Unable to resolve e-sac.siteseguro.ws on a dns lookup.
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

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.
-
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
-
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?)

On this current version, you are able only to see amount of messages on quarantine.
status -> postfix queue
the mailscanner package use native sqlite2 databases while mailscanner use sqlite3 to store quarantine data.
There is a way to enable sqlite3 on mailscanner, but I'll need to rewrite a lot to update it to sqlite3 only.
Maybe next version I include a tab for quarantine.
Today I use only reject, attach or subject action for spam on my system.
If you really need this, you can make a donation to mailscanner package so I can write it for you.

Just found the following in the log
php: : The command '/usr/local/dcc/dcc_conf stop' returned exit code '126', the output was '/usr/local/dcc/dcc_conf: Permission denied'
Also seem to be having some problems with what should be spam identified by rules in postfix is actually being passed - maybe best in the morning rather than late on a sunday night!

Did you:
Inlcude /^Subject:/ WARN line in Acl Headers after all your Subject rules.
enabled thirdpart antispam, selected message hold mode and software?
enabled all default options(yes) on mailscanner gui?Can you see mailscanner action with a tail -f /var/log/maillog | grep -i mailscanner
-
Had the WARN line as the first line in the ACL header - trying as last line
Mailscanner enables, queue set to auto and mailscanner+ spam+ virus selected.
Exactly which option in mailscanner gui are you referring to?
One discovery - it looks like most of the problems are related to mail retrieved from a pop3 mailbox by fetchmail.

Mailscanner works together with postfix, how fetchmail forward these messages to postfix daemon?
-
Fetchmail is running on another box (Ubuntu) and forwards to the pfsense box running the scanner.
Just had a complete freeze of the scanner and had to rebuild from scratch - the install hung at
PCRE-8.21-1.TBZ (Extracting) after I hit enter it continued.
-
Not sure that my theory of using another machine to run fetchmail is going to work. It appears that the SMTP traffic (going direct to pfsense scanner) is being processed correctly, but POP3 traffic collected by the other machine using fetchmail and then forwarded to the scanner is not being scanned for spam - my guess is that because it is on the same network it assumes it is whitelisted? Or am I more confused than usual?

I would be interested in a quarantine tab with a release and whitelist function for valid messages that get caught in the filter.
please PM me with what you feel an appropriate donation would beUPDATE: After speaking to Marcello over PM, he has agreed to work on adding a quarantine tab to the mailscanner. I have made a donation to this effort and encourage anyone else that is interested to please donate as well. I feel a the addition of the quarantine / white list function adds a lot of value and functionality. Right now I have many clients using hosted solutions for spam filtering but would much prefer to have the it on my pfsense installations
