***POTENTIALLY SPAM*** Re: Fedora 18 and MailScanner

[Quintin Giesbrecht]

And further to the CentOS question, do I want to run the 64bit version?

Thanks for any advice.

As I recall, you don't need Spamassassin to run Mailscanner, so I'd be a little careful when you deem it "fixed". I totally agree with Jerry here also. It has got to be easier to install Centos and maintain it that to use Fedora.

No what I mean is there might not even be a /var/run. It may be /usr/lib/run on his system. Point is that he needs to check the path used in MailScanner.conf as the first step.

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 12:45:16 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.
