Just downloaded the latest beta (other Linux) and it appears that the

use Acme::Bleach;

and then cannot read the rest of the file ?

But have you tried running it? It should still work okay. Give it a try.
Do *not* try editing the files :-)
And you can read it, it's just blank. Lots of blank.

Jules,

I have installed Acme::Bleach and it still fails on the use line.

Is MailScanner going commercial now then, as the source has been hidden ?

Hmmm, reading about Bleach it appears that it makes the code non-portable ?

There have been a lot of problems with bleach in past years, caused lots of
problems like this :)  hence why nobody uses it.

No, I was just playing. Insert a #!/usr/bin/perl on its own on the first 
line and it should work. Or edit the first line to say
#!/usr/bin/perl -MAcme::Bleach
instead of just the "use" command.

It's exactly the same code as the -1 release, just bleached.

Why has it been bleached Jules ? I thought you should not modify the code

As I said in my original posting, I was bored and fancied playing with 
it. The code in the bleached -2 is exactly the same as in the -1 release.
Nothing sinister going on, don't worry!

Jules,

I have added the perl line but MailScanner now hangs on start :-

mailhub opt # /opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner
Starting MailScanner...

mailhub log # /opt/MailScanner/bin/MailScanner --debug

Nothing in /var/log/messages.

Regards,

From MailScanner at ecs.soton.ac.uk  Sun Jul  8 19:23:50 2007
From: MailScanner at ecs.soton.ac.uk (Julian Field)
Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2007 20:23:50 +0100
Subject: Beta release: 4.62.2
Message-ID: <469139C6.1080002@ecs.soton.ac.uk>

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I have just released a new beta to support the SAUPDATEARGS setting in 
/etc/MailScanner/sysconfig for easy implementation of the HOWTO I just 
published on adding extra rulesets to SpamAssassin without having to use 
RulesDuJour.

The full Change Log is this:

* New Features and Improvements *
1 Improved non-Linux installer.
1 Improved Linux installer.
1 Updated OpenBSD installation guide. Thanks to Jeremy Evans for this.
1 Upgraded MIME::Base64 to 3.07.
1 Improved error reporting for clamd permissions problems. Thanks Rick.
2 Added SAUPDATEARGS to /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner and
  /usr/sbin/update_spamassassin. For a good use of this, see
  http://daryl.dostech.ca/sa-update/sare/sare-sa-update-howto.txt and search
  for "HOWTO" in the Subject: line of the MailScanner-discussion list 
archive.
  This process replaces RulesDuJour entirely.
  Another good ruleset to add to your setup is
  http://www.peregrinehw.com/downloads/SpamAssassin/contrib/KAM.cf
  To download this automatically every night, fetch
  http://www.mailscanner.info/files/4/KAM.cf.sh and put it in 
/etc/cron.daily
  and make it executable (type "chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/KAM.cf.sh").

Julian,

There's a bug in /usr/sbin/update_spamassassin (well, it doesn't work on
my CentOS 5 test box until I make this change).

You need to change

  $SAUPDATE "$SAUPDATEARGS"

to

  $SAUPDATE $SAUPDATEARGS

Cheers,

Phil

It didn't even attemnpt to pull down the updates.

That is, with the "-D" flag in the parameters, nothing showed.

Removing the quotes fixed it.

Okay, thanks. 4.62.2-3 doesn't have the quotes.

Does this imply you have tried my "HOWTO" document I posted? Does that 
work all okay?

Strangely enough I'd looked at making the exact changes to
update_spamassassin you detail in your HOWTO on Friday, and was going to
raise a change request today, but your superior telepathic powers
rendered the need to do that redundant.

Yes, it all works fine as in your HOWTO with that one change.

Thanks very much,

Phil

From MailScanner at ecs.soton.ac.uk  Thu Jul 12 18:31:23 2007
From: MailScanner at ecs.soton.ac.uk (Julian Field)
Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2007 19:31:23 +0100
Subject: Watermarking returns+ graphical signatures
Message-ID: <4696737B.7040805@ecs.soton.ac.uk>

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I have just released a new beta with 2 major features added:

Firstly, the watermarking functionality has returned. But this time it 
is implemented differently so is safe from all patent problems. It is 
implemented in pretty much the same way that milter-null does it.

