Hehehe
For a moment there I thought I was going about this wrong the whole time. I have 1 production setup for a company of 20 users and 1 setup for private use. My 3rd setup is a dev setup for testing.
*wipes sweat frrom brow*
Glad to be of help.

How would I go about integrating a third party POP mail into this configuration?
Has anyone tried fetchmail/procmail with Mailscanner etc?
I have an additional POP account I'd like to run through mailscanner, check for spam etc, then deliver to a courier-imap running under a postfix/clamav/spamassassin setup.
Doable? |

Thanks for the feedback. I found the problem. Just in case anyone else has a similiar problem, you might need to set 'SpamAssassin Install Prefix =' in your MailScanner.conf. I missed it the first time through  |

im having trouble with your init script. it gave me errors so i altered it a little but now i just get different errors:
| Code: | www root # /etc/init.d/mailscanner start
* ERROR: "/etc/init.d/mailscanner" has syntax errors in it; not executing...
|
if i run the lines from the script itself everything starts fine
| Code: | #!/sbin/runscript
depend() {
need net
use logger dns
}
start() {
ebegin "Starting Incoming Postfix"
/usr/sbin/postfix -c /etc/postfix.in start &>/dev/null
eend $?

radixvir,
You can check out this bug page for more info: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36060
It has the latest init.d info and even an ebuild for MailScanner.
You can also check out the latest howto info here: http://footon.jheslop.com/howto
If you have any other issues that are not found out here let me know. Thanks,
Jeremy

Anbody else with this setup upgrade to postfix 2.1.3 and have problems? All my email piles up in the mail queue. mail.log says: | Code: | | status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: deferred transport) |
If I start up postfix with it's own start up scripts it works fine. |

| Thats excatly the same problem I'm having. All the mail is stuck in the mail queue and not delivered or sent. I haven't had time to figure out why so I've just been using postfix w/ mailscanner and it works. Good to know I'm not alone. |

Fixed the deferred problem.
Comment out the last line in /etc/postfix/main.cf:
#home_mailbox = .maildir/
Then:
cp /etc/postfix/* /etc/postfix.in |

i have the same problem but i don't get your solution. with commenting out you really mean comenting out, i guess so
| Code: | | #home_mailbox = .maildir/ |
becomes
| Code: | | home_mailbox = .maildir/ |
.
what is your cp command doing? have you created a new directory
and simply copied everything over? why is that?
the thing is that postfix works for me - but not if something prohibits my mailserver in delivering the mails (for example a broken adsl-connection). if that happens i get all these deferred mails ...

When I updated to 2.1.3 it added another "home_mailbox = .maildir/" to my main.cf making a total of two. You don't need two so I commented the last one out. Deleting the line would have worked just as well.

If you setup your email according to this howto, you would create /etc/postfix.in. Read the howto for more info.

Bottom line: This paticular setup stopped working for me when I upgraded to 2.1.3 because there were alot of new changes w/ that version of postfix and I had forgot about updating the files in /etc/postfix.in. The best thing to do is to just go over all the steps in the howto since concerning the postfix setup since there are a few other things that need changed in /etc/postfix.in/main.cf after updating that I didn't put in the fix. |

shame on me. i was just so desperate that postfix stoped working again i didn't realize my search returned a HowTo. i didn't read all of the thread and hence asked such a stupid question. i'm really sorry. thank you for your extensive answer.

I am such an idiot. Didn't even think about the fact that perl CPAN modules might be in portage.
The shame...
Works with the portage version on Convert::BinHex
Thanks so much for pointing that out !!! |
Just to let you know. I had the same problem with Convert::BinHex, but I fixed it in CPAN by installing the following perl module:
MIME::Decoder::BinHex after that my mailscanner config went fine.
And I didn't need to fall back on the portage version, even thou thats a perfectly fine thing to do. |

First let me say thanks for all of the HOWTOs on this, it's been a great help. I used the MS ebuild from bugzilla, and it installed fine with all the recs.
Now, I've had my mailserver working perfectly (postfix, procmail, spamassassin, f-prot) but now I want to use MailScanner so I can provide dcc, razor, pyzor and clamav too. I've followed this HOWTO to the letter:
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Using_MailScanner/Postfix/SpamAssassin/ClamAV_in_Gentoo_Linux#Configuring_MailScanner.conf
The only funny things I saw were during install/config:
| Code: | jorge MailScanner # env-update
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
* Caching service dependencies...
* Service 'postfix' already provide 'mta'!;
* Not adding service 'MailScanner-mta'... |
So is this not allowing MailScanner to do the MTA? This is what I assume, but if I remove Postfix and it doesn't work, how will I get back? (I use this mailserver constantly, and if I break it, I'm gonna have to fix it...fast ;0))
If I send myself mail, here's what I get:
| Code: | ==> /var/log/everything/current <==
Dec 11 23:16:50 [imapd] LOGOUT, user=phil, ip=[127.0.0.1], headers=0, body=0, time=0
Dec 11 23:17:11 [postfix/smtpd] connect from unknown[66.45.123.115]
Dec 11 23:17:11 [postfix/smtpd] 5636287EB1: client=unknown[66.45.123.115]
Dec 11 23:17:11 [postfix/cleanup] 5636287EB1: message-id=<7ED8AF6966AB0A46BD0945BA60D1D34C7AD3BD@mywork.com>
Dec 11 23:17:11 [postfix/qmgr] 5636287EB1: from=<me@mywork.com>, size=701, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Dec 11 23:17:11 [postfix/qmgr] 5636287EB1: to=<me@myhome.com>, relay=none, delay=0, status=deferred (deferred transport)
Dec 11 23:17:11 [postfix/smtpd] disconnect from unknown[66.45.123.115]
MailScanner[27553]: [New Batch] Scanning 1 messages, 1003 bytes_
MailScanner[27553]: [Virus and Content Scanning] Starting_
MailScanner[27553]: [Requeue] 5636287EB1 to CCCDB41E690_ |
So it seems to start to work, but I never get my email. So I've worked on this for a bit, and cruised the forums/irc, but am stuck here. Turning postfix back on for now so I can email.
Thanks
P

|

Whooo! I've got everything working, except for Razor2. I tried to fix it last night, and hosed my MS setup, but now I've got it back. How can I fix Razor2? I'm almost there! 
| Code: | spamd[3936]: [info] setuid to user2 succeeded_
spamd[3936]: [processing message <33296.192.168.0.7.1102867591.squirrel@cryer.us> for user2] 1002._

spamd[3936]: [clean message (1.0/5.0) for user2] 1002 in 1.8 seconds, 1281 bytes._ |
I have the latest versions of Net-dns and Spamassassin:
| Code: | jorge root # emerge dev-perl/Net-DNS spamassassin -pvt
These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] mail-filter/spamassassin-2.64 +berkdb +ssl 0 kB
[ebuild R ] dev-perl/Net-DNS-0.48 0 kB
Total size of downloads: 0 kB |
Wow, MS is very, very cool. Think this should go in portage soon.
P
SOLVED: apparently I jumped the gun, after a run of the cron update Razor2 works. The spams I used to get showed up as 7 or 8, but with the new setup on came in at 24! Yeah, I think the rules de jour, dcc and razor2 are doing their job!

There is a new ebuild in bugzilla https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36060.
Have not tried to build yet.
