Problem with mailscanner form out of nowhere

[Jonas Akrouh Larsen]

--debug --debug-sa is the same except more output.

MailScanner -V didn’t report any missing modules or any errors.

I went ahead and upgraded mailscanner to the newest stable (4.71.10) which didn’t help anything. I was on 4.71.7 before that.

MailScanner --lint didn’t cause any problems.

The solution though was as I suspected to remove 3 mails from the queue. Now it appears to run ok.

Although it’s a bit troublesome that MailScanner wasn’t able to report any meaningfull error.

I have saved the 3 trouble mails and if I get time im gonna look and test them tomorrow on my other scanners.

They are all spam mails so no worries about them not being delivered.

But its gonna be interesting to see if they can crash my other 2 scanners as well.

I will try and report back my findings.

Have a nice Sunday ya'll.

Hi List

 

1 of my scanners starting having issues over the weekend.

 

After having stopped it and run a -debug on it it reports the following:

 

scanner0:/etc/init.d# /opt/MailScanner/bin/MailScanner --debug

In Debugging mode, not forking...

Trying to setlogsock(unix)

SpamAssassin temp dir = /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin-Temp

Building a message batch to scan...

Have a batch of 15 messages.

Modification of a read-only value attempted at
/opt/MailScanner/lib/MailScanner/Log.pm line 117, <GEN76> line 110.

 

And then it just quits.

 

I have not upgraded anything on the system recently and haven't had any
problems.

 

The only thing I could find was an old mention of a similar perl error on
the list which seemed to sugest it had something to do with "bad" mails in
the queue.

 

 

Do anybody have any idea what might be going on?

 

Desperately seeking advice
