Q: Lion Server junk filter blocking external mail
I just set up mail services on a Lion 10.7.5 Server. This is a fully public MTA. I have it working properly, with one exception. When I turn on the junk filter (amavis) it blocks ALMOST all external mail. Internal mail is delivered just fine. Once in a blue moon an external mail gets through. There is nothing of interest that I can see in the logs. I have the server set to deliver mail whether or not it is to be marked as junk.
Since it was critical to get this mail server up and running, I ended up leaving off the junk filter. My users are NOT happy, so any thoughts about where to look would be greatly appreciated.
As a side note, just in case it is realted. I had to disable Postgres as the Apple install is completley broken (initdb is a different version than postgress executabel and so will not run). So if amavis needs that, then I will have to fix postgres. You would think it would throw and error if that was the case though.
