      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?

        Hi Marcello, how can i totally disable Attachment scan and replace?

        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!

          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

                            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.

                                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

                                      Anyone,

                                      I'm facing a problem with receiving mails from a customer who send their mail via a Trend Micro service.

                                      My firewall is accepting mail on port 25 except for this customer I see blocked rules in the firewall log.

                                      e.g.

                                      block Jan 6 18:09:00 WAN 150.70.239.23:54950 192.168.1.254:25 TCP:S
                                      block Jan 6 18:09:03 WAN 150.70.239.23:54950 192.168.1.254:25 TCP:S

                                      Add the easy rule doesn't fix the problem.

                                      I have postfix forwarder and the mailscanner enabled. I also add all Trend Micro related ip addresses to the firewall.

                                      Please advice to start receiving these Trend Micro routed mails.

                                        @marcelloc:

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

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

                                        marcelloc, any solution for clamd permission problem?

                                          So my company started getting the cryptolocker virus being sent through spam email recently.  Definitly need an email scanner now.  Saw this package, but it looks really in depth.  Is there any documentation out there other than the random stuff in this thread?

                                          Found this thread via the package info link in the packages plugin.

                                            Hi,

                                            can someone give me the location of the mailscanner startup script and the size of the file + permissions?

                                            It seems so as my startup script ist empty.

                                            Thanks alot and best regards,
                                            Christian
