Syntax error in rule file.

[Ricardo Aguiar]

Ok. After adding the line to Config.pm. This are the line on the console after running the "MailScanner -debug"

[root at server MailScanner]# MailScanner -debug
In Debugging mode, not forking...
internalvalue = "0" and settype = "yesno"
internalvalue = "0" and settype = "yesno"
internalvalue = "1" and settype = "yesno"
internalvalue = "1" and settype = "yesno"
internalvalue = "1" and settype = "yesno"
internalvalue = "1" and settype = "yesno"
internalvalue = "1" and settype = "yesno"
internalvalue = "1" and settype = "yesno"
internalvalue = "0" and settype = "yesno"
internalvalue = "" and settype = "yesno"
internalvalue = "" and settype = "yesno"
internalvalue = "/etc/MailScanner/filename.no.rules.conf" and settype = "other"
internalvalue = "/etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf" and settype = "other"
internalvalue = "/etc/MailScanner/filetype.no.rules.conf" and settype = "other"
internalvalue = "/etc/MailScanner/filetype.rules.conf" and settype = "other"

In the log file:

May  3 09:57:48 server MailScanner[7608]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner version 4.53.6 starting...

This file has tabs, no spaces.
[root at server MailScanner]# cat /etc/MailScanner/filename.no.rules.conf
allow   .       -       -

I could add the /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf" but it is the original. If it helps the md5sum is:
[root at server MailScanner]# md5sum /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf
2299715e7f67935f73fe0c457a5cae8e  /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf

I hope that this helps.

Very odd. I can't reproduce it.

Can you add to Config.pm
print STDERR "internalvalue = \"$internalvalue\" and settype = \"$settype\"\n"; just before line 2225.

Then do a "MailScanner -debug" and let me know what this line prints.

Either that, or mail me off-list with remote login details and root password for your system, and I'll take a look after I've eaten my dinner.
