Mailscanner + spamassassin + clamav package

Ivart

@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?

serialdie

Under –- System ----- User Manager

Add the user clamav.

Worked for me.

@serialdie:

Under –- System ----- User Manager

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?

serialdie, when I try do insert new user with name "clamav" pfSens reply The following input errors were detected: That username is reserved by the system.

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

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

Ivart

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)
built on Thu May 01 15:52:13 EDT 2014
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p16

mailscanner 4.84.6 pkg v.0.2.5

Bismarck

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.

Hi guys,

Guess this could be more of a mental healthcheck :)

In my MailScanner.conf file I have the follolwing entries:

Phishing Safe Sites File = %etc-dir%/phishing.safe.sites.conf
Phishing Bad Sites File = %etc-dir%/phishing.bad.sites.conf
Country Sub-Domains List = %etc-dir%/country.domains.conf

I have noticed that the content of these never update, the file timestamp never chanegs as well.

Should these file update? I cannot see an option within MailScanner to updates (or schedule) and nothing in Cron is jumping out at me?

To be honest I am not even sure what other .conf or clamav files should update? (EDIT- ahh just realised clamav is installed with postfix. Still not finding info on the other.conf files though)

Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance for you help.

Cheers

Bismarck

MailScanner uses spamassassin, so you need to check

**/var/db/spamassassin/3.004000 >

/var/db/spamassassin/3.004000/updates_spamassassin_org**

for updates. Execute

/usr/local/bin/sa-update -v –no-gpg

and look if anything is changing in the above shown paths.

Anyone has installed the MAilscanner 4.84.6 pkg v.0.2.10, because I did it and then probe again in a fresh installation of pfsense 2.1.5 but the service doesn't start.
Also when I change the configuration from the gui it didn't update de mailscanner.conf file.
Thanks.

I just recently updated my pfSense from 2.1 to 2.1.5 and found that my Mailscanner (4.84.6 pkg v.0.2.10) service would not start. In order for Mailscanner to start properly on my system, I had to fix the file directory pointer in /usr/local/pkg/mailscanner.inc on line 37

current line is if ($pf_version != "2.1")

new line to if ($pf_version != "2.1.5")

This was the simplest way for me to fix the MailScanner configuration for 2.1.5. I'm sure there is a more proper way to fix this issue and I welcome insight, but as I said, it was the simplest path for me.

I had to reinstall my pfsense today. Restored my packages from a backup file and mailscanner failed to load.

Using the fix from EHN_Helpdesk worked for me.

Cheers

PS: Thanks very much EHN_Helpdesk for the fix. I would have never ever worked that out for myself.
