      Even after changing the permissions mailscanner still shows as stoped in Status:services

      check in console, I did not finished services:status check option.

      I did this install sequence:

      • postfix

      • mailscanner

      • havp

      I got services running
      8148  ??  S      0:00.47 MailScanner: waiting for messages (perl5.10.1)
      8155  ??  S      0:00.48 MailScanner: waiting for messages (perl5.10.1)

      right permissions on folders

        To improve performance on your mailscanner filter, you need to install pfsense with a separated /var partition and enable soft-updates on it during install.

        The size of this partition depends on your mail volume I suggest at least 10G.

        without soft-updates it will have a 'not so good performance'.

        I've tried some rc.d scripts to change / to soft-updates with no luck, so it's better and well supported to do this during install.

          Well I reinstalled in your suggested sequence but still the mailscanner service is shown as stopped in pfsense - been though log and do not see anything unusual - but perhaps you can.

            it's running.

            go to console or ssh and do a ps ax | grep -i mailscanner

            also check if spamassassin is ok with spamassassin –lint.

            to update spamassassin rules, run sa-update
            to update clamav virus definitions, run freshclam

            As i told you, id did not finished mailscanner process check in status services.

              Sorry - missed the point about services - mailscanner does seem to be running but no response from other commands.

                  Is there a HOWTO for mailscanner in PFSense? I'm setting up an exchange server behind a PFSense firewall (both virtualized) and would like to use the PFSense VM to filter out some of the garbage before it makes it to the Exchange server. I've used SpamAssassin before, but never MailScanner, and it's been a loooonnnnggg time. :)

                  I had considered running a separate Untangle VM until I saw this in the packages list.

                  Thanks!

                    The first combat is done in postfix package(more then 80% of spam is killed there).

                    All mailscanner default options are in gui.

                    Take a look.

                      Thanks. To be a little more clear in my question, what do I need to do from a prerequisit standpoint? Do I need to manually install a new version of perl? Do I need to install the Postfix package first? Or will the mailscanner-dev package do all this for me?

                      Thanks,
                      Ben

                        If you do not have any perl version installed on your box, just install postfix and then mailscanner.

                          Perfect, thanks!

                          EDIT
                          Actually, I do have one further question. As this will be much more processor intensive than just routing traffic, what minimum specs would you recommend? I'm currently running it as a single chip single-core VM with 1G ram on an i7-920.
                          I'm thinking this will be enough, but was considering upping it to a dual core to be safe.

                          Thanks,
                          Ben

                            It only depends on your mail traffic.

                            I suggest you to read this topic about disc performance for a better setup

                              Again, thanks. I will probably set up a RAMDisk for cache, since I've got 18GB in there and space for 24GB, should be a-plenty. :)

                                Hi,

                                One final question. What if I have to run perl-5.12.4? I'm running in a VM and VMware Tools requires it. Can I have both installed?

                                Thanks,
                                Ben

                                  Maybe it will not work, perl modules will be installed on 5.12 and mailscanner will look for it on 5.10.

                                  I'm trying to compile mailscanner latest version 4.83 in a vm with perl 5.12.

                                  If you can, wait some time until I finish these tests. Any mailscanner version change needs a full config check(500 options).

                                  If tests go fine, I'll publish package version 0.2

                                    Maybe it will not work, perl modules will be installed on 5.12 and mailscanner will look for it on 5.10.

                                    I'm trying to compile mailscanner latest version 4.83 in a vm with perl 5.12.

                                    If you can, wait some time until I finish these tests. Any mailscanner version change needs a full config check(500 options).

                                    If tests go fine, I'll publish package version 0.2

                                    Sounds good, thanks! I'm going to guess there is no "you must change these settings but can leave everything else default" list anywhere, is there? I've been reading over PostFix/mailscanner documentation but didn't know if there were any reccos.

                                    Thanks again,
                                    Ben

                                      For now, you can check or fill all defaut options. This will generates a very good setup on postfix and mailscanner. Every filed has a default option or a config hint to help.

                                      As these packages are just helpers for sysadmins, I recommend reading postfix and mailscanner official docs/tutorials.

                                      I`m doing this to find usefull options to include in gui.

                                      It will take too long to rewrite postfix/mailscanner docs.

                                      Something sombody can do to help are some tutorials about configuring these services via gui.

                                        I would be happy to take this on, I've done a number of tutorials previously. However, since I'm new to PostFix/MailScanner, I may have some questions on specific options to ensure I don't teach others the wrong way to do it :)

                                        Once I get everything set up with the new version, I'll post screenshots of my config if you don't mind, and if it's all good I'll do a video+text/image tutorial.

                                        Thanks,
                                        Ben

                                            mailscanner-dev v 4.83.5 pkg 0.1 is out.

                                            I'm working on gui now, to improve external checks (dcc, pyzor, etc..)

                                            you may need to uninstall old package and dependencies by hand. I did not tested upgrades.
