        is it normal?

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

        I'll check mailscanner user errors.

          @m.mascheroni:

          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 ?

          Any idea how to do this?
          Plus i would like to know if is there a method, a service or even a specific log file to check mailscanner activity.

            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.

                    Any news marcelloc, about clamav errors?

                    @Ivart:

                    Thanks marcelloc, service status is ok but the clamd error is the same:

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

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

                          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

                              I also run: pfBlocker, nrpe v2 and OpenVPN client.

                              Please advice.

                                I've problems with starting mailscanner after an update to pfSense 2.1.

                                service mailscanner start
                                Starting mailscanner.

                                I disabled mailscanner completely to keep receiving mail.

                                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:

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

                                    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.

                                      Your manual start failed cause you are using the wrong rc script.
                                      You have to use /usr/pbi/mailscanner-amd64/etc/rc.d/mailscanner start/stop
                                      If you don't have, create the link:

                                      ls -l /usr/local/sbin/mailscanner

                                      lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  43 Dec  2 18:33 /usr/local/sbin/mailscanner -> /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/.sbin/mailscanner
                                      adapt to your architecture (amd64)

                                        you advice to run: /usr/local/sbin/mailscanner (where mailscanner is in the hidden .sbin directory)

                                        ll /usr/local/sbin/mailscanner
                                        lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  43 Dec  8 06:37 /usr/local/sbin/mailscanner -> /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/.sbin/mailscanner

                                        Then mailscanner doesn't return an error but mailscanner is not started!

                                        ps ax | grep -i mailscanner
                                        19657  ??  Is    3:02.05 /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/sbin/clamd
                                        93386  0  R+    0:00.00 grep -i mailscanner

                                        The confusion starts with two mailscanner scripts:

                                        ll /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/sbin/mailscanner
                                        -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  67459 Dec  8 06:40 /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/sbin/mailscanner
                                        ll /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/.sbin/mailscanner
                                        -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  8956 Dec  6 17:04 /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/.sbin/mailscanner

                                        Restarting mailscanner in the GUI doesn't work either.

                                        Pls advice

                                        Regards

                                        Bob

                                          I am not able to set this:

                                          Sign Clean Message = no

                                          I created the file:
                                          /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/etc/MailScanner/conf.d/custom.conf
                                          and put there the option and restart mailscanner, but nothing happens.

                                          some help ?
                                          thanks

                                            Hi Marcello,

                                            Did you try MailWatch on 2.1 ?
                                            You said in another post that in 2.0 it breaks pfsense php…

                                            The most wanted feature of mailwatch is probably the Quarantine management.
                                            Is it still in the roadmap for mailscanner ?

                                            Thanks
