UTm Message Security SMTP transparent logs

[toastyhamster]

Hi,

I suspect this is a stupid question, but I'm new to message security and UTMs so....

When I enable AV on the gateway and move the slider to "block", *all* mail gets rejected and then accepted. There's no info in the logs as to why it was rejected, just that it's on rule 0 by the transparent smtp, the following accept is also on rule 0, also by transparent smtp.

Is this just a quirk of the logging or is there a problem here? I was expecting to see logs if a virus was detected, other than that I'd expect it to be logged by the explicit rule and passed to NAT etc. As it is it's being rejected/accepted on rule 0 and also NATd, this makes it look like any explicit SMTP rules are not required? Seems a bit odd to me.

Thanks

The logging in Messaging Security is pretty dreadful, which is a strange claim to make against Check Ponit, seeing you'll usually get every piece of obscure log information you could possibly need. The rejecting of all mail sounds like a misconfiguration - have you checked to see if the mail actually gets through or not?
