[SOLVED] Releasing quarantined emails

[captainmish]

A quick way to release mail direct to user inboxes (requires a bit of setup but its a one liner after that) using amavisd-release

Release quarantined banned mail from zimbra one-liner! | SubVS.co.uk

Please vote for Bug 47625 – Include amavisd-release with amavisd (include amavisd-release in zimbra packages)

I found what I think is a better way of releasing quarantined emails (at least until bug 47625 is fixed), using zmlmtpinject.

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmlmtpinject -s <envelope_sender> /opt/zimbra/data/amavisd/quarantine/virus-whatever -r <recipient>

Note that <recipient> can be a list.

Full documentation on zmlmtpinject is here: how can I use zmlmtpinject? - Zimbra :: Forums

Shouldn't be too hard to script a solution that just takes the filename and then parses it for the envelope sender and recipient list. (Or envelope sender can just default to postmaster@<your_domain>.)

If using the sendmail method, Adding the "offending" sender address to the white list doesnt help either

Excellent. That works nicely.

/opt/zimbra/bin/zmlmtpinject -s <envelope_sender> /opt/zimbra/data/amavisd/quarantine/virus-whatever -r <recipient>

That worked for me too.
In addition I created a webmin custom command with variables for <virus-whatever> and <recipient> so my administrators can easily release messages in the future without having to drop to the command line.

Surely this should be something available from the admin interface...???

1. Go to the mail server's desktop
2. Navigate to /yourZimbraRoot/zimbra/data/amavisd/quarantine
3. Copy the banned email in question to a directory accessible on the network.
4. Navigate to the network folder you saved the file on
5. Change the extension type of the file to .eml
6. You can just double click on the EML file if you have Thunderbird installed and get to the email and attachment that way.

I'm using the zmlmtpinject method to release quarantined incoming messages successfully.

Is there a method for using zmlmtpinject on outgoing messages that are quarantined?

I try it and receive an error

Injecting 1 message(s) to 1 recipient(s).  Server localhost, port 7025, using 1 thread(s).
[warn] Recipient `recipient@emaildomain.com' rejected
[] WARN: Delivery failed for /opt/zimbra/data/amavisd/quarantine/banned-tumLvfjD0A4G:

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)

Seems to only work on inbound mail. Its only very occasionally that we send firmware updates out that trigger the attachment policy. At the moment I have to remove exe from the banned attachments get the user to send email, and reenable the exe as a banned attachment.

I doubt that lmtpinject will work since LMTP is intended for local delivery.

What you'd like to do, I suppose, is inject the message directly into the outbound mail queue, bypassing amavis. How to do this, I'm afraid I don't know.

This sounds interesting. Would be good to have a admin zimlet for this stuff. Anyone have the time to make this happen?
