      @Amirkabir:

      Can you write a mini how-to for mailscanner package?

      Configure package from left to right. All default options are in (yes/no)

          Yes. Install Postfix and then MailScanner, enable MailScanner in Antispam section of Postfix, Third part Antispam Settings.

            I have 2 question about this package.

            First of all i have installed it on a PFsense 2.1 appliance and it works perfectly, the mails flow without problem to a frakking Exchange 2007 Server.

            My questions are:

            1. how can modify the mail subject adding [SPAM] if the mail get  > 5 spam points?

            2. how can i setup a whitelist and blacklist based on mail address, maybe with wildcards for example *@contoso.com ?

                is it normal?

                Does your postfix log errors stopped on Nov 16 or still alerting?

                I'll check mailscanner user errors.

                    IIRC, just select send action on antispam tab.

                    it's on postfix log(/var/log/maillog).

                      Well, probably mailscanner was not active, i believe that change in Postfix Forwarder settings  "Message Hold mode" from auto to manual acl and setting headers with /^from:/ HOLD did the trick.

                      Now all spam emails are tagged with [SPAM?] prefix or [Disarmed] prefix. Now it's perfect.

                      From previous posts on this thread i've found out that is better to set the log to /var/log/maillog, now it's easier to check postfix and mailscanner activity with a simple tail command.

                      Thank you for your time and for your precious work.

                      I still need to figure out how to setup a local whitelist.

                              I could get it working only if I change user to root.

                              I'll keep trying to use it with unprivileged user.

                                  Strange thing here today:

                                  Dec  2 17:31:54 172.16.0.201 Dec  2 17:32:58 mailscanner: Process did not exit cleanly, returned 0 with signal 11

                                  Tried to reinstall the pkg, and disable virus and spam scan, but the problem persist.
                                  Each Mailscanner children go zombie.
                                  I also noticed that when disableing the third part scan from the postfix forwarder package mail remain in hold in queue (manually removed /^Received:/ HOLD  from header_checks). New mails arrive, but old mails stay in the queue.

                                    I think I've isolated the problem.
                                    I it's all about SpamAssassin
                                    with Use SpamAssassin = no in MailScanner.conf it starts

                                        have you tried to reinstall the mailscanner pkg ?

                                          Hi Giacomo,

                                          Yes, I did reinstall the package… but same result.
                                          Even a fresh install did not fixed the problem. (Fresh install from 2.0.3 with update to 2.1)

                                            I am experiencing the same results of MailScanner on my pfSense 2.0.1 upgrade to 2.1-Release but on the AMD64 platform as ikbendeman.  I even performed a clean install of pfSense 2.1-Release, then Postfix, then MailScanner.  I have re-installed MailScanner package several times but it still fails to start with this response:

                                            Dec 8 16:00:17 root: /usr/pbi/mailscanner-amd64/etc/rc.d/mailscanner: WARNING: failed to start mailscanner
                                            Dec 8 16:00:17 php: /pkg_edit.php: The command '/usr/pbi/mailscanner-amd64/etc/rc.d/mailscanner start' returned exit code '1', the output was 'Starting mailscanner. eval: /usr/pbi/mailscanner-amd64/sbin/mailscanner: not found /usr/pbi/mailscanner-amd64/etc/rc.d/mailscanner: WARNING: failed to start mailscanner'

                                            When I try and manually start from the Services GUI, I get this:

                                            Dec 8 17:31:37 php: /status_services.php: The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailscanner stop' returned exit code '1', the output was 'mailscanner not running? (check /var/run/MailScanner.pid).'

                                            Being that pfSense 2.1 uses a different tree directory, it seems that MailScanner (4.84.5_3 pkg v.0.2.2 ) is not ready for pfSense 2.1.

                                            I would hate to have to downgrade pfSense to 2.0.1 in order for MailScanner to work right.
