Upgrading MailScanner to 4.58.9
crankycronos posted this on Feb 19th 2007 at 7:34 pm under Ensim Fixes
The newest version of MailScanner has lots of nice features to help reduce spam.
wget http://www.nightowlsnetwork.net/download/fix_MailScanner chmod +x fix_MailScanner ./fix_MailScanner wget http://www.mailscanner.info/files/4/rpm/MailScanner-4.58.9-1.rpm.tar.gz tar -zxvf MailScanner-4.58.9-1.rpm.tar.gz cd MailScanner-4.58.9-1 ./install.sh service MailScanner stop service MailScanner start
If there should be any errors, then you need to fix them or install the required dependant perl modules from cpan, or ask here. If you are error free, then we can continue.
cd /etc/MailScanner upgrade_MailScanner_conf MailScanner.conf MailScanner.conf.rpmnew > MailScanner.new mv -f MailScanner.conf MailScanner.conf.ensim mv -f MailScanner.new MailScanner.conf
Don’t forget to do the usual rpm syncing procedure that Ensim requires after any rpms updates.

Hi there!
I can’t get to the fix_MailScanner file on two networks. Is there by chance a typo in that URL?
Thanks!
crankycronos on 20 Feb 2007 at 3:58 pm #
Yea, I stuck it in the wrong spot. Should be working now. Sorry about that.
boing on 20 Feb 2007 at 4:49 pm #
Just wanted to say THANKS!
In combination w/ a ClamAV upgrade, I’m good to go! This worked great on a RHEL4 Ensim 10.2.x box!

Whats the rpm syncing procedure that needs to be done after?

Followed these directions, but Ensim still reports the old version info. `rpm –query mailscanner` lists two versions:
mailscanner-4.31.6-1
mailscanner-4.58.9-1
Is it safe just to uninstall mailscanner-4.31.6-1?
crankycronos on 03 Mar 2007 at 7:44 pm #
I only show: mailscanner-4.58.9-1 on mine…so something didn’t upgrade like it should have. You should be able to remove the 4.31.6-1 after your sure everything is working right.
Paulo on 04 Mar 2007 at 4:03 pm #
Greetings,
Mine also failed.
Rpm query shows both versions. On ensim control panel shows the old version running on services.
Any ideia?
crankycronos on 04 Mar 2007 at 4:57 pm #
Remove the old one, and don’t forget to do the rpm sync routine afterwards. Mine shows the 4.58.9-1 all the way around.
Paulo on 04 Mar 2007 at 5:48 pm #
Thanks , everything looks fine now.
Jorge on 20 Mar 2007 at 12:39 pm #
Hi,
Upgraded successfully a couple of servers (rpm –query mailscanner shows it) ; the first one works fine but the second one just doesnt scan incoming mail.
Running ps -e | egrep MailScanner shows :
24685 ? 00:00:00 MailScanner
26375 ? 00:00:00 MailScanner
26396 ? 00:00:00 MailScanner
26416 ? 00:00:00 MailScanner
26427 ? 00:00:00 MailScanner
26460 ? 00:00:00 MailScanner
while in the other server it shows:
21558 ? 00:00:00 MailScanner
24902 ? 00:00:41 MailScanner
25241 ? 00:00:41 MailScanner
26271 ? 00:00:39 MailScanner
26334 ? 00:00:38 MailScanner
4591 ? 00:00:36 MailScanner
Setups are identical.
Any idea ?
TIA
crankycronos on 20 Mar 2007 at 9:48 pm #
Look in your mail log. Be willing to bet your missing some of the perl packages it requires.
Jorge on 21 Mar 2007 at 2:46 pm #
Thanks crankycronos but couldnt find any ‘perl’, ‘required’ nor ‘module’ doing cat in maillog.
BTW, forgot to mention spamassassin works fine.
Where can I find a list of required perl modules ?
Thanks again,
Jorge

Any idea anyone?
TIA
crankycronos on 21 Mar 2007 at 4:12 pm #
As per MailScanner.conf
# Spammers do not have the power to send out huge messages to everyone as
# it costs them too much (more smaller messages makes more profit than less
# very large messages). So if a message is bigger than a certain size, it
# is highly unlikely to be spam. Limiting this saves a lot of time checking
# huge messages.
# Disable this option by setting it to a huge value.
# This is measured in bytes.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Max Spam Check Size = 150000
Take it up or down as you see fit.

Is this How-to safe when upgrading from Spam Assasin 3.0.5?
TIA.
crankycronos on 27 Mar 2007 at 8:48 pm #
I have had no issues but then again, this how to is for MailScanner. Ensim has certified the latest of spamassassin released by RHEL and CentOS. Don’t thing FC has caught that far up yet.
Omair on 30 Mar 2007 at 8:20 am #
I think you are running on RedHat Linux, Mandriva Linux or SuSE Linux.
You must have the following RPM packages installed before
you try and do anything else:
binutils glibc-devel gcc make
You are missing at least 1 of these.
Please install them all
##############################
Kindly guide me which one of these modules should I install, and a possible guide to install it?
TIA.
crankycronos on 30 Mar 2007 at 8:30 am #
rpm -q binutils glibc-devel gcc automake
If any of those are missing, then either up2date or yum the missing rpm depending on the system you are using.
Omair on 30 Mar 2007 at 9:11 am #
Mate, Thanks for the quick reply and bearing with me.

Nothing as of yet is making sense to me. I am just typing in these commands. Can you kindly tell me in laymen terms what is actually the problem and how to go about fixing it?
I have been receiving about 400+ spams daily, spam assasin as I learned from the email headers, has auto-learn set to off. Most of these spam emails are typically those idiotic pharmacy and make money over night emails.
Your help is highly appreciated.

Does anyone know how to upgrade ClamAV from RPMs and not have ensim (pro x) complain? (or remove clamav-0.88.7) I am trying to install the latest version (0.90.2), but I have conflicts with clamav-0.88.7.

In an attempt to prevent even more spam, I followed the instructions here to upgrade mailscanner. It all appeared to work fine, except I now get a an email highlighting a problem with MailQueueCleaner every hour which I can’t seem to fix:

I have Ensim 10.3 on a CentOs box
Any help would be appreciated
crankycronos on 01 Aug 2008 at 4:27 am #
In an attempt to update things, it looks like you might have gone overboard. That’s sendmail whining about glibc. Find out what your current version on the box is, and try rolling it back one.
The directions as outlined are over a year old and back then, things worked fine but I have no idea how they play with current packages.
