From MailScanner at ecs.soton.ac.uk Sat Jun 2 13:32:53 2007 From: MailScanner at ecs.soton.ac.uk (Julian Field) Date: Sat, 02 Jun 2007 14:32:53 +0100 Subject: Beta release 4.61.1 Message-ID: <46617185.6030000@ecs.soton.ac.uk> This beta includes direct communication with clamd, and no longer uses clamd-wrapper or clamdscan. This should be faster than the clamd support in the previous version. Thanks for Rick Cooper for this contribution. Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info. The Change Log is: * New Features and Improvements * 1 Direct support for the "clamd" virus scanner -- now talks directly to the clamd daemon without any overhead of calling clamd-wrapper or clamdscan. As a result, this should be faster than the previous clamd support. It also has a much smaller memory footprint than the "clamavmodule" scanner. This is all thanks to Rick Cooper who wrote the original code. New configuration options are - Clamd Port = 3310 - Clamd Socket = /tmp/clamd - Clamd Lock File = /var/lock/subsys/clamd - Clamd Use Threads = no The use of these settings is explained in the MailScanner.conf file.

Download as usual www.mailscanner.info. The Change Log is: * New Features and Improvements * 1 Direct support for the "clamd" virus scanner -- now talks directly to the clamd daemon without any overhead of calling clamd-wrapper or clamdscan. As a result, this should be faster than the previous clamd support. It also has a much smaller memory footprint than the "clamavmodule" scanner. This is all thanks to Rick Cooper who wrote the original code. New configuration options are - Clamd Port = 3310 - Clamd Socket = /tmp/clamd - Clamd Lock File = /var/lock/subsys/clamd - Clamd Use Threads = no The use of these settings is explained in the MailScanner.conf file. 2 Changed session handling in direct clamd virus scanner support. * Fixes * 2 Fixed bug in auto-zip feature with a message containing 2 attachments with the same filename. 2 Fixed bug in auto-zip feature that would allow zipping of an attachment which had been cleaned out of the message.

I would particularly like clamd users and Postfix users to test this release, please. Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info. New additions in this beta versus the previous beta are: 3 'MailScanner --lint' now finds clamd virus scanner. 3 Made clamd subsys lock file blank by default, so it works on non-Linux systems. 3 Added another example to the Allowed Sophos Error Messages setting for password-protected files. 3 Fixed "identified/found" bug in AVG parser. 3 Fixed bugs in Panda and AVG parsers courtesy of Rick Cooper. 3 Fixed bug in Postfix handler which caused a problem with empty messages. The entire Change Log for this version is currently: * New Features and Improvements * 1 Direct support for the "clamd" virus scanner -- now talks directly to the clamd daemon without any overhead of calling clamd-wrapper or clamdscan. As a result, this should be faster than the previous clamd support. It also has a much smaller memory footprint than the "clamavmodule" scanner. This is all thanks to Rick Cooper who wrote the original code. New configuration options are - Clamd Port = 3310 - Clamd Socket = /tmp/clamd - Clamd Lock File = /var/lock/subsys/clamd - Clamd Use Threads = no The use of these settings is explained in the MailScanner.conf file. 2 Changed session handling in direct clamd virus scanner support. 3 'MailScanner --lint' now finds clamd virus scanner. 3 Made clamd subsys lock file blank by default, so it works on non-Linux systems. 3 Added another example to the Allowed Sophos Error Messages setting for password-protected files. * Fixes * 2 Fixed bug in auto-zip feature with a message containing 2 attachments with the same filename. 2 Fixed bug in auto-zip feature that would allow zipping of an attachment which had been cleaned out of the message. 3 Fixed "identified/found" bug in AVG parser. 3 Fixed bugs in Panda and AVG parsers courtesy of Rick Cooper. 3 Fixed bug in Postfix handler which caused a problem with empty messages.

Looking at /var/log/messages it has the error :- AF_ERR for syslog connections(100), max(100) No updates have been applied to the server. I cannot believe that it is MailScanner, but I have rolled back to the previous release to see if the problem goes away. Will keep you posted.

The main new points in this beta are: - - New feature: "watermarking" so that you can guarantee that replies to your email messages will not be caught by any of the spam traps. - - Bug fix: rare Postfix header milter support problem. - - Improvement: much easier to get binary attachment searching working with MCP. Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info. The full Change Log so far is this: * New Features and Improvements * 1 Direct support for the "clamd" virus scanner -- now talks directly to the clamd daemon without any overhead of calling clamd-wrapper or clamdscan. As a result, this should be faster than the previous clamd support. It also has a much smaller memory footprint than the "clamavmodule" scanner. This is all thanks to Rick Cooper who wrote the original code. New configuration options are - Clamd Port = 3310 - Clamd Socket = /tmp/clamd - Clamd Lock File = /var/lock/subsys/clamd - Clamd Use Threads = no The use of these settings is explained in the MailScanner.conf file. 2 Changed session handling in direct clamd virus scanner support. 3 'MailScanner --lint' now finds clamd virus scanner. 3 Made clamd subsys lock file blank by default, so it works on non-Linux systems. 3 Added another example to the Allowed Sophos Error Messages setting for password-protected files. 4 Renamed "sa-update" command and cron job to "update_spamassassin". 4 Added ability to easily disable update_virus_scanners script. 4 Added conditional call to sa-compile to update_spamassassin cron job. 4 Added to $PATH in update_phishing_sites for Solaris 10 locations. 4 Added new feature (thanks to Matt Hampton for this) to skip the spam checks on a message if it is a reply to one of your own messages. This is known as "watermarking" a message. There are 4 new configuration settings: Add Watermark = yes Skip Spam Checks If Watermark Valid = yes Watermark Secret = SOMETHING-SECRET! Watermark Lifetime = 2419200 # = 4 weeks * Fixes * 2 Fixed bug in auto-zip feature with a message containing 2 attachments with the same filename. 2 Fixed bug in auto-zip feature that would allow zipping of an attachment which had been cleaned out of the message. 3 Fixed "identified/found" bug in AVG parser. 3 Fixed bugs in Panda and AVG parsers courtesy of Rick Cooper. 3 Fixed bug in Postfix handler which caused a problem with empty messages. 4 Fixed bug in SuSE init.d script stopping MailScanner reload working properly. 4 Changed method for getting MCP to decode binary attachments (the interesting ones have "application" in their MIME type). New patch for SpamAssassin 3.2.1 Util.pm required now. No other SpamAssassin patches required at all. 4 Added definition of "noticesizeinfected" to languages.conf. 4 Added speedup (courtesy of Glenn Steen) to the new Postfix milter support. 4 Fixed rare bug in Postfix milter header support (from Glenn Steen).

There is one new minor feature. There is now a setting SpamAssassin Temporary Dir which sets the dir in which SpamAssassin creates all its temporary files. To speed up SpamAssassin, you can put the files on a filesystem mounted with tmpfs, thereby saving lots of disk i/o. By default, the directory is put inside /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming as most people who are concerned with speed do at least get as far as putting that on tmpfs. It will attempt to create the directory if necessary, so no need for any special steps to use it. If it can't write to the directory, it backs off to using /tmp instead. On some systems that is mounted on tmpfs anyway. Download it as usual from www.mailscanner.info. Please test this new feature for me, and continue to test the recent Postfix fixes. Thanks!
