MailScanner w/ Qmail / Plesk

[Cameron B. Prince]

Hey guys,

I have a new dedicated server with Plesk. I originally purchased the
SpamAssassin and Dr. Web anti-virus plugins but they just don't compare to
MailScanner w/ MailWatch.

I followed the instructions to setup MailScanner with Qmail here:

http://qms.ausics.net/

I verified all the perl modules and checked the updates to the
MailScanner.conf file. When I started MailScanner the init script complained
that the MTA was invalid. I started Qmail manually and sent a test message.
When the message hit the SMTP I got a queue error returned to the client.

I ran this command and the queue errors went away:

chmod u+s /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue

Now a test message produces this in the log:

relaylock: /var/qmail/bin/relaylock: mail from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:61451
(my.domain.com)
MailScanner[6489]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages, 668 bytes
MailScanner[6489]: SpamAssassin cache hit for message 7064403
MailScanner[6489]: Virus and Content Scanning: Starting
MailScanner[6489]: Uninfected: Delivered 1 messages
MailScanner[6489]: Logging message 7064403 to SQL
MailScanner[6451]: 7064403: Logged to MailWatch SQL

When I checked the other mailbox for the message I found that it was never
received. I enabled debugging and got this output when I tried another test
message:

/usr/sbin/MailScanner
In Debugging mode, not forking...
Ignore errors about failing to find EOCD signature

<CLIENT> line 34.
Commmit ineffective while AutoCommit is on at
/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/CustomFunctions/MailWatch.pm line 93,
<CLIENT> line 34. 



I know this patch for Qmail is pretty old and I wonder if this is the cause
or if it's more likely to be a problem with the Plesk version of Qmail. Can
anyone give me some ideas to troubleshoot this?


Thanks,
Cameron
