      Maybe you should default it in your package to clamd instead of auto?

      The php code checks for virus_scanning == "yes" and 'virus_scanner' != none

      so auto or clamd will result on the same config check.

        @marcelloc:

        Just a question, did you checked VirusScanning(yes) and Virus scanner =clamd on mailscanner antivirus tab?

        I've checked the code and it looks for user clamav on clamd.conf file

        I just checked an it was set to:
        VirusScanning(yes) Do not even know how to change this or turn on any options that have (no)Guess i have to modify some config files or something. Google will answer me i hope.  ;D Aha ()=default and if it is selected it is on right?

        Virus scanner was set to auto

        So what is recommended i do?
        Change user back to clamav and set it to use clameav?  
        And should i be able to see in the logs that any emails is scanned and passes the scan?
        Reason for asking is that i can not see anything like that in the log files in regards to avscan of emails..
        This is what i see in the log for an incoming email:

        Again sorry for noob questions.

        Leave the user as postfix or it will not work.

        in /var/log/maillog you should see something like this on accepted mail.

        Jul 24 17:41:23 6460_a_51st MailScanner[4124]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages, 50753 bytes
        Jul 24 17:41:23 6460_a_51st MailScanner[4124]: Virus and Content Scanning: Starting

        Jul 24 17:41:24 6460_a_51st MailScanner[4124]: Expired 1 records from the SpamAssassin cache

        First though you need to configure postfix to hold the mail in the que so it can be scanned with something like this.

        in the gui for postfix
        click the access lists tab
        and put something like this "/^from:/ HOLD"

        You also need to configure the recipients tab as well as the antispam tab

        If you look to the botom of the antispam page:

        Check use third party anti spam
        I use message hold mode "manual mode using acls"
        mailscanner+spam assassin + clamav

            The package works great once you get it set up.

            Marcelloc helped me a lot. Just trying to return the favor.

            Just any FYI.  If you are going to use active directory to extract your valid recipients.  You need to make sure you install p5-perl-ldap.

                    I took a look at the mailscanner.conf and it appears the directories are created with 0600 with a user postfix?

                      Yes, maiscanner runs with postfix user.

                      chown ('/var/spool/postfix','postfix');

                            check if you have multiple perl version on your pfsense.

                            type pkg_info | grep -i perl on console/ssh

                              mailscanner-dev

                              postfix
                              squid3 – breaks it.

                                perhaps it's the perl-threaded-5.12.4_4 Practical Extraction and Report Languag package.

                                      any idea's?

                                      try to leave only one perl version(using pkg_delete -f) and reinstall mailscanner

                                      I did the following.
                                      Installed squid3
                                      pkg_info | grep -i perl
                                      pkg_delete -f perl-5.12.4_3
                                      pkg_delete -f perl-threaded-5.12.4_4
                                      rm -rf /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.4

                                      Reinstalled mail scanner

                                      works.  Thanks!

                                          There is a mailscanner greylist doc on official site http://www.mailscanner.info/greylist.html

                                          Postfix implements greylist with postscreen
