      Thanks to both of you, marcelloc  and  mschiek01. 
      The help from both of you should be enough now to get me going.  ;D

      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');

                    squid3

                    Mailscanner refuses to load with the following.

                    mailscanner

                      check if you have multiple perl version on your pfsense.

                      type pkg_info | grep -i perl on console/ssh

                        I did a fresh install of pfsense today and installed packages in the following order.  It looks like squid3 broke mailscanner for I was able to run mailscanner from command line until i installed squid.

                        Working Install
                        mailscanner-dev
                        Asterisk
                        postfix
                        squid3 – breaks it.

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

                                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
