I've setup mimedefang to make a spam filtering gateway on FreeBSD 4.7, sendmail version 8.13.6.20060614 compiled with:DNSMAP LOG MAP_REGEX MATCHGECOS MILTER MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND NETINET NETINET6 NETUNIX NEWDB NIS PIPELINING SASLv2 SCANF STARTTLS TCPWRAPPERS USERDB XDEBUG
the install runs without any trouble and the mimedefang and mimedefang-multiplexor processes start up with no issues. the milter is called in the .mc file as per the manual INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang', `S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, F=T, T=S:60s;R:60s;E:5m')dnl (note F=T, this thing should be stopping all deliveries if the milter doesn't work, however its quite happy to deliver away) /var/log/maillog tells me as the multiplexor and slaves start up: Jun 26 04:02:46 emeks sm-mta[75279]: starting daemon (8.13.6.20060614): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:30:00 Jun 26 04:02:46 emeks sm-msp-queue[75283]: starting daemon (8.13.6.20060614): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:30:00 Jun 26 04:05:26 emeks mimedefang-multiplexor[73292]: Received SIGTERM: Stopping slaves and terminating Jun 26 04:05:26 emeks mimedefang-multiplexor[73292]: Slave 1 resource usage: req=0, scans=0, user=0.950, sys=0.253, nswap=0, majflt=2, minflt=8316, maxrss=25780, bi=0, bo=0 Jun 26 04:05:26 emeks mimedefang-multiplexor[73292]: Slave 0 resource usage: req=0, scans=0, user=0.958, sys=0.241, nswap=0, majflt=9, minflt=8319, maxrss=25836, bi=725, bo=0 Jun 26 04:05:30 emeks mimedefang[73307]: MIMEDefang-2.57: mi_stop=1 Jun 26 04:06:02 emeks mimedefang-multiplexor[75917]: started; minSlaves=2, maxSlaves=10, maxRequests=500, maxIdleTime=300, busyTimeout=600, clientTimeout=10 Jun 26 04:06:02 emeks mimedefang-multiplexor[75917]: Starting slave 0 (pid 75923) (1 running): Bringing slaves up to minSlaves (2) Jun 26 04:06:02 emeks mimedefang[75932]: MIMEDefang alive. slavesReservedForLoopback=-1 AllowNewConnectionsToQueue=0 doRelayCheck=0 doHeloCheck=0 doSenderCheck=0 doRecipientCheck=0 Jun 26 04:06:02 emeks mimedefang[75932]: Multiplexor alive - entering main loop Jun 26 04:06:05 emeks mimedefang-multiplexor[75917]: Starting slave 1 (pid 75939) (2 running): Bringing slaves up to minSlaves (2) Jun 26 04:06:11 emeks sm-mta[75953]: starting daemon (8.13.6.20060614): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:30:00 however nothing actually happens. No filtering of any sort - i've added a dummy action_add_header call in filter_end() applied to all e-mails going through, but it never actually adds any headers. running md-mx-ctrl msgs tells me that no messages have passed through the filter, even though i've sent multiple e-mails through. basically there are no error messages at all. My question then is, where should i start my troubleshooting? where do i start hunting for problems? any assistance would be appreciated.
