      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

        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.

                Thanks Bismark

                Well now that I have my mailscanner running I can see that spamassassin data is changing inside  /var/db/spamassassin/3.004000 when I run the update command (with no errors).

                I am still seeing that these files are still not updating:

                Phishing Safe Sites File = /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/etc/MailScanner/phishing.safe.sites.conf
                Phishing Bad Sites File = /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/etc/MailScanner/phishing.bad.sites.conf
                Country Sub-Domains List = /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/etc/MailScanner/country.domains.conf

                Phishing Bad Sites for example is still stating:

                This file was generated at Mon Mar  5 14:20:01 GMT 2012

                I can see form here a newer version:

                http://www.mailscanner.eu/phishing.bad.sites.conf.master

                Do I need to add another command into cron to get these updated, or?

                Cheers all again for your great support.

                  /usr/local/libexec/MailScanner/update_bad_phishing_sites.cron

                  Looks like this update script is broken, the only way to update is manually via the pfsense webgui. But anyway thats just a very small anti-phishing mechanism of mailscanner, the real power comes with spamassassin.

                  Subscribe few SA channels and keep them updated via shell script/cron.

                    @marcelloc:

                    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

                    http://nopaste.info/2ebbbaca23.html

                    Giacomo

                    After latest upgrades (pfsense 2.1.5 and mailscanner 4.84.6 pkg v.0.2.10) I am able to use Spamassassin and Bayes.
                    But while mails are coming from the console I see :

                    ps aux | grep Z
                    USER      PID %CPU %MEM  VSZ  RSS  TT  STAT STARTED      TIME COMMAND

                    "Process did not exit cleanly, returned 0 with signal 11"

                    some hint to debug this ?
                    thanks

                        Hi gang,

                        Got a couple of queries again  :P

                        Anyone noticing that the SpamAssassin rules are not updating recently?

                        Am using the sa-update command in cron once a day but the version is not increasing in "/var/db/spamassassin/3.004000" from "# UPDATE version 1640695"  I can tell for sure as the time stamps for the files are not changing for at least a couple of weeks now I reckon.  I've run the sa-update command manually which states no updates are available from updates.spamassassin.org.  So does this mean the version of spamassassin we have is now out of date/unsupported?

                        Also..anyone had any luck in updating the "phishing.bad.sites.conf" and "phishing.safe.sites.conf" under "/usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/etc/MailScanner" ?

                        I've run this command manually and it does update the file in question but MailScanner does not show/see the updated file in the gui.

                        /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/bin/wget -O /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/etc/MailScanner/phishing.bad.sites.conf http://www.mailscanner.eu/phishing.bad.sites.conf /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/etc/MailScanner/phishing.bad.sites.conf

                        I've tried stop, start and restart commands in the following location after the update (as well as a full reboot):

                        /etc/rc.d/init.d/mailsacanner
                        /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/etc/rc.d/mailscanner
                        /usr/local/bin/spamassassin

                        But the gui doe snot update with the new data.

                        I've been blundering around the internet for a couple of days trying to figure this out. The above is just what my limited intellect to freebsd has discovered and even more limted to my understanding.

                        If anyone has go the above going can you please be so kind to share your scripts etc?

                        Cheers all

                          As 2.2 is almost on RC, fixes to 2.1 packages must be pushed as soon as possible.

                          who knows php and what is missing on the package, the best way is to create a pull request on packages.

                          I'll try to include missing perl libs to package build options.

                          But something I know is that link to external downlad sites other then pfsense is not permited on package repos.

