My Problem with a New MailScanner Installation

[Timothy Barhorst]

I’ve installed the latest Mailscanner (4.20-3 ), Sendmail (8.13.3)
 and SpamAssassin (3.0.2)  on a new Fedora system ( kernel
2.6.9-1.667smp)

I’m also using clamav-0.83.

 

I’ve noticed two problems.

 

First one is that when I use Spam Checks = yes,  then no mail gets
delivered – it just repeats the following over and over in the log.

If I set Spam Checks = no, then mail gets delivered – including
spam.

 

Feb 24 11:16:38 bilbo MailScanner[7679]: Using locktype = flock

Feb 24 11:16:38 bilbo MailScanner[7679]: New Batch: Scanning 9 messages,

version 4.20-3 starting...

Feb 24 11:16:48 bilbo MailScanner[7681]: Using locktype = flock

 

The other problem is that my clamav doesn;’t seem to update
properly. I get the following in the logs.

 

Feb 23 23:01:01 bilbo update.virus.scanners: Found clamav installed

Feb 23 23:01:01 bilbo update.virus.scanners: Updating clamav

Feb 23 23:01:01 bilbo ClamAV-autoupdate[3684]: ClamAV updater failed

 

I’ve installed several MailScanner installations before but these
have me stumped. All suggestions are greatly appreciated.
