Hi all

 

I am having huge issues at the moment I don't know whether this is just me !

 

I have several servers out there in the world all running freebsd either 4x
, 6x and 7x. all have combination of mailscanner, clamav and spamassasin
installed 

 

This server I am trying to fix is having these problems below 

 

May 26 10:14:51 jjfw MailScanner[46682]: Using SpamAssassin results cache 

May 26 10:14:51 jjfw MailScanner[46682]: Connected to SpamAssassin cache
database 

May 26 10:14:51 jjfw MailScanner[46682]: Enabling SpamAssassin
auto-whitelist functionality... 

May 26 10:14:55 jjfw MailScanner[46683]: MailScanner E-Mail Virus Scanner
version 4.67.6 starting... 

May 26 10:14:56 jjfw MailScanner[46683]: Read 748 hostnames from the
phishing whitelist 

May 26 10:14:56 jjfw MailScanner[46683]: Could not read phishing blacklist
file  

May 26 10:14:56 jjfw MailScanner[46683]: User's home directory
/var/spool/postfix is not writable 

May 26 10:14:56 jjfw MailScanner[46683]: You need to set the "SpamAssassin
User State Dir" to a directory that the "Run As User" can write to 

May 26 10:14:56 jjfw MailScanner[46683]: SpamAssassin temporary working
directory is /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin-Temp

 

 

This happens every single time a update is done in the software. I had these
issues at home and rebuilt my server how ever being this is a server in
major corporation I just can't come in there and reinstall it. 

 

This has only happened this morning, I don't have the server doing automatic
software updates I do them manually. I just had a phone call saying that no
mail is getting tagged or there not getting any at all. 

 

This server was updated back in March I believe because of the ORBL problem
which I later discovered I can just comment out of file so I didn't need to
upgrade it then believe is the output of the /var/spool/postfix I am not to
go with the file permissions so I am not sure if these are correct

 

cwroot at jjfw[10:26am]/var/spool/postfix-103# ll
