        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.

                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

                    Thanks for the reply.

                    This file doesn't exist so I modified the file /usr/local/pkg/mailscanner.inc
                    And it seems to work  :)

                      Will be there  when you update/upgrade the package. :)

                        And about updates, is there a procedure to update packages ?
                        Or I just need to click on "Reinstall this package" in the package manager ?

                          Normally, just update.

                          A backup first is always a good idea.  :)

                              Your antivirus is up to date ?
                              freshclam –version

                              clamav is not automatically updated, you have configure your crontab.
                              To update manually :
                              /usr/local/bin/freshclam

                                          Clamd::ERROR:: UNKNOWN CLAMD RETURN ./lstat() failed: Permission denied. ERROR :: /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming

                                          Is anyone seeing this error in the /var/log/maillog.  It's obviously a permissions error, but I can not figure out how to get rid of it.

                                          the /var/spool/MailScanner/ is created by postfix. I tried adding clamav to the postfix group as well as www and wheel the error still occurs.

                                            clamd should be running with postfix user.

                                            Try to apply maiscanner config and check in /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf what user is configured.
