      I am not able to set this:

      Sign Clean Message = no

      I created the file:
      /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/etc/MailScanner/conf.d/custom.conf
      and put there the option and restart mailscanner, but nothing happens.

      some help ?
      thanks

        Hi Marcello,

        Did you try MailWatch on 2.1 ?
        You said in another post that in 2.0 it breaks pfsense php…

        The most wanted feature of mailwatch is probably the Quarantine management.
        Is it still in the roadmap for mailscanner ?

        Thanks

          Hello Marcelloc, after update mailscanner fails with SpamAssassin, and I think not scanning messages anymore.
          Maillog showing messages below in loop.

          MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner version 4.84.5 starting…
          MailScanner[99955]: Reading configuration file /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf

              @marcelloc:

              I could get it working only if I change user to root.

              I'll keep trying to use it with unprivileged user.

              Have you found any solution for clamd error?

                Setting Maximum Archive depth to 0 did the trick.
                A reboot is also necessary because somehow a service restart throw an error not having permission to stop and restart postfix.

                  I've still problems with starting MailScanner.

                  I did a fresh install of pfSense 2.1 and restored my config. But still a red cross for MailScanner.

                  When I start MailScanner manually, I get these messages:

                  Stopping mailscanner.
                  Waiting for PIDS: 8725.
                  Starting mailscanner.
                  /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/libexec/MailScanner/mailscanner_create_locks: not found
                  Error: Attempt to create locks in /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Locks failed!
                  /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/libexec/MailScanner/mailscanner_create_locks: not found
                  Error: Attempt to create locks in /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Locks failed!

                  I believe the permissions on the Locks directory are right.

                  drwxr-xr-x  2 postfix  wheel  512 Dec 17 21:37 Locks

                  Pls advice.

                  Bob

                    I'm not getting this folder permission error but I've pushed fixes to service status and pyzor checks.

                    Try to reinstall the package.

                      Hi

                      I've upgrade the mailscanner pkg to 4.84.5_3 pkg v.0.2.4 but I've still problems with spamassassin.
                      If I turn on spam check, every MailScanner children go zombie and from logs I can only see:
                      mailscanner: Process did not exit cleanly, returned 0 with signal 11
                      If I try /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/bin/spamassassin –lint I don't see syntax error
                      The daemon is running:

                      ps aux | grep spamd

                      root    60399  0.0  0.8 36664 34000  ??  Ss    3Dec13  4:16.37 /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/bin/spamd -c -d -r /var/run/spamd/spamd.pid (perl)
                      root    70258  0.0  0.9 37688 34692  ??  I    3Dec13  0:02.40 spamd child (perl)
                      root    70542  0.0  0.8 36664 34000  ??  I    3Dec13  0:02.44 spamd child (perl)

                      I don't know what to try...
                      There is the way to pass custom directives to mailscanner ?

                      thanks

                      Giacomo

                        Disable pyzor checks and see if spamassassin starts working.

                                Mailscanner daemon should be perl_mailscanner instead of perl 5.16. Are you sure you reinstalled it?

                                Amd64 version still has perl 5.14

                                  it seems all normal.

                                    Marcello,

                                    I did a fresh install with pfSense 2.1 install pfblocker, nrpe, postfix forwarder, mailscanner and openvpn.
                                    At your advice I did remove mailscanner and reinstalled it again.

                                      Marcello,

                                      I did a fresh install with pfSense 2.1 install pfblocker, nrpe, postfix forwarder, mailscanner and openvpn.
                                      At your advice I did remove mailscanner and reinstalled it again.

                                      Is it working now?

                                        No it's not working… upgrade from previous pfSense release also fails.

                                        I don't understand why so few people experience these problems.

                                          I just want to inform you that did a reboot of the firewall and now all services are green including mailscanner.

                                          Thanks for your support.

                                            Dear all,

                                            I have running pfSense 2.1 with Postfix Forwarder 2.10.2 pkg v2.3.7 and MailScanner 4.84.5_3 pkg v.0.2.4. Postfix is set in the section of "Third part Antispam Settings" to make use of MailScanner in "Auto mode".

                                            When having a look into Status -> Services, I see, that MailScanner is not startet (postfix is startet).
                                            A 'ps -aux' did not show a running MailScanner process.

                                            The output of:
                                            ls -l /usr/pbi/mailscanner-amd64/etc/rc.d/mailscanner
                                            shows an empty file

                                            Is this correct?
                                            As far as I know, it should be the startup script.

                                            Any ideas how to solve the problem?

                                            Thanks alot and best regards,
                                            Christian
