Marcelloc-

I see this error in the log when ever Mailscanner starts:

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');

I'm not getting this error but I've included this folder check on mailscanner.inc file.

Asterisk
mailreport
mailscanner-dev

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.

rbblue8

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

rbblue8

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!

marcelloc any way to do greylisting with mailscanner?

marcelloc

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

Postfix implements greylist with postscreen

expert_az

i have postfix and mailscanner installed ,can you give some info howto config postfix postscreen to make work greylisting?

marcelloc

you need just to enable it. It's automatic

take a look on it's docs too

http://www.postfix.org/POSTSCREEN_README.html

expert_az

sorry,where i have to enable?on the postfix package gui?or something from command line?

marcelloc

It's on antispam postfix tab at package gui

expert_az

did you mean postscreen_greet_check on After greeting tests section of antispam tab?is this greylisting option?

marcelloc

enable zombie blocker with enforce at postfix antispam tab

take a look on the post screen link I've sent.
