Upgrade Wrecks MailScanner

[Paul Scott]

Hello Mark,

In answer to your questions, I have the following:

1. Everything in the MailScanner --lint test is now working (I fixed the DCC issue by manually starting the dccfid service), except the "mktemp" error, which is as follows:

mktemp: invalid option -- -
Usage: mktemp [-V] | [-dqtu] [-p prefix] [template]
Found these virus scanners installed: clamavmodule
===========================================================================
Virus and Content Scanning: Starting
mktemp: invalid option -- -
Usage: mktemp [-V] | [-dqtu] [-p prefix] [template]
ERROR: Option --tempdir requires a non-empty string argument
ERROR: Can't parse command line options
===========================================================================

2. The output of the command "[root at mail log]# /usr/sbin/ms-peek IncomingWorkDir /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf" is as follows:

/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming


3. The content of the "defaults" file shows the following:

## Files

# MailScanner configuration file
# 
# by default the file /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf is used to pull
# various settings for the daemon and permissions for working directories.
# You may set a different custom file here. Normally this should not be
# changed. Any custom settings in /etc/MailScanner/conf.d/ will be
# picked up without changing this value.  
# 
ms_conf=/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf


4. Your comment " MailScanner is not scanning messages. There is an issue because MailScanner's init.d script used to start the two required sendmail processes in a sendmail configuration. It no longer does this so sendmail is probably not being started as required by MailScanner." IS EXACTLY CORRECT.  How can I go about fixing this, so that sendmail is started with MailScanner?  I used to be able to do this:

[root at mail MailScanner]# service MailScanner restart
MailScanner: unrecognized service
[root at mail MailScanner]#

Now I have to restart MailScanner this way:

[root at mail MailScanner]# service mailscanner restart
Restarting MailScanner ...


MailScanner restarted with process id 13361
[root at mail MailScanner]#

So I just need to know how to get sendmail and MailScanner to start up properly, the way they used to, and I should be back in business.

Thank you so much for all of your help!  Much appreciated!

Sincerely, Paul Scott

So that explains partially what is going on, if indeed, the ENTIRE new MailScanner.conf is being wiped out by this "include" file.   So I renamed that file, and now, lo-and-behold, the --lint test works much better, but still has some errors:

This is an issue between Spamassassin and DCC. Something is not configuredcorrectly or DCC isn't running or ??

This comes from /usr/lib/MailScanner/wrapper/clamav-wrapper.

I think I asked before, what does

/usr/sbin/ms-peek IncomingWorkDir /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf


report, or is there a setting for 'ms_conf' in /etc/MailScanner/defaults other than

ms_conf=/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
