couple quick questions on Mailscanner...

[Jason Williams]

Hello everyone.

Just have a couple quick questions about my mailscanner server that is
about to go live.

First, specs:

FreeBSD 4.9
Sendmail 8.12.10
MailScanner 4.27-7
clamav 0.70
SpamAssassin 2.63

Hardware:

Dual PIII 1ghz
2gig RAM
2 16gig SCSI drives

Quick shot of df -h:

/dev/da1s1e   8.2G   3.3M   7.5G     0%    /var
/dev/da1s1f   8.5G   170K   7.8G     0%    /var/spool
procfs        4.0K   4.0K     0B   100%    /proc
mfs:28        252M    22K   232M     0%    /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming


First question is that I upgraded mailscanner from the ports using
portupgrade. After a quick restart, I saw the following in my maillog:

Apr 27 09:12:33 mailmg MailScanner[170]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner
version 4.29.7 starting...
Apr 27 09:12:33 mailmg MailScanner[170]: Could not read Custom Functions
directory

Second line is where im confused...have not seen that before. Im guessing,
new change in 4.27-7?

Second question. This server has two 1ghz CPU's in it.
Is it safe to set the Max Children = 10   in Mailscanner.conf? Being as
this box has 2 cpus, I thought this would be alright...


Lastly, quick question on spamassassin:

I cannot seem to recall on where to put custom .cf files for spamassassin
to read? For instance, I have a few rules I downloaded from the
spamassassin emporium site, that I would like to use, but I can't seem to
recall on where to put them.

I wanna say it would be in the following locatin:

/usr/local/etc/Mailscanner/rules

I could be wrong though.

That is about it. Just wanted to clear up a few things before I go live.

Thanks everyone!

Jason
