Mailscanner + spamassassin + clamav package

Hi all,
version 0.2.1 of mailscanner is out.

I too am having problems with the current version ( 4.83.5 pkg v0.2), the GUI does not reflect the newer version you have released, where might i install this from using pkg?

thanks,
greg

There is a post from Jimp saying that there is problem on replication to production server.

The solution is just wait. :(

Hi Andrew,

Can you try to browse this folder http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/8/All/

I just reinstalled the package to test and it worked.

andrew0401

NO - tried IE & firefox

I've tried access this url from many random web proxies and all listed site content.

can you try changing you dns server to 8.8.8.8 (google)?

I got the page to view

We run pfblocker on the firewall - disabled it and the page appears - I wonder which list your site is on?

Spoke too soon - yes I can see the page - but still unable to install the package - exact same fail message "unable to download"

Andrew

andrew0401

Tried to download the package manually - Clamd rejected access to the page?

The host is in Brazil, maybe you applied deny both on top spammers list.

andrew0401

Tring to put an exception for your site above the pfblock list - otherwise I might have to be less harsh on what is blocked!

The package now seems to be installed OK - time to start tuning!

There are good guys on Brazil too ;)

You can change pfBlocker top spammers action to alias online and then block access only to port 25.

After a bit of playing it appears that everything is working - I say appears because whilst known good messages get passed and deliberate bad messages do not appear, I seem unable to get any report/log/message about what mailscanner is actually doing. What is it rejecting beyond my known, deliberately introduced spam. Looked at a few guides to mailscanner and finished up confused.

Is there a simple(!) "how to get activity reports out of mailscanner"

Thanks

Andrew

marcelloc

It's quite simple

If you have selected on general tab

log destination = /var/log/maillog
update frequency = every Xminutes

Simple go to diagnostics -> search mail

Select:

log type = QUEUE
iCTRL+CLICK Status info on Message fields
select sqlite file(s) to search
and press search

Thanks, but what I was after is why things are rejected and potentially review rejected/quarantined items for subsequent approval (or have I missed something in my setup?)
