I’m setting up a new installation of Nethserver 8. Its main purpose is to serve as a local mail server (I was previously using NS7). To retrieve emails from the external provider, I’m using the fetchmail module and have configured it according to the instructions from mrmarkuz. Everything is working fine. Now I’ve received an email containing a virus; fetchmail retrieves this email every 5 minutes (according to the cron schedule) and rejects it. How can I break this endless loop? The message needs to be marked as seen… or something else?
I assume fetchmail is configured using the “keep” option to keep mails on the server of the external provider.
You could mark the mail as seen or delete it from the external provider server by using a web(mail) client.
Sorry, fetchmail ist configured without “keep” option…
poll <ext_provider> proto pop3 uidl auth password port 995 timeout 60 interval 5 user “xxxx” password “yyyy” ssl is <Mail_address> here smtphost <Neth_IP>
But can I get a notification if a virus is detected? It would be great if that could be automated…
Is there a way (perhaps in the rspamd module) to remove the attachment or mark the email instead of rejecting it?
set no softbounce
Delete permanently undeliverable mail. It is recommended to use this option if the configuration has been thoroughly tested.
–nosoftbounce
(since v6.3.10, Keyword: set no softbounce, since v6.3.10)
Hard bounce mode. All permanent delivery errors cause messages to be deleted from the upstream server, see “no softbounce” below.
OK, I have set the “set no softbounce” option. Now the message is deleted and the loop has stopped.
But I don’t receive any notification or email telling me what happened… That’s still missing for me.
Thanks anyway for the help. This blog provides quick and helpful support, which I really appreciate. That’s why I recommend NethServer to others
