FW: New help installing MailScanner

Thu Jul 18 04:33:19 IST 2013

Hi,

I've successfully installed MailScanner.

The solutions were as follows:

2. ERROR: The "envelope_sender_header" in your spam.assassin.prefs.conf

ERROR: is not correct, it should match X-yoursite-MailScanner-From

%org-name% ABC in MailScanner.conf should match

envelope_sender_header X-ABC-MailScanner-From in spam.assassin.prefs.conf
(which I found J)

3. /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin.cache.db and
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Processing.db

Were owned by root not postfix. As soon as I changed that it all worked.

1.       Setting up unrar - still looking into that.

Thanks 

David J.

Hi,

Thanks for your help so far.

I installed MailScanner, configured it for postfix 

a.       I ran the postfix chroot script and it seemed to work fine.  I then
followed the instructions on the MailScanner web site about setting up
MailScanner with postfix.

b.      Spam assassin was installed from a respository for this OS wrt
co-location company I'm using.

I'm able to send email but it gets stuck in the mailq eg . mailq

I ran MailScanner -lint

The errors are:

1. The unrar I'll do last but the spam assassin is not working.

2. ERROR: The "envelope_sender_header" in your spam.assassin.prefs.conf

ERROR: is not correct, it should match X-yoursite-MailScanner-From

I do a:  locate spam.assassin.prefs.conf but I find only
/etc/MailScanner/mcp/mcp.spam.assassin.prefs.conf

3.  Could not create SpamAssassin cache database
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin.cache.db at
/usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/SA.pm line 232

Could not create SpamAssassin cache database
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin.cache.db

SpamAssassin reported no errors.

I have found sophos scanners installed, and will use them all by default.

ERROR: Could not connect to SQLite database
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Processing.db, either I cannot write to that
location or your SQLite installation is screwed. at /usr/sbin/MailScanner
line 1763

Howevere, in /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming the 2 db files are there yet
the error keeps coming up

4. The SQLite error - I'm not sure what that means

Here is the output of MailScanner -lint

Trying to setlogsock(unix)

Reading configuration file /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf

Reading configuration file /etc/MailScanner/conf.d/README

Read 873 hostnames from the phishing whitelist

Read 3966 hostnames from the phishing blacklists

Checking version numbers...

Version number in MailScanner.conf (4.84.6) is correct.

Unrar is not installed, it should be in /usr/bin/unrar.

This is required for RAR archives to be read to check

filenames and filetypes. Virus scanning is not affected.

ERROR: The "envelope_sender_header" in your spam.assassin.prefs.conf

ERROR: is not correct, it should match X-yoursite-MailScanner-From

MailScanner setting GID to  (89)

MailScanner setting UID to  (89)

Checking for SpamAssassin errors (if you use it)...

Using SpamAssassin results cache

Using locktype = posix

MailScanner.conf says "Virus Scanners = auto"

Found these virus scanners installed: sophos

===========================================================================

Filename Checks: Windows/DOS Executable (1 eicar.com)

Other Checks: Found 1 problems

Virus and Content Scanning: Starting

>>> Virus 'EICAR-AV-Test' found in file ./1/eicar.com

Virus Scanning: Sophos found 1 infections

Infected message 1 came from 10.1.1.1

Virus Scanning: Found 1 viruses

===========================================================================

Virus Scanner test reports:

Sophos said ">>> Virus 'EICAR-AV-Test' found in file ./1/eicar.com"

If any of your virus scanners (sophos)

are not listed there, you should check that they are installed correctly

and that MailScanner is finding them correctly via its virus.scanners.conf.

Thanks

David,

Postfix handles MailDir just fine with MailScanner in the mix.

Stephen
