      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).'
      Dec 8 17:31:39 root: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailscanner: WARNING: failed to start mailscanner

      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

                Hello Marcelloc, after update mailscanner fails with SpamAssassin, and I think not scanning messages anymore.
                Maillog showing messages below in loop.

                    @marcelloc:

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

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

                    Have you found any solution for clamd error?

                      Setting Maximum Archive depth to 0 did the trick.
                      A reboot is also necessary because somehow a service restart throw an error not having permission to stop and restart postfix.

                        I've still problems with starting MailScanner.

                        I did a fresh install of pfSense 2.1 and restored my config. But still a red cross for MailScanner.

                        When I start MailScanner manually, I get these messages:

                        Stopping mailscanner.
                        Waiting for PIDS: 8725.
                        Starting mailscanner.
                        /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/libexec/MailScanner/mailscanner_create_locks: not found

                        I believe the permissions on the Locks directory are right.

                        drwxr-xr-x  2 postfix  wheel  512 Dec 17 21:37 Locks

                        Pls advice.

                          I'm not getting this folder permission error but I've pushed fixes to service status and pyzor checks.

                          Try to reinstall the package.

                            Hi

                            I've upgrade the mailscanner pkg to 4.84.5_3 pkg v.0.2.4 but I've still problems with spamassassin.
                            If I turn on spam check, every MailScanner children go zombie and from logs I can only see:
                            mailscanner: Process did not exit cleanly, returned 0 with signal 11
                            If I try /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/bin/spamassassin –lint I don't see syntax error
                            The daemon is running:

                            ps aux | grep spamd

                            I don't know what to try...
                            There is the way to pass custom directives to mailscanner ?

                            thanks

                              Disable pyzor checks and see if spamassassin starts working.

                                      Mailscanner daemon should be perl_mailscanner instead of perl 5.16. Are you sure you reinstalled it?

                                      Amd64 version still has perl 5.14

                                        What you get with

                                        Spamassassin –lint

                                        And sa-update

                                        /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/bin/spamassassin –lint

                                        /usr/pbi/mailscanner-i386/bin/sa-update

                                        it seems all normal.

                                          Marcello,

                                          I did a fresh install with pfSense 2.1 install pfblocker, nrpe, postfix forwarder, mailscanner and openvpn.
                                          At your advice I did remove mailscanner and reinstalled it again.

                                            Is it working now?
