        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 10:07:53 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!

              Does anyone know what's the problem?

              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.

                  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.

                        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.

                            This package had no changes on last months but I'll check.

                                Testing a VM of a clean AMD install.  Will advise how it goes.

                                  The clean install on the VM is working perfectly.  I have redirected all SMTP traffic through the new VM for the time being and will rebuild the firewall on the weekend (love this "out of hours" stuff  ;)).

                                  Thanks for your help, fast responses and most of all the combination "mailscanner + spamassassin + clamav" package.  Brilliant work!

                                    I've pushed some updates to improve boot process, and checks to perl version and config files.

                                    The clean install now, select all default options.

                                    att,

                                          Hi,

                                          I would like to disable the change on email subject when mailscanner "disarm" an email.
                                          So I modified Mailscanner.conf and the line "Disarmed Modify Subject = no"
                                          but it comes back to its previous settings  "Disarmed Modify Subject = start" on reboot.

                                          What can I do ?

                                          Thanks

                                            What can I do ?

                                            change /usr/local/pkg/mailscanner.conf.template and apply changes.
