Hello,
I need to know how to configure SpamAssassin and Postfix to not screen ANY incoming emails. While I realize this means some spam may come in, I am missing emails from important new clients and occasionally some existing clients.
I noticed this recently when a new customer sent me an email. Fortunately they followed with a phone call and sent an email to my other ISP based email account. And yes, I check the "spam" folder. Nothing in it.
I have tried changing the settings in SpamAssassin and even disabling it under VirtualMin, but there are some emails that just don't come in. I tested this using an email account I have with a client - "me@client.com". I can send and receive emails to and from any other email accounts (hotmail, gmail, etc), but my "biz.com" virtualserver will not receive emails from "client.com"
I would like to receive ALL emails regardless. I do not want my mail system to screen any emails. How to I do this in VirtualMin? What settings can I change in PostFix / SpamAssassin / VirtualMin to accomplish this?
Thank you...
If you don't wish to any spam processing, you can disable the Spam feature for that Virtual Server.
To do that, you can go into Edit Virtual Server, and disable the "Spam filtering enabled" feature. You can do likewise with the Virus Filtering feature.

I've done that. Still not receiving email from "client.com". I looked in mail logs there is nothing in the logs to even suggest the two servers are talking. I have sent and received emails from other accounts and watched the mail logs.
When I send something from the "client.com" account to my server and CC another account my server does not even record the event in maillog. But the other account receives the email.
What could be stopping it from even appearing in the maillog file? Is there another log file to look at that can tell me why email from the "client.com" domain are not even making to maillog?
Howdy,
The email logs -- either /var/log/maillog, or /var/log/mail.log, on the receiving server should always show what's happening to email that comes to your server.
If you send an email, and nothing is showing up in the logs -- that means something is keeping the email from arriving.
It's difficult to say what, but my guess is that either the DNS MX record could be off, or for some reason, there's an issue with the server where client.com is sending emails.
Are you able to view the email logs from the server that's sending email on behalf of client.com?

Found the problem. The "client.com" server had set up a static host address for our domain pointed to the wrong IP. Once they removed it and let it resolve on it own, problem went away.