Secondly, ever wanted to be able to put an image in your HTML signature? 
Well now you can. The image is embedded in the message so it will 
display even when the recipients' email applications are configured not 
to fetch remote images.

And there's one more little feature: some companies such as msgtag.com 
have evaded the web bug detection by not defining the size of the web 
bug image. Now you can just black-list images from any servers or 
domains so all images from msgtag.com can be blocked at once.

Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.

The full change log is this:

* New Features and Improvements *
1 Improved non-Linux installer.
1 Improved Linux installer.
1 Updated OpenBSD installation guide. Thanks to Jeremy Evans for this.
1 Upgraded MIME::Base64 to 3.07.
1 Improved error reporting for clamd permissions problems. Thanks Rick.
2 Added SAUPDATEARGS to /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner and
  /usr/sbin/update_spamassassin. For a good use of this, see
  http://daryl.dostech.ca/sa-update/sare/sare-sa-update-howto.txt and search
  for "HOWTO" in the Subject: line of the MailScanner-discussion list 
archive.
  This process replaces RulesDuJour entirely.
  Another good ruleset to add to your setup is
  http://www.peregrinehw.com/downloads/SpamAssassin/contrib/KAM.cf
  To download this automatically every night, fetch
  http://www.mailscanner.info/files/4/KAM.cf.sh and put it in 
/etc/cron.daily
  and make it executable (type "chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/KAM.cf.sh").
3 Added "Known Web Bug Servers" so you can blacklist images from known 
servers
  of web bug services.
3 Added functionality of "milter-null" to MailScanner so you no longer 
need to
  run this separately. It is called "Watermarking" and there is a whole
  section for the settings in MailScanner.conf. They are
  Add Watermark = yes
  Skip Spam Checks If Watermark Valid = yes
  Watermark Header = MailScanner-%org-name%-Watermark:
  Watermark Lifetime = 432000 # in seconds, = 5 days
  Watermark Secret = SET-THIS-TO-A-SECRET!
  Also added Digest::MD5 to the required list of Perl modules, this is 
needed
  for the watermarking code.
3 Added optional image to the clean message signature. You can also use this
  to add an arbitrary image attachment to any message, if you so wish. The
  main point is to be able to have graphical HTML signatures on messages.
  The settings are
  Attach Image To Signature = no
  Attach Image To HTML Message Only = yes
  Signature Image Filename = %report-dir%/sig.jpg
  Signature Image <img> Filename = signature.jpg

* Fixes *
2-2 Fixed error in RPM installer.
2-3 Fixed error in update_spamassassin.

What Jules forgot to mention:

>From MailScanner.conf:

# When using an image in the signature, there are 2 filenames which need
# to be set. The first is the location in this server's filesystem of
# the image file itself. The second is the name of the image as it is
# stored in the attachment. The HTML version of the signature will refer
# to this second name in the HTML <img> tag.
Signature Image Filename = %report-dir%/sig.jpg

This file name must end with the the same extension as the MIME Type

So:

.gif for GIF
.jpeg for JPEG (not .jpg as in the example)
.png for PNG



Hope this make sense.

Can we make an arbitrary default rule set to not send these to  
mailscanner-discussion at lists.mailscanner.info?? :-)

Seriously though, sounds great!

I've just added a special case to the code so jpg becomes jpeg for the 
MIME type.
But I will add the extra note to the docs.

I have hopefully fixed the watermarking setup so it should do something

You'll need to upgrade_MailScanner_conf to pick up the new options and

From MailScanner at ecs.soton.ac.uk  Tue Jul 24 15:50:19 2007
From: MailScanner at ecs.soton.ac.uk (Julian Field)
Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2007 16:50:19 +0100
Subject: Beta release 4.62.4
Message-ID: <46A61FBB.1030708@ecs.soton.ac.uk>

I have just released a new beta, 4.62.4.

This contains some bug-fixes, a few new minor features such as Kaspersky 
KAV4FS support, along with 2 major new ones:

1 - Addition of 4 new "store" actions, "store-nonmcp", "store-nonspam", 
"store-mcp" and "store-spam" so you can pick any particular bit of the 
quarantine you want as a message action.
2 - Addition of the "SpamAssassin Rule Actions" setting which is 
documented in the MailScanner.conf file.

