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');

@Unubtanium:

Just to let you know that i also did get this error too and had to run the chown command to fix it.

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

Hi All,

I have the following packages installed.
Asterisk
mailreport
mailscanner-dev
postfix forwarder
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.

rbblue8

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

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.
