Upgrade Wrecks MailScanner

Tue Oct 11 07:43:44 UTC 2016

Hi Paul, 

Wat CentOS version are you using? 
What MTA are you using? 
What is the output of MailScanner --lint ? 

I upgraded from 4.8.5 to 5.0.3 and after a initial hickup everything is running smoothly now. I did a clean install on a new server. So: My old mailscanner was on CentOS 5; created a new virtual machine with CentOS 6. Did a clean install and copied all the extra configuration files to the new server 

Met vriendelijke groet, Best regards,

Onderwerp: Upgrade Wrecks MailScanner 

An upgrade from 4.85 to 5.0.3 caused a great deal of errors during the install, on my CentOS server. After the install, all of the REPORTS files were missing from the associated directory. Thank goodness I had made a full backup of the original MailScanner files, and was able to put all of those files back again. However, a great deal of spam is now getting through, and I am afraid that most of the settings in the mailscanner.conf file are somehow not working. For example, the ”required_hits” rule no longer seems to work. Also the custom files are no longer readable by mailscanner, in particular, the “Config.pm” file that is used by MailWatch. Also, MailWatch is no longer working at all. 

Also, I am receiving the following error to the root user, every few minutes: 

Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2014 14:50:02 -0800 

From: Cron Daemon <root at mail.edenhosting.net> 

To: root at mail.edenhosting.net 

Subject: Cron <root at mail> /usr/local/bin/mailq.php 

Cannot find configuration value: include in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf 

Any ideas about what happened and what I should do to get back on track? I have been using MailScanner for more than 10+ years, and EVERY upgrade worked like a charm. This is the first time that an upgrade has failed so badly. Any help is greatly appreciated! 

Sincerely,