The documentation of SpamAssassin Rule Actions from MailScanner.conf is 
this:
# This next setting is very powerful. It allows you to adjust the list of
# actions taken on a message by adding or removing any action or actions,
# depending on what SpamAssassin rules it matched.
# It can be used to replace the functionality of MCP, but without the large
# processing overhead that involves.
#
# The setting consists of a comma-separated list of 'SA_RULENAME=>action'
# pairs, where 'SA_RULENAME' is the name of any SpamAssassin rule (or
# meta-rule), and 'action' is the name of any of the actions listed above
# the 'Spam Actions' configuration setting or the word "not-" preceding any
# of the action names.
# Preceding the action name with "not-" as in "not-deliver" or "not-forward
# user at domain.com" will cause the action to be removed from the list of
# actions that would normally be taken on this message.
# If you want to execute multiple actions on 1 rule, simply specify multiple
# 'SA_RULENAME=>action' pairs.
# Example: Setting this to
# SpamAssassin Rule Actions = FROM_BOSS_WIFE=>not-forward 
secretary at domain.com
# would result in mail from the boss's wife not being forwarded to the 
boss's
# secretary, which would be useful if the non-spam actions for the message
# included forwarding to the boss's secretary.
#
# Combining this with a ruleset makes it even more powerful, as different
# recipients and/or senders can have different sets of rules applied to 
them.
#
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset, in which case the filename
# must end in ".rule" or ".rules".


The full Change Log is this:

* New Features and Improvements *
1 Improved non-Linux installer.
1 Improved Linux installer.
1 Updated OpenBSD installation guide. Thanks to Jeremy Evans for this.
1 Upgraded MIME::Base64 to 3.07.
1 Improved error reporting for clamd permissions problems. Thanks Rick.
2 Added SAUPDATEARGS to /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner and
  /usr/sbin/update_spamassassin. For a good use of this, see
  http://daryl.dostech.ca/sa-update/sare/sare-sa-update-howto.txt and search
  for "HOWTO" in the Subject: line of the MailScanner-discussion list 
archive.
  This process replaces RulesDuJour entirely.
  Another good ruleset to add to your setup is
  http://www.peregrinehw.com/downloads/SpamAssassin/contrib/KAM.cf
  To download this automatically every night, fetch
  http://www.mailscanner.info/files/4/KAM.cf.sh and put it in 
/etc/cron.daily
  and make it executable (type "chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/KAM.cf.sh").
3 Added "Known Web Bug Servers" so you can blacklist images from known 
servers
  of web bug services.
3 Added functionality of "milter-null" to MailScanner so you no longer 
need to
  run this separately. It is called "Watermarking" and there is a whole
  section for the settings in MailScanner.conf. They are
  Add Watermark = yes
  Skip Spam Checks If Watermark Valid = yes
  Watermark Header = MailScanner-%org-name%-Watermark:
  Watermark Lifetime = 432000 # in seconds, = 5 days
  Watermark Secret = SET-THIS-TO-A-SECRET!
  Also added Digest::MD5 to the required list of Perl modules, this is 
needed
  for the watermarking code.
3 Added optional image to the clean message signature. You can also use this
  to add an arbitrary image attachment to any message, if you so wish. The
  main point is to be able to have graphical HTML signatures on messages.
  The settings are
  Attach Image To Signature = no
  Attach Image To HTML Message Only = yes
  Signature Image Filename = %report-dir%/sig.jpg
  Signature Image <img> Filename = signature.jpg
4 Added support for Kaspersky kav4fs. Set virus.scanners.conf entry to
  point to /opt/kaspersky.
4 Changed default value to "Max SpamAssassin Size = 100k" as modern PDF 
spams
  are getting quite large, and PDFInfo.pm doesn't work with cropped 
messages.
4 Improved Clamd parser to handle Sane Security ClamAV signature databases
  which detect spam and so on from the contents of the headers, and hence
  find infections without attachment filenames. Thanks to various people for
  help with this, you know who you are :-)
4 Improved upgrade_MailScanner_conf so that it checks that the 'Monitors for
  ClamAV Updates' setting looks for inc and cvd files. Problems have 
recently
  been suffered by many due to the value of this setting being out of date.
  It doesn't automatically re-write their setting in case they have 
installed
  ClamAV somewhere odd and have customised it.
4 Changed 'Monitors for Sophos Updates' setting default value to point to
  appropriate file for Sophos version 5 and upwards, and have added check
  in upgrade_MailScanner_conf to ensure their setting now points to a new
  location. It prints a warning if sophos-av does not appear in the path.
4 Added configuration setting "SpamAssassin Rule Actions". This setting is
  very powerful and can be used to implement many things that MCP can do,
  without having the processing overhead of MCP. The documentation for it is
  in the MailScanner.conf file. Its power is limited by your imagination :-)
  Start combining it with rulesets and you can take (or _not_ take) any
  combination of actions dependent on any bit of content in the message 
or its
  headers. You could try out new SA tests by storing in quarantine every
  message that matches a new particular SpamAssassin rule (or meta-rule for
  creating more complex expressions).

