updated sendmail, now MailScanner isn't catching viruses

[Matthew Bowman]

I first updated my sendmail on my RH 7.2 box then applied MailScanner
4.13-3. The only problem that I had  was spamc getting connection refused
to 127.0.0.1 (localhost), I circumvented that by using the -i <ip address>
flag with spamd in the rc script. No problems encountered with Virus
Scanning.

Matthew.

I had the same problem. Mails were stuck in mqueue.in and were not
scanned. I just reinstalled MialScanner after I upgraded sendmail and it
started working.

Reasons? I have not spent time to understand this as yet.

MailScanner is running, and the headers of each message say it found it
to be clean. I just starting noticing that I wasn't getting any of the
messages saying that viruses are found. I also noticed this morning that
backup on our file server is catching viruses on our mail server. ( I
have a redhat 8 box that scans mail and sends it off to our exchange
server. We have a separate file server that backs up all our windows
boxes)
