Hi, all,
running MD 2.71 (but the same problems shows up in 2.73)
I have a mimedefang-filter which has run fine for more than a year now
on an old Solaris 10 system. I have installed MD and the same
mimedefang-filter on a new system (both Solaris, old one sun4u
architecture, the new one sun4v architecture). On both systems Postfix
is talking to MD, with milter version = 6. The problem I see is, that
the mimedefang-filter does not convert the message on the new system,
while it does at the old system. All I see in the log file (when I
enable debugging) is:
[snip]
MDLOG,91D573CA46,mail_in,,,<[email protected]>,<[email protected]>,New
Message
[snip]
The logs show than mimedefang is running and that a message has been
processed.
Now, even if I add a simple log statement as begin of the filter_begin
routine, like:
my $filename = '/tmp/report.txt';
open(my $fh, '>>', $filename) or die "Could not open file '$filename' $!";
print $fh "This is a test of mimedefang\n";
close $fh;
and I send a message, the output file of these four lines is not
written. So for some reason, it seems that mimedefang is not executing
the mimedefang-filter script at all.
I checked file ownerships, permissions, umask etc. and compared with the
old system and everything seems to be OK, except for the result of the
mimdefang pass.
Any suggestions much appreciated!
Mimedefang won't run without a filter and it doesn't seem to be using
the file you think it's using. So it probably uses another
filter file.
1) Examen mimedefang.pl to see the default filter file (build time
option): grep 'Filter =' `which mimedefang.pl`
2) Examen your startup scripts (and config) to see if a filter
is specified at run time.
You made my day! mimedefang.pl referred to /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter
and on the old system there was a symlink to our filter
(/opt/mimedefang/bin/mimedefang-filter) but on the new system this
symlink was not present. A big Thank You!
This makes me wonder: when compiling mimedefang with:
./configure --prefix=/opt/mimedefang and --exec-prefix=/opt/mimedefang
et cetera
should mimedefang.pl not search for a default filter under
/opt/mimedefang/bin instead of /etc/mail?
