        hi

        first of all thank you for a great package marcelloc. im using postfix forwarder and it's doing great job but my question is do i need  mailscanner + spamassassin + clamav package ?

        my pfsense 2.1-RELEASE (amd64) has only 1.5 GB. will it struggle with the additional overhead of mailscanner + spamassassin + clamav package ?

        Thanks for any input

        yaboc

          Disable pyzor checks and see if spamassassin starts working.

          Hi Marcello

          I found that the problem is bayes
          If I disable 'use bayes (YES)'  spamassassin starts!
          I've tried sa-learn –sync, but it didn't fixed

          here the spamassassin -D --lint output

            Hi,

            I have a huge quantity of msg files in /usr/local/dcc/log (about 3GB).
            It seems to be very old emails as well as recent emails (maybe all email since the installation).

            What are these files ?
            Can I delete it safely ?
            Is there a setting to do in order to stop the retention of this emails in this folder ?

            Thanks

              reply to myself.
              I found the solution: add /usr/local/dcc/libexec/cron-dccd in my crontab.

                  @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?

                  Marcelo any solution? How can I change user to root to make antivirus (clamd) work again with MailScanner?

                    Add the user clamav.

                    Worked for me.

                      I can´t do that. Please explain how to register a clamav user that is reserved for system.

                        Add the user clamav.

                        Worked for me.

                        I can´t do that. Please explain how to register a clamav user that is reserved for system.

                        What do you mean you cant do that?

                        You don't have access to the GUI?

                        Regards,

                            I can´t change config file MailScanner.conf in /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/etc/MailScanner, I´m trying to change user to  root and disable "Sign clean messages", but after postfix restart or pfSense reboot settings still unchanged.

                            Run As User = postfix > root
                            Run As Group = postfix > root
                            Sign Clean Messages = yes > no

                            I trying to fix clamd permission issue as marcelloc replied in previous post: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,43687.msg380590.html#msg380590

                              Ok I found a post telling to change MailScanner.conf.template in /usr/local/pkg in order to change main MailScanner.conf, so MailScanner is running with user and group "root" but the error persists whith clamd:

                              Clamd::ERROR:: UNKNOWN CLAMD RETURN ./lstat() failed: Permission denied. ERROR :: /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/95705

                              I don´t know what to do to fix because antivirus isn´t working.

                                After 2.1.3 upgrade I needed to add:

                                ln -fs /usr/pbi/postfix-i386/sbin/sendmail /usb/sbin/sendmail

                                Giaco

                                  Is it possible to disable the Mailscanner inline sig from the web gui ?
                                  At the moment I erased the content of the two files: inline.sig.txt and inline.sig.html.
                                  But I have to do at each update.

                                    Giaco, if you want to remove inline signature
                                    Install Filer package to keep  files after updates, load in Filer file /usr/local/pkg/mailscanner.conf.template and edit these lines, save and after that restart MailScanner

                                    
                                    Sign Messages Already Processed = no
                                    Sign Clean Messages = no

                                      @marcelloc:

                                      I use it with Message Hold mode= manual using acls

                                      and I put /^from:/ HOLD on header acls

                                      What are the differences between:

                                      /^Received:/ HOLD or /^From:/ HOLD

                                      on postfix header_check ?

                                        I use splunk to analyze logs, but I would like to use also the sqlite search system integrated with postfix pkg.
                                        Is there the way to use both /var/log/maillog and system logs as logging destinations ?

                                          How to fix this?

                                          I've tried to install the missing modules manually in:

                                          /usr/pbi/mailscanner-amd64/lib/perl5

                                          and

                                          /usr/local/lib/perl5

                                          but nothing changed?

                                          2.1.3-RELEASE (amd64)

                                            Can we please have a change log for the new 0.2.6 version? Thanks.

                                            Unrar virus scanning is broken, I've fixed it by installing the pkg's via

                                            pkg_add -r unrar

                                            even unrar already exists in /usr/pbi/mailscanner-amd64/bin?
