MailScanner w/ Qmail / Plesk ( format error: file is too short )

[Cameron B. Prince]

Hi Pravin,

Thanks for your reply... I did some further testing after reading your post.
When I send a message to the Qmail SMTP server a file is created as follows:

maillog: May  9 13:41:38 relaylock: /var/qmail/bin/relaylock: mail from
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:62279 (my.domain.com)
path: /var/qmail/queue.in/mess/14
file: -rw-r--r--   1 qmailq nofiles  669 May  9 13:41 7064533


I ran the inject command as you directed and the message is sent and
received in the other mailbox:

command: /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject.mailscanner cprince at princeinternet.com
< 7064533
maillog:

May  9 13:45:38 qmail: 1178736338.084522 new msg 7064535
May  9 13:45:38 qmail: 1178736338.084561 info msg 7064535: bytes 737 from

May  9 13:45:38 qmail: 1178736338.087267 starting delivery 3: msg 7064535 to
local 1-cprince at domain.com
May  9 13:45:38 qmail: 1178736338.087284 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
May  9 13:45:38 qmail: 1178736338.091709 delivery 3: success: did_1+0+1/
May  9 13:45:38 qmail: 1178736338.091730 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
May  9 13:45:38 qmail: 1178736338.091742 end msg 7064535


Once I run MailScanner, it reads the file in the queue but fails with the
same error:

/usr/sbin/MailScanner
In Debugging mode, not forking...
Ignore errors about failing to find EOCD signature
format error: file is too short
 at /usr/sbin/MailScanner line 832
Stopping now as you are debugging me.
commit ineffective with AutoCommit enabled at
/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/CustomFunctions/MailWatch.pm line 93,
<CLIENT> line 34.
Commmit ineffective while AutoCommit is on at
/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/CustomFunctions/MailWatch.pm line 93,
<CLIENT> line 34.


Do you have any other thoughts?

Thanks,
Cameron
