ConfigServer Community Forum

Dear All,

Today the bug of the year 2010 showed its face in spamassassin
cPanel issued a fast bugfix, but it did not work in my server. I suspect the problem is that cpanel uses standard paths for spamassassin while configserver uses a customized installation path

cPanel tells you to run the following script:
/scripts/autorepair spamd_y2010_fix

But it may fail because of wrong directory or...

i had ordered server package last month , but due to some issues i had to reinstall os on server , i had installed all but dont know how to setup cron to run daily in the root crontab which checks /etc/localdomains and makes sure that there is an entry for any domain listed within the rules files

please let me know process , thank you

Turning up a new server and somewhat baffled by what is going on..The only thing i did was a cpanel update, however since i only use configserver tools for my anti-spam i am at a loss as to why i am getting these repeated errors on my server

Can someone tell me where the list of found words is so I can edit it? We are getting too many emails triggered as SPAM since this feature was introduced.

Thanks.

Has there been a change?

Upon noting that my mailscanner db was very large, I tried the usual fix:

mysql -e drop database mailscanner
perl /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/3rdparty/mailwatch/install/mwadd.pl

But there is no longer a /mailwatch directory within /3rdparty

Here did mwadd.pl go, and how can I get it back?

Hello,

New files of office 2007, using extension docx is blocked by default from mailscanner.

example:

MailScanner: Attempt to hide real filename extension

(document.xml.rel)

What is the best solution to not block this file, but without remove checking for hide filename extensions?

Thanks

I upgraded both MSFE (4.29) and the Mail Scanner Script (2.76) this morning and now I'm getting all kinds of errors and some users are reporting problems sending messages (but not receiving them.)

CPanel has been sending me messages like this:

exim-465 failed @ Tue Oct 13 13:19:27 2009. A restart was attempted automagically.

I've had MailScanner installed for 3 or so years with no problems. I've recently noticed that dostech_sare.txt has the original time stamp of Aug 14, 2007 grabbed from your site. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a static file but my suspicion is no.

Can you shed any light on this? Thanks.

I've used MailScanner for years and it works quite well. But for some reason on a few accounts it is either not tagging spam or not deleting spam that is tagged even though that's the setting for the account in MailScanner Configuration for that account.

When MS failed because of that perl module, I did the updates however things just have not been right since.

It appears that mail just builds up in the queue for an hour or so, sometimes less, sometimes more. But it's not working the way it used to. I really need mail to be delivered instantaneously.

Is this a MS config setting?

Should I reinstall MS?

Or is it a pure exim problem?...

Just updated MailScanner - v4.77.10 installed
ConfigServer MailScanner Script - v2.75 installed and up to date.
Now it won't start.
I'm getting these errors, and I'm not sure what to do now. Suggestions welcome.

Hi,

I'm using mailscanner on a freebsd machine 7.2 with clamav.
It all runs fine and seems to process much more mail than the other 2 machines / nodes. However after a while clamav seems to crash with an error can't connect to demon. This happens after about a week or so, I have to restart mailscanner and sometimes even the node itself.

I'm wondering if anyone has any knowledge of any better av...

It would like an aid, I obtain to block e-mails with definitive extensions. The Sender receives the notification and the addressee receives a message that the annex of the email was barred in the server.

I want that the server does not deliver this email and that he only orders notification when sender

Somebody can give one help?

I have a single user that is getting 1-2 thousand SPAM messages a day. I have increased the SPAM score for the domain but fear it will impact the others users.

What can I do to help this user?

I have enabled Spamhaus and RBL but no luck.

Thoughts?

Thanks
Joe

I am trying to speed up MailScanner on one of our servers, so in the MailScanner configs we have this:

Lately, our hosted customers have been hammered by (male sex) drug spam. The message only contains a single image. Most of them advertise

The messages are obviously coming from all over, broken/hacked PCs servers, proxies, you name it. The Spam Assassin score never seems to get above 3 or so.

Is there any way we can battle this? We are getting plenty of complaints.

I've searched the net and these forums and can't seem to find an answer.

I'm getting a lot of spam with the subject starting with {Spam? 0} but the headers show MailScanner-SpamScore: ssssssssssssssssssss and I can't figure out why it does that.

Here's the headers from an email doing that and another spam not doing that.
