Install Latest Version

Sun Aug 9 22:21:51 UTC 2020

Okay, I was able to figure out why the CPAN issues were happening, and resolved it.

If ICMP is disabled on our edge firewall (a Cisco ASA5540) for this particular machine, the MailScanner update process would fail.

I ran the upgrade process again, and it worked without exhibiting any errors.

However, MailScanner still does NOT seem to be working as it should, because each email that comes in, is simply handled by Sendmail only.

MailScanner does not do anything, i.e., there is info in the maillog to indicate that it scanned the incoming email at all.

It starts okay, and logs during startup, but after that, nothing.

I have no idea what is going on.  Where should I start, in debugging what is going on?

Here is my system configuration:

[root at fs9 log]# lsb_release -a

             (node name) $k = fs9.edenhosting.net
========================================================

root... deliverable: mailer local, user root
[root at fs9 log]#

And I am using dovecot for the email delivery.

Please let me know what I can do to get MailScanner working again.  Very much appreciated.  Thank you!

First and foremost I would figure out why CPAN cannot download sources and once resolved and re-run

ms-configure --update

Hello Shawn,

I went ahead and downloaded and tried installing the latest version, and got many of these types of warnings:

Is this going to cause any problems?

However, the install seemed to complete okay, and I restarted all of the necessary services, but I still do not ever see MailScanner processing any new emails as they come in.  When I restarted MailScanner, and viewed the maillog, and all that I see is the standard startup banners, but after that, MailScanner never does anything.

Do you know what might be wrong?

Thank you very much for your help.

The distribution specific packages are no longer tarballs and are distributed entirely as a package.

To update your system:

rpm -Uvh MailScanner-5.3.3-1.rhel.noarch.rpm

/usr/sbin/ms-configure --update

Hello,

I am currently running on MailScanner v5.12, and would like to update to the very latest version (v5.3.3-1).

Upon clicking on the download link, I noticed that the only release types for "rhel" are rpms.

When I last installed MailScanner, I downloaded the following package:

MailScanner-5.1.2.-2.rhel.tar.gz

This type of package is no longer available.  Please let me know what I should do.  Thank you!

Also, I noticed that, although it appears to be running on the system, I am not seeing the usual messages that MailScanner puts in the /var/log/maillog while processing.

I had a power outage at the building where the server is hosted, and it seems this issue started after that.

Thank you very much for your help.
