Cobalt RAQ4 Mailscanner Installation problems

[Mike Kercher]

I have a rule defined for my queues.

In /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf:

Outgoing Queue Dir = /etc/MailScanner/rules/outgoing.queue.rules

Then, my outgoing.queue.rules:

To:     /^[a-g]/                /var/spool/mqueue/q1
To:     /^[h-m]/                /var/spool/mqueue/q2
To:     /^[n-s]/                /var/spool/mqueue/q3
To:     /^[t-z]/                /var/spool/mqueue/q4
FromOrTo:       default         /var/spool/mqueue/q5

I don't know for sure if this will help you or not.

Mike

        Hi,
        I have followed the instructions here to the letter:

        http://www.qitc.net/support/mailscanner/

        Everything went fine until this part:

        OK, nearly there. Now we want to stop sendmail and start MailScanner
and make sure it stays that way in the event of a reboot.

        /etc/rc.d/init.d/MailScanner stop

        This gave the following output:

        [root spool]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/MailScanner stop
        Shutting down MailScanner daemons:
        MailScanner: ERROR!
        incoming sendmail: head: /var/run/sendmail.in.pid: No such file or
directory
        head: /var/run/sm-client.pid: No such file or directory
        ok
        outgoing sendmail: head: /var/run/sendmail.out.pid: No such file or
directory
        ok

        so I continued anyway:

        [root spool]# ps auxw | grep -i mail
        root 4043 0.0 0.2 2596 380 ? S Jan30 0:14 sendmail: accepting
connections
        root 20843 0.0 0.3 1360 504 pts/0 S 20:59 0:00 grep -i mail

        [root spool]# chkconfig sendmail off
        [root spool]# chkconfig --level 2345 MailScanner on
        [root spool]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/MailScanner start
        Starting MailScanner daemons:
        incoming sendmail: ok
        outgoing sendmail: ok
        MailScanner: ok

        [root spool]# ps auxw | grep -i mail
        root 4043 0.0 0.2 2596 380 ? S Jan30 0:14 sendmail: accepting

        root 20946 0.0 7.9 11440 10208 ? S 21:00 0:00 perl

        root 20947 2.6 8.5 12196 10952 ? S 21:00 0:00 perl
-I/usr/lib/MailScanner /usr/sbin/MailScanner /etc/MailScanner/Ma
        root 20952 6.8 8.5 12196 10952 ? S 21:00 0:00 perl

        root 20956 0.0 0.3 1360 504 pts/0 S 21:00 0:00 grep -i mail


        If I do:

        [root /root]# tail -f -n100 /var/log/maillog

        I get disturbing lines like:

        Mar 18 21:32:46 www in.qpopper[22729]: apop "steve"
        Mar 18 21:32:46 www in.qpopper[22729]: steve at 81.86.100.107
(81.86.100.107): -ERR [AUTH] not authenticated

        Mar 18 21:33:29 www sendmail[22772]: i2ILXTR22772: SYSERR(root):
Can't create transcript file q3/xfi2ILXTR22772: No such file or directory
        Mar 18 21:33:29 www sendmail[22772]: i2ILXTR22772:
from=<etcetc at hotmail.com>, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=1, proto=SMTP,
daemon=MTA, relay=[210.0.186.247]

        The outcome is I can no longer receive email in any mailbox on the
server or send email from OpenWebmail it also throws up an error like Can't
create transcript file?

        Does anyone have any ideas how to get Mailscanner running?

        In MailScanner.conf I have left the Virus Scanners = none as I have
installed clamav instead of F-prot but wanted to make sure Mailscanner was
working before enabling that.

        Thanks
