Mailscanner + spamassassin + clamav package

hammeraus001

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.

marcelloc

clamd should be running with postfix user.

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

Multiple installs all installed

postfix->mailscanner->dansguardian

I check them all all have

Run as another user (clamd must be started by root for this option to work)

Default: don't drop privileges

User clamav

Tried save mailscanner configuration and enabling and disabling the daemon. It appears that the program is not updating the clamd.conf at all.

Did a new clean install -postfix-mailscanner-dansguardian. Saved the mailscanner config and checked the clamd.conf "clamav" was still the user.

Manually edited the clamd.conf and changed the user from "clamav" to "postfix" reboot and everthing is working properly.
