It appears that the libiconv-1.13.1_1.tbz file has vanished from the http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/8/All/ site for the i386 mailscanner-dev install.

The installer then attempts to locate it at the http://ftp2.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/All/ URL, which doesn't exist.

Thus the install is aborted. Any hints on how to resolve this?

marcelloc

I've pushed the missing file.

Try to reinstall it.

hammeraus001

No luck. Install halted at the same spot. Checked the http://e-sac.siteseguro.ws/pfsense/8/All/ URL and the file still isn't listed.

Below is the output from the instllation script:

Try again.

Since I finish the force perl version issue of this package, files will be available at official repo.

Any ideas?

This was working perfectly (and had been for weeks and without any changes) until yesterday.

marcelloc

This package had no changes on last months but I'll check.

Resolved the dcc_conf issue, with a chmod 744 on /usr/local/dcc/dcc_conf.

All I have now is the following:

May 14 12:48:45 php: : Config sync not being done because of missing sync IP (normal on secondary systems).

Mailscanner exists:

Mailscanner isn't running:

Testing a VM of a clean AMD install. Will advise how it goes.

hammeraus001

The clean install on the VM is working perfectly. I have redirected all SMTP traffic through the new VM for the time being and will rebuild the firewall on the weekend (love this "out of hours" stuff ;)).

Thanks for your help, fast responses and most of all the combination "mailscanner + spamassassin + clamav" package. Brilliant work!

marcelloc

I've pushed some updates to improve boot process, and checks to perl version and config files.

The clean install now, select all default options.

Hi,

I would like to disable the change on email subject when mailscanner "disarm" an email.
So I modified Mailscanner.conf and the line "Disarmed Modify Subject = no"
but it comes back to its previous settings "Disarmed Modify Subject = start" on reboot.

What can I do ?

Thanks

marcelloc

@ics:

What can I do ?

change /usr/local/pkg/mailscanner.conf.template and apply changes.

@marcelloc:

Thanks for the reply.

This file doesn't exist so I modified the file /usr/local/pkg/mailscanner.inc
And it seems to work :)

marcelloc

Will be there when you update/upgrade the package. :)

And about updates, is there a procedure to update packages ?
Or I just need to click on "Reinstall this package" in the package manager ?

Normally, just update.

A backup first is always a good idea. :)
