Mailscanner restarting all the time...

[Patrick Vogt]

Hello!


I own a RAQ550 and decided to install Mailscanner with f-prot and Spamassissin.

I've followed the how-to at http://www.qitc.net/support/mailscanner/
and the installation went fine.

I can start mailscanner, no problems. But when the first mail arrives:

MailScanner[7107]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner version 4.33.1 starting...
MailScanner[7056]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages, 1083 bytes
MailScanner[7056]: MCP Checks: Starting
MailScanner[7056]: Spam Checks: Starting
MailScanner[7107]: Using locktype = flock
MailScanner[7107]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages, 1083 bytes
MailScanner[7107]: MCP Checks: Starting
MailScanner[7107]: Spam Checks: Starting
MailScanner[7083]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages, 1083 bytes
MailScanner[7083]: MCP Checks: Starting
MailScanner[7083]: Spam Checks: Starting
MailScanner[7081]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages, 1083 bytes
MailScanner[7081]: MCP Checks: Starting
MailScanner[7081]: Spam Checks: Starting
and so on...

ps aux shows MailScanner <defunct>

If I set 'Virus Scanning = no', all messages are delivered w/o any problems
and no restarting is seen (So, sendmail should be ok)

If I set 'Virus Scanning = yes' and 'Virus Scanners = none' and 'Spam Checks
= no' the problem arrives.

With this setting, the problem must be just Mailscanner (f-prot and
SpamAssasin are disabled, or not?).

If I start with
'debug = yes'
'Virus Scanners = 'f-prot'
'Spam Checks = yes'
and do a check_mailscanner, nothing really helpful is printed:

I've read through MAQs and FAQs and the Archive, but nothing could help
me... I'm I too stupid?

Thanks for your help!