* Fixes *
2-2 Fixed error in RPM installer.
2-3 Fixed error in update_spamassassin.
3-2 The watermarking code should do something now :-)
3-3 Rewrote the watermarking docs so they reflect the truth.
4   --lint now reads all the Custom Functions properly.
4   Bug in auto-zip fixed where attachments could be deleted without being
    added to zip. Thanks to Matt Hampton.
4   Bug with '-' in HTML attribute names confusing phishing net fixed. 
Thanks
    to John Wilcock.

Hi folks!

I have just released 4.62.6 which includes the new "custom(parameter)" 
spam action. This calls a function in 
/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/CustomFunctions/CustomAction.pm which 
you can tailor to do anything you like with a message. You can have 
multiple "custom()" actions listed, and each will be called in turn. Put 
different parameters in these actions, and you can do any combination of 
things you want.

This version also includes a fix for the McAfee problem just mentioned 
on the mailing list.

Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.

Message-ID: <28847974.4051185478018247.JavaMail.root@office.splatnix.net>

Jules,

Two things :-

1) I have spoken to MSRBL and they are not willing to change the '/' too a '.' for the MSRBL-Images files
2) I have been thinking about the parsing for ClamD. What is returned by ClamD contains three or more slashes in the result. If using split on the '/' the first two elements are definately queue name, and the second is either the filename or header. So based on that instead of using split could we use a substr and parse through the whole result string?

I will work on some code tomorrow as I have plenty of samples. Once done you could them work your "pure" perl magic on it :)

Best Regards,

I think you were rather optimistic there, in their position I wouldn't 
have changed it either :-)

Why/how does that actually help? I used the same basic parser structure 
I use in all the other output parsers. What is the good reason to change it?

Jules,

1) Yes worth a try ;)
2) Due to people putting slashes in virus names ;) MSRBL is the only one I have hit, but on checking clamav degault signatures these get hit aswell :-

Trojan.Aimbot-8./0132624
Trojan.Aimbot-8./0132624

Therefore using the split function I don't believe that they will be reported correctly, and will be shown as UNKNOWN.  Just thought by applying a different methology for CLAMAV output would cover all scenarios when a signature writer uses a hash in the name.

Regards,

Phil

From MailScanner at ecs.soton.ac.uk  Sat Jul 28 19:17:49 2007
From: MailScanner at ecs.soton.ac.uk (Julian Field)
Date: Sat, 28 Jul 2007 20:17:49 +0100
Subject: Release 4.62.7 beta
Message-ID: <46AB965D.60704@ecs.soton.ac.uk>

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I have just released another beta, 4.62.7.
Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.

- -- The ability to skip spam checks if there is a valid watermark has 
returned. If you have more than 1 MX with MailScanner on it, this can be 
used to avoid doing multiple sets of spam checks. It will do it on the 
first MailScanner the message hits, and skip them on subsequent 
MailScanners.

- -- "ClamAV Full Message Scan = yes" will make ClamAV get the full 
message as 1 file, so all the ClamAV 'type 4' signatures which spot spam 
will always work reliably. This will help you a lot if you are using the 
sanesecurity signatures or any others like it. If you're not using this, 
I strongly recommend it as it will help a lot with your spam detection.

As the Change Log is now so enormous, there will be a stable release at 
the start of August. But please do still test this release for me! I 
rely on your help for this, please don't let me down.

