Which distribution are you using?
Which tutorial are you following?

Hey,

I beleive that is a bug in pyzor. Please try to redo it and let me know if it worked. I just did a setup 5 days ago and didn't have any problems.

I checked the server file that the discovery process records the IP of the Pyzor server. It states that the website cannot be contacted. I browsed to the website http://pyzor.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin...-servers-0-3-x in Firefox and was able to get to the parent site but got an error on the complete URL. That may be the issue. I'll wait to see if they fix it. I know it worked a few days ago. I was ablt to successfully do a Pyzor Ping a few days ago.

Hey,

It is very common for pyzor to timeout. Try editing the servers file and changing the IP to 82.94.255.100:24441.

I tried that and it did the same exact thing when I tried a Pyzor ping command. I scanned that IP to see if port 24441 is opened and it appears to be closed. Can you browse to "http://pyzor.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin...-servers-0-3-x" with firefox? You will see an error page. That is what is being put in the /var/lib/MailScanner/servers file with html tags. I also browsed to http://82.94.255.100 and a webpage "http://eva.i-block.com/" loaded. It's a German site and they do not have an english site. Port 24441 must be the service port pyzor uses. I'll bet that company stopped providing the service for free to Pyzor. Well anyhow I cannot continue with the "HowTo" until the pyzor issue is resolved. 3 days now. I'm almost ready to give up on this. How can this be reliable if it takes this long for developers to resolve issues with thier applications? (If thats the issue, it sure seems like it)

Hey,

You're having a weird problem. I just did a pyzor ping and this is the response I'm getting:
82.94.255.100:24441 (200, 'OK')

I would redo section 7.2, making sure the you open the appropriate ports according to the guide.

"pyzor discover" basicly does a wget of http://pyzor.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/inform-servers-0-3-x. That page has an CGI error, so you get a ~/.pyzor/servers file of a CGI error.

Empty out the file and just put in "82.94.255.100:24441". It will work. I just installed pyzor on a machine this morning.

I scanned that IP to see if port 24441 is opened and it appears to be closed
It's not a TCP port, it's UDP. It's open.

Pyzor is working just fine.
