distros or i've to install an ubuntu/debian distro + manual download/install of MS/MW packages? (really hope that answers is 1st...)