The full Change Log for this version is now this:

* New Features and Improvements *
1 Improved non-Linux installer.
1 Improved Linux installer.
1 Updated OpenBSD installation guide. Thanks to Jeremy Evans for this.
1 Upgraded MIME::Base64 to 3.07.
1 Improved error reporting for clamd permissions problems. Thanks Rick.
2 Added SAUPDATEARGS to /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner and
  /usr/sbin/update_spamassassin. For a good use of this, see
  http://daryl.dostech.ca/sa-update/sare/sare-sa-update-howto.txt and search
  for "HOWTO" in the Subject: line of the MailScanner-discussion list 
archive.
  This process replaces RulesDuJour entirely.
  Another good ruleset to add to your setup is
  http://www.peregrinehw.com/downloads/SpamAssassin/contrib/KAM.cf
  To download this automatically every night, fetch
  http://www.mailscanner.info/files/4/KAM.cf.sh and put it in 
/etc/cron.daily
  and make it executable (type "chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/KAM.cf.sh").
3 Added "Known Web Bug Servers" so you can blacklist images from known 
servers
  of web bug services.
3 Added functionality of "milter-null" to MailScanner so you no longer 
need to
  run this separately. It is called "Watermarking" and there is a whole
  section for the settings in MailScanner.conf. They are
  Add Watermark = yes
  Skip Spam Checks If Watermark Valid = yes
  Watermark Header = MailScanner-%org-name%-Watermark:
  Watermark Lifetime = 432000 # in seconds, = 5 days
  Watermark Secret = SET-THIS-TO-A-SECRET!
  Also added Digest::MD5 to the required list of Perl modules, this is 
needed
  for the watermarking code.
3 Added optional image to the clean message signature. You can also use this
  to add an arbitrary image attachment to any message, if you so wish. The
  main point is to be able to have graphical HTML signatures on messages.
  The settings are
  Attach Image To Signature = no
  Attach Image To HTML Message Only = yes
  Signature Image Filename = %report-dir%/sig.jpg
  Signature Image <img> Filename = signature.jpg
4 Added support for Kaspersky kav4fs. Set virus.scanners.conf entry to
  point to /opt/kaspersky.
4 Changed default value to "Max SpamAssassin Size = 100k" as modern PDF 
spams
  are getting quite large, and PDFInfo.pm doesn't work with cropped 
messages.
4 Improved Clamd parser to handle Sane Security ClamAV signature databases
  which detect spam and so on from the contents of the headers, and hence
  find infections without attachment filenames. Thanks to various people for
  help with this, you know who you are :-)
4 Improved upgrade_MailScanner_conf so that it checks that the 'Monitors for
  ClamAV Updates' setting looks for inc and cvd files. Problems have 
recently
  been suffered by many due to the value of this setting being out of date.
  It doesn't automatically re-write their setting in case they have 
installed
  ClamAV somewhere odd and have customised it.
4 Changed 'Monitors for Sophos Updates' setting default value to point to
  appropriate file for Sophos version 5 and upwards, and have added check
  in upgrade_MailScanner_conf to ensure their setting now points to a new
  location. It prints a warning if sophos-av does not appear in the path.
4 Added configuration setting "SpamAssassin Rule Actions". This setting is
  very powerful and can be used to implement many things that MCP can do,
  without having the processing overhead of MCP. The documentation for it is
  in the MailScanner.conf file. Its power is limited by your imagination :-)
  Start combining it with rulesets and you can take (or _not_ take) any
  combination of actions dependent on any bit of content in the message 
or its
  headers. You could try out new SA tests by storing in quarantine every
  message that matches a new particular SpamAssassin rule (or meta-rule for
  creating more complex expressions).
5 Added "custom" spam action, which takes a parameter. This is passed 
into the
  CustomAction function in CustomAction.pm in the CustomFunctions directory.
  This can be used to implement anything your heart desires, depending 
on the
  contents of a message.
7 When clamav, clamavmodule or clamd parsers are being used and new setting
  "ClamAV Full Message Scan" is set to "yes", pass each of the entire
  messages to ClamAV as well as the attachments so that the signatures that
  detect spam can work reliably. This is set to "no" be default as it has a
  speed impact.
7 The watermark options have been tweaked and renamed a bit, and one new
  feature has been added. "upgrade_MailScanner_conf" will show you the 
renames
  and the new feature is designed to save resources on sites with more than
  1 MailScanner. Currently, if you have a message delivered to a 
secondary MX
  (with MailScanner) which relays mail to the primary MX (also with
  MailScanner) for delivery to users' mailboxes, the spam checks will be
  done twice; this is a waste of resources. The new setting "Check 
Watermarks
  To Skip Spam Checks = yes" will remove this waste by skipping the spam
  checks on the primary MX as the secondary has already done them.

