Howdy folks, long time no see which means this thing just works fabulously. Still in love w/ Virtualmin, 5 years into it.
I do have one small hiccup though : spamtrap and hamtrap stopped working for me recently. At least hamtrap is a blackhole and does not redeliver messages back to my inbox.
I'm guessing it's from the update listed here : https://www.virtualmin.com/node/24260 "The spamtrap and hamtrap email aliases now only accept mail from authenticated senders or the local system, to prevent poisoning of the spamassassin rules engine by attackers."
?
Do I need to do any special voodoo if I'm forwarding emails to my hamtrap/spamtrap accounts from an SMTPS client (getting mail via IMAPS)? I usually connect to the server using the main server address, not the virtual domain address if that makes a difference. Eg. mainserver.hostingcompany.com instead of mail.vanitydomain.com.
Thanks in advanced, -m
The hamtrap address won't deliver email to your inbox - instead it will just tell SpamAssassin to learn that the message was incorrectly classified as spam. This will help its evaluation of future messages.

Ahh, wasn't aware of that. I forgot I moved from a homebrew solution ( http://warped.org/blog/2009/12/17/spam-ham-learning-folders-for-virtualm... ) to the new built in support.
That explains it, thanks
