      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

          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

                                I've found the solution myself :
                                just run sa-update to download spamassassin's rules.

                                :)

                                    Use ctrl+click to check/uncheck options on mailscanner conf

                                    The default value on () means what is default on mailscanner. If you want a default setup, then ctrl+click all options that has a (yes) on description.

                                        It appears that the libiconv-1.13.1_1.tbz file has vanished from the http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/8/All/ site for the i386 mailscanner-dev install.

                                        The installer then attempts to locate it at the http://ftp2.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/All/ URL, which doesn't exist.

                                        Thus the install is aborted.  Any hints on how to resolve this?

                                          I've pushed the missing file.

                                          Try to reinstall it.

                                            Below is the output from the instllation script:
