      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?

                      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

                                  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?

                                            Installed on my pfSense Postfix Forwarder + Mailscanner. It all started, in the logs there are no errors, the mail goes through Postfix Forwarder (seen in the logs), but the feeling that the mail is not processed in Mailscanner. Because attaches are not cut, no entries in the logs. Where could be the problem? In the Third part Antispam Settings checkbox enabled, the package is selected.
