MailScanner Lint Error

Mon Aug 10 23:40:47 UTC 2020

Well, I just received this email, no problem, but indeed it is the first that I've I've receieved from you since last week sometime.  My direct email address is sales at edenusa.com.  And I actually am deaf, having ruined my ears playing very loud concerts most of my life as a touring musician.  I appreciate your help Shawn.  Thank you.

I think my replies are falling on deaf ears... if someone could help Paul with sendmail & mailscanner, much appreciated.  I don't think he is getting my replies to the list, and direct replies are bouncing.

Hello Louis,

Thank you very much for your reply.  This is turning out to be a very difficult issue to fix.

I went in to the /etc/MailScanner/spamassassin.conf file, and found this option, and uncommented it:

# =============== RBSL related items ===============

# By default, SpamAssassin will run RBL checks.  If your ISP already

# does this, stop RBL checks in SpamAssassin by un-commenting the

# following line

skip_rbl_checks 1

I then ran the sa-update again, and then MailScanner –lint again, and now it’s clean (see below—looking good).

I also ran the spamassassin -D –lint command, and it produced a massive amount of output, which seemed to show that all was good.

So, I think spamassassin is okay, and is working fine.

Therefore, the only program still remaining is that MailScanner itself is not doing any processing of any incoming messages.

That is, nothing at all is appearing in the maillog to indicate that MailScanner is processing messages.

Any ideas what may be wrong?

Thank you for your help!

I don't know your running os, but on debian, running su-update is done as the user running the service.

i suspect wrong rights somewhere.

i had it myself, also due running sa-update as root.

I hope it helps.

Greetz,

Louis

Hello MailScanner folks and friends:

I continue to hammer away at trying to get MailScanner working again.  I managed to get the install to run without error, but I still do not see MailScanner actively processing any SPAM at all in the “maillog” log file.  It only shows its startup messages, and that’s it.  The process ID remains running, but MailScanner is effectively dead (doesn’t do any work).  I also did successfully use CPAN to upgrade Spam Assassin to the very latest version, just now.

[root at fs9 log]# spamassassin -V

SpamAssassin version 3.4.4

  running on Perl version 5.10.1

[root at fs9 log]#

After that, I tried MailScanner –lint, and had some issues, which I fixed, until I now have this result:

[root at fs9 ~]# MailScanner --lint

I don’t know what this error means, or how to fix it—I did run “sa-update”, and it did not fix it:

config: registryboundaries: no tlds defined, need to run sa-update

Can you please let me know how to fix this?

Also, of interest, I read in the spamassassin.conf that there is a Processing.db, that is in the /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming folder, and to clear it, you delete it, and it should be recreated when MailScanner is restarted, it will be recreated.  I tried that, but it did NOT get recreated, not sure why.  Any ideas?

The bottom line here is that MailScanner is not doing what it should be doing, and that is scanning incoming mail.  I am having a great deal of trouble figure this out.  Please help.  Thank you very much!
