Mailscanner 4.54.6 on FreeBSd 6.1 not working

[Marc Dufresne]

This is what I've done today to resolve my issues.

p5-Filesys-Statvfs-Df error (FIXED)
-Fixed by removing it from the ports tree.
-Ran cvsup -g -L 2 portsupdatefile
-Went to /usr/ports/devel/p5-Filesys-Statvfs-Df-0.68
ran make
make install

Result: Successful installation

Mailscanner-4.54.6 (Reinstalled)
-removed from ports tree
- Ran cvsup -g -L 2 portsupdatefile
- went to /usr/ports/mail/mailscanner
ran make
make install

Result: Successful installation

Perl5.8.8
went to /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8.8
ran make 
make install

Result: 
I wanted to make sure perl 5.8.8 was installed corectly since I
re-installed p5-Filesys-Statvfs-Df-0.68 and Mailscanenr-4.54.6. After
running make then make install, It didn't re--install anything. It
quickly went back to the command line.

Since all of the above was OK, I then ran the script
perl-after-upgrade. It fixed 172 packages.

NEXT, I RAN:

Ran /usr/local/sbin/MailScanner --lint

This is the error I am getting:

/usr/local/sbin/MailScanner --lint
Could not read file /var/run/MailScanner.pid at
/usr/local/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Config.pm line 2317

Checking for SpamAssassin errors (if you use it)...
You want to use SpamAssassin but have not installed it. at
/usr/local/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/SA.pm line 131
Please download
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/files/4/install-Clam-SA.tar.gz
and unpack it and run ./install.sh to install it, then restart
MailScanner. at /usr/local/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/SA.pm line 132
I will run without SpamAssassin for now, you will not detect much spam
until you install SpamAssassin. at
/usr/local/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/SA.pm line 133

MailScanner.conf says "Virus Scanners = clamav"
Found these virus scanners installed: clamav

Sorry, I'm not BSD expert at all, I can't help you. Sorry about that. 
Running perl 5.8.7 shouldn't cause any problems, I run much older 
versions than that myself and have no problems. It's just a matter of 
having the relevant versions of the MailScanner-required Perl modules 
installed.

You can see the versions of all the Perl modules installed that 
MailScanner requires by running the command
    MailScanner --versions

See what that says, and if it says anything is missing. Then you could

just use CPAN or the ports system to upgrade/install the missing
modules.

Once MailScanner --versions works, try
    MailScanner --lint
and check that works okay. Once that works, you should be ready to go.

I hope that lot is some help to you.
