      100% default install, few days old as a matter of fact.

      Installed mailscanner package, will not start at all.

      Installed squid and squidguard as per this:

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-6_13P8pS8

      Seemed straight forward enough.  Initially got 100% invalid request errors on web pages.  Then restarted squid service, paged loaded.  squidguard simply will not start at all no matter what I try.  I rebooted the firewall for a "clean" load of everything, and mailscanner, squid, squidguard, and ntpd all failed to start.

      No web pages were accessible at all.  I have now turned off the transparent proxy and disabled squidguard (still not running) just to get access to this site so I can post this in the forums.

      Have never in three years got squid and squidguard successfully installed and working 100%.  Figured I'd give it another try with the latest updates, hadn't tried in about six months.  Still can't get it to work.  Aside from the minor customizations listed in the video, everything else on this install is default.  Still won't work, still won't start squidguard service.

      No idea what's wrong with mailscanner, seems to be a pretty simple and straight-forward install and set up.

      Trying to get rid of the untangle bridge I have had running behind pfsense for the last three years and consolidate.  So far no luck.

      Any advice appreciated.

      Immediately following clean reboot:

        As far as I am aware your need to have postfix  installed first to use mailscanner.  Postfix is a bit busted right now I understand with 2.2.x but their is a workaround as well I believe. (check the postfix thread).  I cannot say though if mailscanner is working on 2.2.x

        So far I've not moved from 2.1.5 , postfix and mailscanner are working ok.

        I don't use squid so cannot comment on that.
