Hello

We are having customers complain that their attachments are being flagged as viruses. They are sending the new Office 2007 files (ie docx, xlsx pptx).

Is there a way around this? Where / what do I change to fix this?

Thank you.

I have a customer who has all of their email aliases forwarded to other external accounts such as Yahoo and Hotmail. This causes a problem as it has been forwarding {Spam?} and {DefinitelySpam?} email to these external accounts. Yahoo doesn't like my server anymore because to them it looks like my server is spamming theirs. Is there any specific way to allow email to get forwarded that doesn't...

Hi

We follow the suggestion about changing MailScanner virus scanner to clamd, but have the following problems:

Frist, clamd starts using about 32Mb, but sometimes, don't know why, rises up to 150mb ... and suddenly stops working.

Cpanel doesn't monitor clamd unless clamvconnect is intalled, which breaks MailScanner. We installed one of the routines that comes with ClamAV to monitor clamd, but...

Hi,
Since months I am getting big number of viruses from one particulary IP - 87.89.106.214.
I would like to block it permamently so no email from this IP will be processed by my server at all.
Ive tried method described here -

This is case for whitelists, but I thought there will be the same way for blacklist aswell, but I cannot find /etc/exim_deny_whitelist file at all. There wasn't also a...

When I typed # pico /etc/rc.local under shell, I don't see any MailScanner entry. How do I make sure that MailScanner will automatically start up upon server reboot?

Hello,

I was using the nice MailScanner setup for cPanel on my Fedora Core 4 server.
It was working fine for 4 months until yesterday.
When trying to start MailScanner I get a Segmentation Fault.

Anyone experiencing this problem?

If you need more info from me then please ask.

Please help.

Thanks

Is it posible to install MailWatch without MailScanner ?

Hello,

After the update of mailscanner this morning, I see this message in the Front-end:

MailScanner Status: Stopped!

And it's impossible to restart it. All the email is in the queue of the server but not delivered.

What can I do to restart the mailscanner?

also, when I click on Access MailWatch, I receive this error:

Warning: fgets() : Length parameter must be greater than 0 in...

Happy New Year Folks:

I was following the instructions on the Updating MailScanner and ClamAV page earlier this afternoon on my primary server:

When I reached the part where I had to check if the latest version of the clamavmodule is installed (by issuing the following command):

/scripts/perlinstaller --force Mail::ClamAV

I experienced the following problem:

A problem was encountered...

Hello,

Local emails sent from one user mail account to another mail account on the same server (whether the same domain or another domain but still local to that server) are not arriving in the destination mailbox.

I can see the mail entries arriving in exim_mainlog, but after that there is nothing at all, no failure, no error, nothing arrives at all. Its been like this for a week or so now...

mail from my server is getting caught by spamasssin URIBL_SBL but in checking the ip address is not listed on ANY spam or relay site

Any ideas on where else to look for cause of this false positive ?
Its ironic that this email in question was private message notice from site on my server to me

For some reason today I just got an email from RulesDuJour Run Summary.

but at the end I get this:

Is there anyway to shut down Mailscanner without uninstalling it? I tried service MailScanner stop which worked but then I didn't receive any email the entire time it was off.

I have a really heavy load on the server right now (Christmas) and I need the resources that Mailscanner uses. After the holidays I want to fire it back up.

Thanks

First Post! (Of many I'm sure)

I use RBLs, but I can't figure out a good setting for Spam Lists To Be Spam and Spam Lists To Reach High Score . When I set the former to be 1 and the latter to 2 (as suggested) I end up with some definite spam leaking through. The sender is listed in one RBL, the score is set to 0.00 and no more checks seem to be done. The mail slips right on through. I would love...

Hi all

Is it possible to change / remove the email subjects that Mailscanner adds to suspected SPAM? Especially for outgoing emails?

Their client complain about this, and it's rather anoying. I realize these headers could become useful, but how do we use them? And how do I disable them on the server?

Did the upgrade to mailscanner per instructions, started upgrading to clamav per instructions until I got to here:

replace Example #Example -- /usr/local/etc/freshclam.conf
replace Example #Example -- /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf

I believe I was to edit the conf files and replace them at mention, correct? If so, the next instruction says to run freshclam, did and got this error:

ERROR: Parse...

MailScanner analyze each message and each condition give point, if the total point is over the spam value it will be check as spam.

That is great, but we need a document that explain each condition (the names doesnt give us any idea of what they are).

I also interest if the full report is include in the message and not only the total points.

Heya,

I had a funky thing happening where my MailScanner was tagging ALL email coming in/out as {Spam}... ultimately, I turned it off, but I need to get back in and get filtering turned on again. I can't stand the spam. It was working great for a while, but I'm not sure if the problems happened after some upgrade I did or what... I didn't hear about the problem (or notice it myself) until it had...