* Fixes *
2-2 Fixed error in RPM installer.
2-3 Fixed error in update_spamassassin.
3-2 The watermarking code should do something now :-)
3-3 Rewrote the watermarking docs so they reflect the truth.
4   --lint now reads all the Custom Functions properly.
4   Bug in auto-zip fixed where attachments could be deleted without being
    added to zip. Thanks to Matt Hampton.
4   Bug with '-' in HTML attribute names confusing phishing net fixed. 
Thanks
    to John Wilcock.
5   Fixed 2 bugs in MSRBL clamav-signature handler. Thanks to UxBoD.
6   Fixed bug from October 2006 involving McAfee finding infections in 
headers.
7   Fixed bug when unpacking TNEF files with external decoder.
7   Fixed 'monitor files' check in upgrade_MailScanner_conf so it 
doesn't check
    inadvertently when doing an upgrade_languages_conf.

The Watermarking features require Date::Parse - I forgot to mention that
to Jules so apologies if anyone runs in to issues.

That's okay. Date::Parse is part of TimeDate which is already in the 
installer, so no-one should have any problems with that.

Good luck!
I hope everything goes well.

The file doesn't appear to even get created.

Also, the reporting on infections appears to be incorrect aswell as shown below.  The message is actually clean :-

Ok, looks a bit ... strange.... What do you have for incoming work dir
perms/user/group in MS, and how did you solve the clamd permission
"clash" with PF?
The error seems to be about the MS childs work dir not being ...
accessible... to the child. So .. does all messages exhibit this
problem or not?
I assume this all worked in the previous beta? I'd help check on my
testsystem, but I'm actually outdoors (well... actually am changing
some doors on the house... Rot hag gotten into them,,, Pretty far from
MailScanner:-).

Yeah perms does seem to be the problem.  I have changed the code to be the same as what Jules uses to create the .header file to see if that cures the problem.

Jules,

I changed the code too this which fixed the problem, but I do not understand why I needed the chmod?!??! It is the same code as what is used to create the <MESSAGE.ID>.header file :-

sub InitClamAVModParser {
  my($BaseDir, $batch) = @_;

  if (MailScanner::Config::Value('clamavspam')) {
    # Write the whole message into $id.message in the headers directory
    my($id, $message);
    while(($id, $message) = each %{$batch->{messages}}) {
      next if $message->{deleted};

      my $target = new FileHandle;
      my $filename = $global::MS->{work}->{dir} . '/' . $id . '.message';

      MailScanner::Lock::openlock($target, ">$filename", "w")
        or MailScanner::Log::DieLog("Cannot create + lock message file %s, %s", $filename, $!);
      $message->{store}->WriteEntireMessage($message, $target);

      MailScanner::Lock::unlockclose($target);

      # Set the owner of the message file
      chown $global::MS->{work}->{uid}, $global::MS->{work}->{gid}, $filename
      if $global::MS->{work}->{changeowner};
      chmod 0660, $filename;
    }
  }
}

I presume it is more efficient to use IO::File as nothing else should be accessing the .message file anyway, and therefore a lock is not required.  If that is the case, then would the same hold true for the header file?

Ok, looks a bit ... strange.... What do you have for incoming work dir
perms/user/group in MS, and how did you solve the clamd permission
"clash" with PF?
The error seems to be about the MS childs work dir not being ...
accessible... to the child. So .. does all messages exhibit this
problem or not?
I assume this all worked in the previous beta? I'd help check on my
testsystem, but I'm actually outdoors (well... actually am changing
some doors on the house... Rot hag gotten into them,,, Pretty far from
MailScanner:-).

I have modified your code a bit (but it has the same overall effect) and 
release 4.62.7-3.
Have you found anything else wrong for me?
Thanks!

Many thanks, I depend on you guys to test things for me. Testing an 
application the size of MailScanner completely is pretty much impossible 
these days, certainly for one person :-(

I've broken another milestone, MailScanner now has 304 configuration 
settings according to the web page that documents them all!

Best regards,
Jules.

Many thanks, I depend on you guys to test things for me. Testing an 
application the size of MailScanner completely is pretty much impossible 
these days, certainly for one person :-(

I've broken another milestone, MailScanner now has 304 configuration 
settings according to the web page that documents them all!

Best regards,
Jules.

