      Just a question, did you checked VirusScanning(yes) and Virus scanner =clamd on mailscanner antivirus tab?

      I've checked the code and it looks for user clamav on clamd.conf file

      
      #check virus_scanner options
      $libexec_dir="/usr/local/libexec/MailScanner/";
      if ($virus_scanning == "yes"){
      	if ($antivirus['virus_scanner'] =="none"){
      		unlink_if_exists($libexec_dir.'clamav-autoupdate');
      		unlink_if_exists($libexec_dir.'clamav-wrapper');
      	}
      else{
      .
      .
      .
      #clamd conf file
      $cconf="/usr/local/etc/clamd.conf";
      if (file_exists($conf)){
      	$cconf_file=file_get_contents($cconf);
      	if (preg_match('/User clamav/',$cconf_file)){
      		$cconf_file=preg_replace("/User clamav/","User postfix",$cconf_file);
      		file_put_contents($cconf, $cconf_file, LOCK_EX);
      		}
      	}

        	}
        
        

        All my boxes had virus scanner = auto.  Maybe that is why I always have to configure it manually?

        Maybe you should default it in your package to clamd instead of auto?

          I've checked the code and it looks for user clamav on clamd.conf file

          I just checked an it was set to:
          VirusScanning(yes) Do not even know how to change this or turn on any options that have (no)Guess i have to modify some config files or something. Google will answer me i hope.  ;D Aha ()=default and if it is selected it is on right?

          Virus scanner was set to auto

          So what is recommended i do?
          Change user back to clamav and set it to use clameav?  
          And should i be able to see in the logs that any emails is scanned and passes the scan?
          Reason for asking is that i can not see anything like that in the log files in regards to avscan of emails..
          This is what i see in the log for an incoming email:

            The php code checks for virus_scanning == "yes" and 'virus_scanner' != none

            so auto or clamd will result on the same config check.

              Again sorry for noob questions.

              Leave the user as postfix or it will not work.

              in /var/log/maillog you should see something like this on accepted mail.

              Jul 24 17:41:23 6460_a_51st MailScanner[4124]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages, 50753 bytes
              Jul 24 17:41:23 6460_a_51st MailScanner[4124]: Virus and Content Scanning: Starting

              First though you need to configure postfix to hold the mail in the que so it can be scanned with something like this.

              in the gui for postfix
              click the access lists tab
              and put something like this "/^from:/ HOLD"

              You also need to configure the recipients tab as well as the antispam tab

              If you look to the botom of the antispam page:

              Check use third party anti spam
              I use message hold mode "manual mode using acls"
              mailscanner+spam assassin + clamav

                  The package works great once you get it set up.

                  Marcelloc helped me a lot. Just trying to return the favor.

                  Just any FYI.  If you are going to use active directory to extract your valid recipients.  You need to make sure you install p5-perl-ldap.

                            Yes, maiscanner runs with postfix user.

                            chown ('/var/spool/postfix','postfix');

                              Just to let you know that i also did get this error too and had to run the chown command to fix it.

                              I'm not getting this error but I've included this folder check on mailscanner.inc file.

                                Hi All,

                                I have the following packages installed.
                                Asterisk
                                mailreport

                                postfix forwarder
                                squid3

                                Mailscanner refuses to load with the following.

                                mailscanner

                                  check if you have multiple perl version on your pfsense.

                                  type pkg_info | grep -i perl on console/ssh

                                    I did a fresh install of pfsense today and installed packages in the following order.  It looks like squid3 broke mailscanner for I was able to run mailscanner from command line until i installed squid.

                                    Working Install
                                    mailscanner-dev
                                    Asterisk
                                    postfix
                                    squid3 – breaks it.

                                      perhaps it's the perl-threaded-5.12.4_4 Practical Extraction and Report Languag package.

                                            I did the following.
                                            Installed squid3
                                            pkg_info | grep -i perl
                                            pkg_delete -f perl-5.12.4_3
                                            pkg_delete -f perl-threaded-5.12.4_4
                                            rm -rf /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.4

                                            Reinstalled mail scanner

                                            works.  Thanks!
