Hello,

After upgrading mailscanner today, it is no longer scanning messages and keeps showing the following errors in the log:

I have installed mailscanner using the configserver install script from here:

It installs MailScanner version v4.84.5 which according to the change log was released 5/3/2012. Is it possible to install/support version 4.85.2-2 which was released 13 April 2015?

EDIT:

Is it as simple as changing the following two lines in msinstall.pl?

About 70% of my customers on my small shared hosting service have WordPress installed, and Mailscanner seems to mark all messages from WordPress sites as spam. Whether it's via a contact form on the sites, or even just the automated notifications from WP (such as password change alerts, new user registration alerts, etc...) they all get marked as spam by Mailscanner.

Naturally this turns into...

Hi all,

Mailscanner is not blocking viruses. I have checked the virus.delivery.rules (all set to no) and virus.scanning.rules (all set to yes)

Example:

I have been running the ConfigServer FE to MailScanner for years with very few issues.

But now, when I click on Access Mailwatch, I get the error message
You do not have permission to run this script
If I log on a root, which I prefer not to, I can run it, but when I log on as a whm user that is supposed to have full privileges to run everything I cannot.

So, there must be a configuration file...

I've got a pretty solid config of MS and SA working but some spam slips through no matter how hard I try to nail it down.

Lately for the last few weeks a very specific type of spam keeps getting through. The messages always look about the same. I run the sa-learn stuff on them always but it doesn't seem to be learning as I still get a few of these a day, sometimes up to 10 a day, strait in to...

Hi, running MailScanner v4.84.5 and in the past have always put custom rules scores in /usr/mailscanner/etc/spamassassin.user.prefs.conf

Recently the custom scores in this file are being ignored and a score from somewhere else is being used. For example in spamassassin.user.prefs.conf I have
score URIBL_BLACK 6.0 6.0 6.0 6.0

But when URIBL_BLACK is triggered by an email message, the score is...

Hi,

I am following the instructions provided by the MSF devs as per:

I am running CentOS 7 and it does not seem to work, getting:

Job for clamd.service failed. See 'systemctl status clamd.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

Is it not compatible?

I need your help:

I was updating other srvices in cPanel Service Manager and when I clicked Save I got the failure described bellow.

It appears to be a Mailscanner bug.

Please help

After moving MS and MSFE to a new server, it seems more junk is being missed than on the old box. I'm assuming it's because of my not installing Razor and DCC, as all other settings match the old box. I've been looking for some time now for the instructions for installing and configuring these in MS that I know I'd read on the FAQ in the past, but can't find them.

Can anyone point me to the...

Hello

We run ubuntu 14.04 with Postfix and Mailscanner installed for scanning our emails.
Today we received an email from one of our users about and email containing .dwg files in a zipped file.

This email had been blocked in the Mailscanner with the message MailScanner: No programs allowed (113B0K21.dwg)

As before we added some new rules to both filename.rules.conf and filetype.rules.conf...

Servers with Mailscanner installed complains about The service “clamd” appears to be down.

I use Bayes filtering with Mailwatch and are very pleased with the results. Little gets through but spammers are cleaver.

I sometimes use the blacklist in MailScanner Frontend to block specific hosts such as *@baddomain. However many spammers use spam@sub.sub.sub.domain and it isn't feasible to list all their hosts in the blacklist. Is there a way to block *@*.domain so to speak in Mailscanner...

Hi,

for some reason I found our mailscanner to have issues with gmail.com:

exim -bt user@gmail.com
user@gmail.com cannot be resolved at this time: All deliveries are handled by MailScanner

Also all emails sent from gmail to our server receive a 550 sender verify failed. This issue gets resolved when disabling mailscanner. What could be the cause of this?

Hello guys, I have a problem that has generated an error message in the log /var/log/maillog

plugin: eval failed: bayes: (in learn) locker: safe_lock: cannot create lockfile /var/spool/mqueue/.spamassassin/bayes.mutex: Permission denied

anyone out there know how to fix this? I've tried permissions 0777 but did not work.

I tried to send a spam report using Mailwatch but received the following error:

SpamAssassin: Jun 2 11:39:27.660 warn: reporter: razor2 report failed: No such file or directory report requires authentication at /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/perl/514/lib64/perl5/cpanel_lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/Razor2.pm line 177. at...

Is there a way we can prevent local users on a hosted domain from scanning all together?

We have users that cannot email each other in the same domain without being picked up in the mailscanner. At the same time if i whitelist there domain, this allows spoofed emails from outside to come into our system without scanning.

Hi,
I am trying to edit SA rules but I am little confused. I found their two location in my server.
1st. location: /var/lib/spamassassin
2nd. loc.: /usr/share/spamassassin

How can I find which of them use SA, or maybe SA use them both?

best regards,
Piotr