From MailScanner at ecs.soton.ac.uk  Mon Jul 30 10:56:56 2007
From: MailScanner at ecs.soton.ac.uk (Julian Field)
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2007 11:56:56 +0100
Subject: Release beta 4.62.8
Message-ID: <46ADC3F8.2060101@ecs.soton.ac.uk>

I have just released another new beta, due to a typo in the code in the 
previous one.
-- As well as fixing that error, you should now find that "MailScanner 
--lint" does rather more than it used to. It now checks that your 
installed virus scanners actually successfully detect a virus.
-- "Virus Scanners = auto" now handles multiple different types of 
installation of ClamAV and will use clamd in preference, else 
clamavmodule, else clamav.

Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.

The full Change Log is now this (enormous!)

* New Features and Improvements *
1 Improved non-Linux installer.
1 Improved Linux installer.
1 Updated OpenBSD installation guide. Thanks to Jeremy Evans for this.
1 Upgraded MIME::Base64 to 3.07.
1 Improved error reporting for clamd permissions problems. Thanks Rick.
2 Added SAUPDATEARGS to /etc/sysconfig/MailScanner and
  /usr/sbin/update_spamassassin. For a good use of this, see
  http://daryl.dostech.ca/sa-update/sare/sare-sa-update-howto.txt and search
  for "HOWTO" in the Subject: line of the MailScanner-discussion list 
archive.
  This process replaces RulesDuJour entirely.
  Another good ruleset to add to your setup is
  http://www.peregrinehw.com/downloads/SpamAssassin/contrib/KAM.cf
  To download this automatically every night, fetch
  http://www.mailscanner.info/files/4/KAM.cf.sh and put it in 
/etc/cron.daily
  and make it executable (type "chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/KAM.cf.sh").
3 Added "Known Web Bug Servers" so you can blacklist images from known 
servers
  of web bug services.
3 Added functionality of "milter-null" to MailScanner so you no longer 
need to
  run this separately. It is called "Watermarking" and there is a whole
  section for the settings in MailScanner.conf. They are
  Add Watermark = yes
  Skip Spam Checks If Watermark Valid = yes
  Watermark Header = MailScanner-%org-name%-Watermark:
  Watermark Lifetime = 432000 # in seconds, = 5 days
  Watermark Secret = SET-THIS-TO-A-SECRET!
  Also added Digest::MD5 to the required list of Perl modules, this is 
needed
  for the watermarking code.
3 Added optional image to the clean message signature. You can also use this
  to add an arbitrary image attachment to any message, if you so wish. The
  main point is to be able to have graphical HTML signatures on messages.
  The settings are
  Attach Image To Signature = no
  Attach Image To HTML Message Only = yes
  Signature Image Filename = %report-dir%/sig.jpg
  Signature Image <img> Filename = signature.jpg
4 Added support for Kaspersky kav4fs. Set virus.scanners.conf entry to
  point to /opt/kaspersky.
4 Changed default value to "Max SpamAssassin Size = 100k" as modern PDF 
spams
  are getting quite large, and PDFInfo.pm doesn't work with cropped 
messages.
4 Improved Clamd parser to handle Sane Security ClamAV signature databases
  which detect spam and so on from the contents of the headers, and hence
  find infections without attachment filenames. Thanks to various people for
  help with this, you know who you are :-)
4 Improved upgrade_MailScanner_conf so that it checks that the 'Monitors for
  ClamAV Updates' setting looks for inc and cvd files. Problems have 
recently
  been suffered by many due to the value of this setting being out of date.
  It doesn't automatically re-write their setting in case they have 
installed
  ClamAV somewhere odd and have customised it.
4 Changed 'Monitors for Sophos Updates' setting default value to point to
  appropriate file for Sophos version 5 and upwards, and have added check
  in upgrade_MailScanner_conf to ensure their setting now points to a new
  location. It prints a warning if sophos-av does not appear in the path.
4 Added configuration setting "SpamAssassin Rule Actions". This setting is
  very powerful and can be used to implement many things that MCP can do,
  without having the processing overhead of MCP. The documentation for it is
  in the MailScanner.conf file. Its power is limited by your imagination :-)
  Start combining it with rulesets and you can take (or _not_ take) any
  combination of actions dependent on any bit of content in the message 
or its
  headers. You could try out new SA tests by storing in quarantine every
  message that matches a new particular SpamAssassin rule (or meta-rule for
  creating more complex expressions).
5 Added "custom" spam action, which takes a parameter. This is passed 
into the
  CustomAction function in CustomAction.pm in the CustomFunctions directory.
  This can be used to implement anything your heart desires, depending 
on the
  contents of a message.
7 When clamav, clamavmodule or clamd parsers are being used and new setting
  "ClamAV Full Message Scan" is set to "yes", pass each of the entire
  messages to ClamAV as well as the attachments so that the signatures that
  detect spam can work reliably. This is set to "no" be default as it has a
  speed impact.
7 The watermark options have been tweaked and renamed a bit, and one new
  feature has been added. "upgrade_MailScanner_conf" will show you the 
renames
  and the new feature is designed to save resources on sites with more than
  1 MailScanner. Currently, if you have a message delivered to a 
secondary MX
  (with MailScanner) which relays mail to the primary MX (also with
  MailScanner) for delivery to users' mailboxes, the spam checks will be
  done twice; this is a waste of resources. The new setting "Check 
Watermarks
  To Skip Spam Checks = yes" will remove this waste by skipping the spam
  checks on the primary MX as the secondary has already done them.
7 "Virus Scanners = auto" will detect multiple types of ClamAV installed and
  tend towards the most useful one. It will use clamd else clamavmodule else
  clamav. This helps if you have all 3 installed, which is quite likely.
8 Greatly improved "MailScanner --lint". It now actually tests every virus
  scanner that you have installed, and checks that they can successfully 
scan
  a message containing the Eicar test-virus pattern. It reports the results
  from each scanner and warns you about checking any that are not reported.