                          What is broken on mailscanner? I'm pushing some fixes to packages on 2.2

                            Hi

                            I am tryng to drop .exe attachments directly from postfix.
                            Using the example configuration in the mime section:

                            /^name=[^>]*.(com|vbs|js|jse|exe|bat|cmd|vxd|scr|hlp|pif|shs|ini|dll)/ REJECT W do not allow files of type "$3" because of security concerns - "$2" caused the block.
                            /^Content-(Disposition|Type):\s+.+?(?:file)?name="?.+?.(386|ad[ept]|drv|em(ai)?l|ex[_e]|xms|{[\da-f]{8}(?:-[\da-f]{4}){3}-[\da-f]{12}})\b/ REJECT ".$2" file attachment types not allowed

                            it doesn't work, and from the logs I see:
                            warning: pcre map /usr/pbi/postfix-i386/etc/postfix/mime_check, line 1: out of range replacement index "3": skipping this rule

                            The files are quarantined by Mailscanner, but I would like to drop themt as soon as possible.
                            Any hints ?

                            thank you

                                It may help you out.

                                  Hi marcelloc,

                                  mailscanner creates way more children then the standard "5" which are set up in the gui.

                                  How to fix that?

                                    @marcelloc:

                                    What is broken on mailscanner? I'm pushing some fixes to packages on 2.2

                                    Does the reporting (Notices to System Administrators) works ?
                                    I have to manually modify the Mailscanner.conf

                                    Send Notices = yes
                                    Notices Include Full Headers = yes
                                    Hide Incoming Work Dir in Notices = no
                                    Notice Signature = – \nMailScanner\nEmail Virus Scanner\nwww.mailscanner.info
                                    Notices From =                                    <–------
                                    Notices To =                                        <–------
                                    Local Postmaster = Postmaster              <–------

                                    Giacomo

                                    A bit late but, better now than never. ;)

                                    I fixed (workaround) this by creating a file in

                                    /usr/pbi/mailscanner-amd64/etc/MailScanner/conf.d/my.conf

                                    and add

                                    Notices From = mailscanner@mydoamin.tld
                                    Notices To = admin@mydoamin.tld

                                    And restart mailscanner, from now on you will get email notification from infected files that have been blocked.

                                    This file also can used to add any extra config which otherwise will be ignored/overwritten in the Mailscanner.conf (eg. Max Spam Check Size etc.).

                                    Another problem I've noticed is that Org name (eg. pfSense in this case) is not correctly inherited to bayes_ignore_header at:

                                    Services: MailScanner > AntiSpam (Tab) > spam.assassin.prefs.conf

                                    bayes_ignore_header pfSense-MailScanner

                                    the X- is missing here and should look like instead:

                                    bayes_ignore_header **X-**pfSense-MailScanner

                                    This needs to be fixed in:

                                    /usr/local/pkg/mailscanner.inc

                                    and edit line 494 like:

                                    $replacement[]="bayes_ignore_header X-".($mailscanner['orgname']!=""?$mailscanner['orgname']:"Pfsense")."-MailScanner";

                                    So bayes can ignore those headers and don't waste tokens for that.

                                      I think there is a typo in the file /usr/local/pkg/mailscanner.conf.template

                                      39 Incoming Work User = postix
40 Incoming Work Group = postix
47 Quarantine User = postifx

                                      I also think that these two lines do not work, because when I put the values in the web interface, in the config lines left blank.

                                      307 Notices From = ${$notice_from}
308 Notices To = ${$notice_to}

                                      P.S. i have pfSense 2.1.5 and mailscanner 0.2.11

                                        Hi!

                                        Mailscanner blocks the content of messages and replace its contents for unknown reasons.
                                        Help to understand please.
                                        Here is a letter received at the reception and log pfsense.

                                          Hi,

                                          I am in no way an expert here but I can see this entry in your log:

                                          Message 09C0521EADE.A9E2B from x.x.x.x (remoteuser) to mydomain is too big for spam checks (644494 > 200000 bytes)

                                          That is 0.2 megabytes.

                                          Have you changed the maximum email message size?  Without looking at my setup and If I remember correctly you can change this value in Postfix and Mailscanner.

                                            Jan 29 10:40:47 mail postfix/smtp[66901]: warning: host 10.10.2.2[10.10.2.2]:25 greeted me with my own hostname mail.mydomain

                                            It looks like your internal mailhost using the same name as the pfSense/Postfix relay, you better change this. Nothing critical…
