Help: waiting for children to die: Process did not exit cleanly

[Kimpton, C (Chris)]

Hi,

My production box is on MailScanner 4.50.15.1 and that's working fine.


I realised that I had spamassassin turned off and it was not even
installed.


Running it in debug now gives more info - ending in this error:

[11934] dbg: check: is spam? score=2.216 required=5
[11934] dbg: check:
tests=MISSING_HEADERS,MISSING_SUBJECT,NO_REAL_NAME,NO_RECEIVED,NO_RELAYS
,TO_CC_NONE
[11934] dbg: check:
subtests=__HAS_MSGID,__MSGID_OK_DIGITS,__MSGID_OK_HOST,__NONEMPTY_BODY,_
_SANE_MSGID,__UNUSABLE_MSGID
Ignore errors about failing to find EOCD signature
format error: can't find EOCD signature
 at /usr/sbin/MailScanner line 820
Undefined subroutine &MailScanner::Message::df called at
/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Message.pm line 1715.


So it looks like an issue with statfs/df stuff is not being found for
Perl... Now to track down which Gentoo package has it or perhaps it's a
USE flag  ;-)

Ok - RTFM - I see there is g-cpan that can install Filesys::Df....

... And now its working - hurray.

Thanks for the help,
Chris

Ok, I'm certainly no Sendmail guru, but I think those are both looking
ath the "post MailScanner" queue.

Remove ORDB-RBL from that, it is dead since a while (rather recently),
and restart MS. Might have something to do with this.

If you comment it out that is the same as using the defaults (which
might not be empty!). "MailScanner --changed" might give you a clue as
to what has been changed from the defaults here. Hm, no... the default
seem to be empty here, so that might not be it. You restarted/reloaded
MailScanner after the change, did you?
