SpamSnake Ubuntu 8.04

[gachnar]

I have setup a server according to the article

http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-spamsnake-ubuntu-8.04

but have hit a roadblock. I have checked the mail.log and keep seeing the following information listed in the log. It's not actually releasing it. Posted below is what I keep seeing.

I don't know where to go from here.. its not releasing mail to my endpoint server. Any Ideas?

Is this a new build or and old previously working snake?

[gachnar]

Fresh Build. I just started on it yesterday and got up to step 9.15, but when I checked the logs I was getting the above messages. I did have an issue before that about UNKNOWN SENDER DOMAIN, but I just deleted those from the main.cf and let mail at least hit the queue. Any ideas?

Please try the updated guide using Ubuntu 10.10. I've moved away from Mailwatch and now using Baruwa. It's a more advanced frontend.

[gachnar]

I was actually in the process of doing that. I was just trying to hedge my bets so I could hopefully get one of them working properly. I do have another question that's slightly off topic, but I will ask that in another forum if I need to.

The SpamSnake Ubuntu 10.10 guide is as accurate as a guide you'll find. Please remember to use the Baruwa SN sources listed at the corresponding links. Otherwise, you should be find.
