Fedora 18 and MailScanner

[Quintin Giesbrecht]

I have searched the archives, googled, etc...I cannot find a solution to this, so if someone has already asked/solved this, please kindly point me to the artice or post.  Thanks!

I was a long time user of Mailscanner until about a year ago, when my firm bought an appliance - which I have grown to HATE (in respect to spam/anti-virus)...so, I am trying to setup a new MailScanner machine...



I am getting an error when starting MailScanner.  From the logs:

Apr  8 12:40:57 localhost systemd[1]: Starting SYSV: MailScanner is an open-source E-Mail Gateway Virus Scanner....
Apr  8 12:40:58 localhost MailScanner[1906]: Starting MailScanner daemons:
Apr  8 12:40:58 localhost MailScanner[1906]: incoming sendmail: [  OK  ]
Apr  8 12:40:58 localhost MailScanner[1906]: outgoing sendmail: [  OK  ]
Apr  8 12:40:59 localhost MailScanner[1906]: MailScanner:       [  OK  ]
Apr  8 12:40:59 localhost systemd[1]: PID file /var/run/MailScanner.pid not readable (yet?) after start.
Apr  8 12:42:15 localhost systemd[1]: MailScanner.service never wrote its PID file. Failing.
Apr  8 12:42:15 localhost systemd[1]: Failed to start SYSV: MailScanner is an open-source E-Mail Gateway Virus Scanner..
Apr  8 12:42:15 localhost systemd[1]: Unit MailScanner.service entered failed state
Apr  8 12:45:16 localhost chronyd[675]: Selected source 198.100.149.6

It is failing to write the PID file.  Anyone run into this?  Any ideas as to the issue, or how to solve?  If you need more info, please ask.

Thanks so much for any help.
