      Hi Marcello

      Do you have any updates on SASL authentication and if/when it may be included in this great package?

      I would love to migrate our existing SMTP solution over to this but the lack of authentication is the only thing stopping me.

      Cheers,

      James

        smtp auth is from postfix package, I've posted an answer there :)

            I tools like you need to select another language report.

            reports//languages.conf

            should be

            reports/some_language/languages.conf

              thanks now it works!
              compliments for the great job!!!!

              (I needed to set 'no' and again 'disarm' "Removing/Logging dangerous or potentially offensive content" directives to make it works).

                I tried to re-install the system (I am using I386) from scratch, and I wrote some notes that may be of help:

                sa-spamd and clamd start
                manually added:
                clamav_clamd_enable="YES"
                clamav_freshclam_enable="YES"
                spamd_enable="YES"
                to /etc/rc.conf/local

                Deliver from postfix to mailscanner, manually added:
                header_checks = regexp:/usr/local/etc/postfix/header_checks to /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf
                created  the /usr/local/etc/postfix/header_checks with '/^Received:/ HOLD' inside
                restarted with postfix reload
                I didn't find the options that make this work from the web configurator <– help please! :)

                Cannot lock /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Locks/clamavBusy.lock, No such file or directory
                chown -R postfix /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Locks.

                This is a very usefull pkg, thanks to Marcello for the great work!

                  I use all these options with no file hacking.

                  Did you installed postfix pfsense package to work with mailscanner?

                    Installed first postfix forward and then mailscanner-dev

                      header checks are on services -> postfix forwarder -> access lists

                        Hello all
                        I have installed Posfix Forwarder and the mailscanner + spamassassin + clamav package. Postfix is working wonderfully but I think I must have somthing wrong in my configuration with mailscanner. In Postfix I have the 3rd party option enabled / The mode is set to auto. I have the mailscanner package enabled as well as the CLAMAV and spam assassin options enabled. But when I run the GFI Security Test EVERYTHING get through.

                        When I look at the process list for mailscanner I see
                        55735  ??  S      0:05.39 MailScanner: waiting for messages (perl5.12.4)
                        56936  ??  S      0:04.45 MailScanner: waiting for messages (perl5.12.4)
                        59478  ??  S      0:04.08 MailScanner: waiting for messages (perl5.12.4)
                        60031  ??  S      0:04.05 MailScanner: waiting for messages (perl5.12.4)

                        when I run tail -f /var/log/maillog |grep -i mailscanner

                        I get nothing?

                        if I restart mailscanner I get this

                          check if you can find /^from:/ HOLD  on view configuration -> header check

                          If not, change mailscanner Message Hold mode on antispam tab to manual and include the above line on access lists -> header

                              I have a question (can be a bit stupid!). Can MailScanner + Postfix run in transparent mode?.
                              The reason is I have a pfsense box with 4 interfaces + 01 mail server stand alone. I want to run pfsense without intervention on the mail server.

                                Well, I did no transparent mode on this package but if you know how to do it on postfix I can merge this on next release.

                                      I noticed a 'strange' thing, incoming attachments files become zipped, cool feature, but who is the author of this ?

                                        It`s a mailscanner feature but you can disable it on gui(I'm not in front of one right now to point the option  ;)).

                                            Hi all,

                                            I've installed mailscanner + spamassassin + clamav package and I cannot get spamassassin working…

                                            Clamav works great (tested with eicar file) but the GTUBE test for spamassassin fails : spam is not detected, score is 0, and message is delivered.
                                            I've made the test from inside and outside the local network. Both fails.

                                            Can you help me to solve that ?

                                            Thanks
