[Gandalf .29 .P]

Hi ,

I changed my /etc/sysconfig/i18n file content to :
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
LANG="en_US"
SUPPORTED="en_US:en"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

and still MailScanner consumes more than 99% CPU until the machine hangs !


My /var/log/maillog says:

I have installed MailScanner latest version now :
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MailScanner-4.26.8-1
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++




I am running a chrooted postfix version as mentioned before and
MailScanner Default configuration with sight changes as mentioned below :
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Max Children = 2
Run As User = postfix
Run As Group = postfix
Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix.in/deferred
Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix/incoming
Incoming Work Dir = /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming
Quarantine Dir = /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine
MTA = postfix
Incoming Work User = postfix
Incoming Work Group =  postfix
Quarantine User = postfix
Quarantine Group =  postfix
Virus Scanning = yes
Virus Scanners = f-prot
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



When getting a message my smtp server is classifying the massage as
"relay=none" and the message is not delivered .
I also do not see any MailScanner script initiated to do the mail scanning
procedure .

I am very interested in using MailScanner , I also sent an e-mail to their
support team but with no response .

I wonder .... what needs to be done in order for this to work if I did
everything by the book .

Perl is installed from redhat9 distro cd's .

When I stop MailScanner and start postfix as usual after reenabling
/etc/postfix/master.cf smtpd entry , every thing get back to normal .


HELP !
This Product is getting me crazy , also because there aren't any debug
messages after MailScanner Debug = yes is turned on !!!!!


I will be happy if help will be handed and mailscanner group will address
the problem since I browsed alot in the mailing list and saw other people
with the same weird problem .

P.S:I didn't configure spamassassin although it is installed on my system ,
I just want to get MailScanner to work and then I wil address SpamAssassin .

Thanks in advanced ,

Gandalf !