* Fixes *
2-2 Fixed error in RPM installer.
2-3 Fixed error in update_spamassassin.
3-2 The watermarking code should do something now :-)
3-3 Rewrote the watermarking docs so they reflect the truth.
4   --lint now reads all the Custom Functions properly.
4   Bug in auto-zip fixed where attachments could be deleted without being
    added to zip. Thanks to Matt Hampton.
4   Bug with '-' in HTML attribute names confusing phishing net fixed. 
Thanks
    to John Wilcock.
5   Fixed 2 bugs in MSRBL clamav-signature handler. Thanks to UxBoD.
6   Fixed bug from October 2006 involving McAfee finding infections in 
headers.
7   Fixed bug when unpacking TNEF files with external decoder.
7   Fixed 'monitor files' check in upgrade_MailScanner_conf so it 
doesn't check
    inadvertently when doing an upgrade_languages_conf.
7-3 Fixed bug in full message file creation in scanning dir as permissions
    were wrong.

Having a test with CustomAction but cannot seem to get it to work :( I have changed my MailScanner.conf too :-

Spam Actions = store custom(test)

So I was expecting in my /var/log/messages too see :-

CustomAction: <MESSAGE> yes test

But nothing shows.  What am I doing wrong ?

What code have you put in CustomAction.pm to actually do anything with 
the custom() action?
I'm unsure what logging it will do without any extra code in there.

What code have you put in CustomAction.pm to actually do anything with 
the custom() action?
I'm unsure what logging it will do without any extra code in there.

Subject: CustomAction
In-Reply-To: <7197142.7381185878213159.JavaMail.root@office.splatnix.net>
Message-ID: <12793696.7611185881543693.JavaMail.root@office.splatnix.net>

Question on efficiency?

For writing to a database when the CustomAction is used I have in mind three different methods :-

1) Open SQL connection, insert, close connection
2) Connect to a file socket, write data, and then a seperate daemon would read from the socket, manipulate data and write to SQL
3) As per 3 but use a TCP socket direct to daemon

Which do you reckon would be the quickest? Off loading to seperate daemon would hopefully not impact on MS performance then.

High overhead, safe, easy to implement.

Low (even very low) overhead, not as easy to implement as #1, "locked"
to one server (for the daemon part, not necessarily the SQL bit the
daemon does:-).

> 3) As per 3 but use a TCP socket direct to daemon
Marginally (well:) higher overhead than #2, no big difference in
implementation "hardness", not locked to one server for the daemon
part.

Quickest in what way? To implement: #1, performance-wise? Likely #2,
but depending on a lot of factors, #3 could well be the way to go.

Yeah, will go down the this route as a DNS round-robin approach could be used for load balancing. Efficiency and scalability.
