<div dir="ltr">I hope you don't find my attitude lazy since I feel the server should serve me and not the other way round, so I try to keep things as simple as possible while providing the features I want. For this reason I have never looked at running the mta by itself. I have tried downloading the latest version of MailScanner from <a href="http://www.mailscanner.org">www.mailscanner.org</a> and installed it. I have also tried using cpan to update Archive::Zip and, as suggested, Scalar::Init. Neither help as even running "/usr/sbin/MailScanner -v" returns an error. I will disable yum if that is what it takes to make the system work properly. I suspect it is also the cause of dhcpd.conf file periodically having it's DNS info overwriten. I have relied on yum to keep me patched so as to reduce hacking risks.<br>
<br>The bottom line is I'm still stuffed. I read throught 2 months of mailling list listings before placing my message but guess I should return and read more.<br><br>Thanks for your advice.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Down because you don't want to run your mta by itself. Down because you ran a peel update that broke several things.<br>
<br>
Update MailScanner, along with other relevant perl modules such as scalar::util, and do a --lint. Run your my by itself in the meantime. Disable yum updates.<br>

Hi guys,<br>
MailScanner is failing to start on my CentOS 5 server due to what appears to be an issue with perl-Archive-Zip. When I issue a "service MailScanner start" I get the following error:<br>
<br>
Starting MailScanner daemons:<br>
incoming sendmail: [ OK ]<br>
outgoing sendmail: [ OK ]<br>
MailScanner: is only avaliable with the XS version at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Compress/Zlib.pm line 9<br>

<br>
>From what I can gather the issue could be with perl-Archive-Zip and according to yum is "perl-Archive-Zip.noarch 1.23-1.el5.rf installed". The latest version I can find is 1.24 but not packaged for CentOS.<br>
<br>
I wellcome any suggestions as the email for my whole domain has now been down for serveral hours and I'm running out of ideas fo how to fix this!<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
David<br></div></div>
