Report: MailScanner: Message attempted to kill MailScanner

[topdog]

You have downloaded HTML files instead of actual spamassassin rules files.

OK everything is looking really good. Just the two last issues.

the aforementioned parse error and a clamav issue.

Ubuntu comes with amavis-new..should i leave that installed ? Will it conflict with permissions?

Right now in mail.log i see

MailScanner[6459]: Cannot find Socket (/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl) Exiting!

Thanks so much for your support!

Did you try to reinstall clamav? After you've reinstalled it, run freshclam to update the defs. It may take a few mins. After that, I would restart mailscanner and check the logs.

[macross]

ok looking good. was i correct to uninstall amavis-new? It was running clam amavis user and causing issues during initial install.

[Rocky]

Yes, this setup does not use amavis, no clue why it was installed. So is everything sorted out now?

[macross]

Everything appears to be running smoothly and no more false positives or errors. I would like to get the rest of those cf files it seems that site www.rulesemporium.com is down.

fuzzy-mysql cleaner kills my cpu when it's run not to sure why, i was going to trace that.

I need to do some more poking around to ensure a clean setup and start a decent backup regimen. Plus ensure I can handle any outages or daemon failures.

Thanks again.

[Rocky]

There is a cron job for Baruwa that updates spamassassin so you don't have to. Look at the guide, I'm sure it's there. You can run it like:
manage.py updatesarule

If you mail log looks clean, then I won't thing everything's running as it should.

Make sure you change the database connection settings of /usr/sbin/fuzzy-cleanmysql to whatever you used for your FuzzyOcr database.
