Hope this will give you a little bit inside.

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

Amd64 version still has perl 5.14

/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?

ikbendeman

Marcello,

No it's not working… upgrade from previous pfSense release also fails.

I don't understand why so few people experience these problems.

ikbendeman

Marcello,

I just want to inform you that did a reboot of the firewall and now all services are green including mailscanner.

Thanks for your support.

Dear all,

I have running pfSense 2.1 with Postfix Forwarder 2.10.2 pkg v2.3.7 and MailScanner 4.84.5_3 pkg v.0.2.4. Postfix is set in the section of "Third part Antispam Settings" to make use of MailScanner in "Auto mode".

When having a look into Status -> Services, I see, that MailScanner is not startet (postfix is startet).
A 'ps -aux' did not show a running MailScanner process.

The output of:
ls -l /usr/pbi/mailscanner-amd64/etc/rc.d/mailscanner
shows an empty file

Is this correct?
As far as I know, it should be the startup script.

Any ideas how to solve the problem?

Thanks alot and best regards,
Christian

Anyone,

I'm facing a problem with receiving mails from a customer who send their mail via a Trend Micro service.

My firewall is accepting mail on port 25 except for this customer I see blocked rules in the firewall log.

e.g.

block Jan 6 18:09:00 WAN 150.70.239.23:54950 192.168.1.254:25 TCP:S
block Jan 6 18:09:03 WAN 150.70.239.23:54950 192.168.1.254:25 TCP:S

Add the easy rule doesn't fix the problem.

I have postfix forwarder and the mailscanner enabled. I also add all Trend Micro related ip addresses to the firewall.

Please advice to start receiving these Trend Micro routed mails.

@marcelloc:

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

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

marcelloc, any solution for clamd permission problem?

So my company started getting the cryptolocker virus being sent through spam email recently. Definitly need an email scanner now. Saw this package, but it looks really in depth. Is there any documentation out there other than the random stuff in this thread?

Found this thread via the package info link in the packages plugin.

ckoehler

Hi,

can someone give me the location of the mailscanner startup script and the size of the file + permissions?

It seems so as my startup script ist empty.

Thanks alot and best regards,
Christian

hi

first of all thank you for a great package marcelloc. im using postfix forwarder and it's doing great job but my question is do i need mailscanner + spamassassin + clamav package ?

my pfsense 2.1-RELEASE (amd64) has only 1.5 GB. will it struggle with the additional overhead of mailscanner + spamassassin + clamav package ?

Thanks for any input

@marcelloc:

Disable pyzor checks and see if spamassassin starts working.

Hi Marcello

I found that the problem is bayes
If I disable 'use bayes (YES)' spamassassin starts!
I've tried sa-learn –sync, but it didn't fixed

here the spamassassin -D --lint output

Hi,

I have a huge quantity of msg files in /usr/local/dcc/log (about 3GB).
It seems to be very old emails as well as recent emails (maybe all email since the installation).

What are these files ?
Can I delete it safely ?
Is there a setting to do in order to stop the retention of this emails in this folder ?

Thanks

ics

reply to myself.
I found the solution: add /usr/local/dcc/libexec/cron-dccd in my crontab.
