Hello all,
Recently I noticed that when my server reboots the following appears in my log:
Nov 10 06:50:05 vir mimedefang-multiplexor[543]: WARNING: Something in your Perl filter appears to h
ave opened a file descriptor outside of any function. With embedded Perl, you should move any code
that opens a file descriptor into filter_initialize. DON'T BLAME MIMEDEFANG IF YOUR FILTER FAILS IN
MYSTERIOUS AND UNPREDICTABLE WAYS.
Later, after the first message I get:
Nov 10 08:51:47 vir mimedefang-multiplexor[543]: Slave 0 stderr: Warning: unable to close filehandle
LOGF properly.
When this occurs RBL checks in spamassassin no longer seem to occur.
If I restart mimedefang I do not see these errors. I understand the warning is in place because global file descriptors are not supported and will automatically be closed. However, as you can see from the attached file my filter is pretty standard and does not do anything wacky with files.
The system is running FreeBSD 5.3 RC2 with the following relevant ports:
mimedefang-2.48 p5-Convert-BinHex-1.119 p5-Digest-HMAC-1.01 p5-Digest-SHA1-2.10 p5-HTML-Parser-3.36 p5-HTML-Tagset-3.03 p5-IO-stringy-2.108 p5-MIME-Base64-3.05 p5-MIME-Tools-5.415,2 p5-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.1_1 p5-Mail-Tools-1.64 p5-Net-DNS-0.48 p5-URI-1.34 perl-5.8.5 razor-agents-2.61_3 clamav-0.80
The MIMEDefang spool directory is mounted off a swap-backed memory device:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/md10 186M 8.0K 171M 0% /var/spool/MIMEDefang
Any ideas what is going on? Am I doing something wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
