Message-ID: <761C20D9-FB37-43BD-AA99-F83A785440EE@ecs.soton.ac.uk> I have just released beta 4.55.8. This is intended to be the last beta before the next stable release at the start of August. The main changes to this are -- Postfix virtual user and virtual domain handling. It is especially important that you ensure I haven't broken anything here, it is relying on contributed code (which I rarely do!). -- Upgrade DBD-SQLite so that it builds more easily on many platforms. -- It should no longer matter if syslogd dies during execution. Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info Full change log is this: * New Features and Improvements * 1 Added educ.ar and uba.ar to country.domains.conf for less strict phishing net. 1 Code tidy up in Message constructor. 1 Speed improvements to ZMailer attachment extraction to keep up with the other MTAs. 1 "Log Speed = no" now does what it says on the tin. (UK in-joke :-) 1 Added "stopms" option to Linux init.d scripts. 1 Improved behaviour when %percentvars% at start of MailScanner.conf have not been configured at all. It now uses the fully-qualified hostname to guess the domain name and website address. It used to refuse to run which was very impolite. 1 Added Sys::Hostname::Long to list of required modules to implement the above. 2 Documentation rationalisation. Most up to date versions are all on the web. 3 Now output lock type in use with "--lint". 4 Improvement to Sophos.install for Sophos Version 5 so that email logging is disabled. 4 Now use syslog "notice" priority instead of "info" when issuing messages that are nearly warnings. This helps you drastically reduce the amount of syslog output by just logging priorities greater than or equal to "notice". 5 Added a "Contact Us" web page instead of just a mailto: link. 6 Improved Help guidance in Contact Us web page. 6 New command-line option: "-c" or "--changed". This will print out a table of all the configuration settings that have been changed from the default values hard-coded into MailScanner. Note this may not be quite the same as the differences from the supplied default MailScanner.conf file. 6 Updated hard-coded defaults to better match MailScanner.conf settings. 6 Improved handling of broken Custom Functions. Having a broken Custom Function will now just result in the setting's default value being used. 7 Bugfix for "--changed" printing when using Custom Functions. 8 Improved syslog-ing code so it doesn't matter is syslogd dies. 8 Upgraded DBD-SQLite to version 1.12 as it builds a lot more easily. 8 Improved handling of Postfix virtual users. Thanks to jpabuyer at tecnoera.com. * Fixes * 1 Put back in the checks of free disk space that were in 4.53.1 but then lost. 1 Fix in check_MailScanner for MacOSX. 3 Default lock type for sendmail is now posix, as it should be. 4 Fix to phishing net so that links to "www.domain.com." are accepted as legal. 6 Fixed problem with dangerous filenames in TNEF archives when using the external TNEF expander. 8 Fixed problem with long SpamAssassin report in report files getting truncated at % signs. 8 Fixed phishing net problem with some cases of outbind://\d+/....

Message-ID: I made the changes for a user so the maximum score is 4 for that user. It seems to be working. Is there a way to have the Spam Subject Text output to reflect the user's custom maximum score? Instead of... {{Spam?} Spam Score = 11 Limit=5 for that user, it would be... {{Spam?} Spam Score = 11 Limit=4 But for everyone else who is at at max score of 5, the text would reflect a max score of 5 in the subject text? -----Original Message----- From: Julian Field [mailto:MailScanner at ecs.soton.ac.uk] Sent: Monday, July 24, 2006 2:26 AM To: MailScanner Beta-testers Subject: Re: Beta 4.55.8 -- please test!

Now I'm seeing a whole lot of: Spam Checks completed at 1000000 bytes per second MCP Checks completed at 1000000 bytes per second Virus Processing completed at 1000000 bytes per second Disinfection completed at 1000000 bytes per second Not everything gives 1000000 for the "completed at" syslog statements, but most of the syslog output does. My setup is Solaris 10 (Sparc, 64 bit), with sophos and clamavmodule. I don't deliver cleaned messages, and I don't use MCP, so maybe I should not be seeing the "MCP check completed" and "Disinfection completed" timing syslogs at all -- they don't happen for me, right? When I was looking at the code, I wondered about the differences in logic in MessageBatch.pm between EndBatch (lines 102-108) and StopTiming (lines 136-166). The minimum cutoff for $totaltime = 1 unless $totaltime > ??? is different for the two sections. Is this really what you want?

So please be carefull and check what one you get via cpan. We manually fetched 0.17 and both the fc1 and fc4 are running now. Please before doing this test, upgrade to latest beta MS also, since then you dont have a defunctioning box when you get the wrong syslog vers ;) So, works! But be sure to get 0.17. Bye, Raymond.

Running 4.55.8-1 on Mac OSX 10.4.7 (Intel) without any problems. I have postfix virtual users all set up but haven't tested anything specific in MailScanner. At least all my users' mail is being delivered correctly so far (AFAICT anyway). The check_mailscanner patch for Darwin is working as advertised too :) Thanks! The DBD-SQLite installed without a hitch too.
