Mailscanner + spamassassin + clamav package

ncsidaho

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

That worked
thank you marcello

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.

marcelloc

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.

Not yet but sometime in the future ;)

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

Giacomo

marcelloc

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 ;)).

capitangiaco

Hi Marcelloc

Mailscanner - Attachments - Attachments features

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.

May 2 10:07:52 srvmx06 MailScanner[22383]: Spam Checks: Starting
May 2 10:07:52 srvmx06 MailScanner[22383]: Expired 2 records from the SpamAssassin cache
May 2 10:07:53 srvmx06 MailScanner[22383]: Message 4DAC68A939.ABA57 from xx.xx.xx.xx (whatever@yahoo.com) to domain.com is not spam, SpamAssassin (not cached, score=0, required 6, autolearn=not spam)

May 2 10:07:53 srvmx06 MailScanner[22383]: Spam Checks completed at 2784 bytes per second

Can you help me to solve that ?

Thanks

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

Does anyone know what's the problem?

Another newbie question…
How can I change the default value in Mailscanner?
Double Click or change in .conf file?

Thanks in advance!

@zlyzwy:

try to access each mailscanner config tab and save changes

@zlyzwy:

Double Click or change in .conf file?

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.

This guide was posted yesterday at mailscanner site

01/05/2012 - The "MailScanner User Guide and Training Manual" is now available for free in PDF format!

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?

marcelloc

I've pushed the missing file.

Try to reinstall it.

hammeraus001

No luck. Install halted at the same spot. Checked the http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/8/All/ URL and the file still isn't listed.

Try again.

Since I finish the force perl version issue of this package, files will be available at official repo.

Any ideas?

This was working perfectly (and had been for weeks and without any changes) until yesterday.
