[Qmail-scanner-general]tempfail: cannot write to ...No such file or directory

[Michael Lasevich]

I am getting errors while running Qmail-Scanner. from what I see - it seems to get confused where it keeps it's temp files and whether they are files or directories(see the log at the end). Anyone has any ideas?   Ok,here is my setup: I am running RH7.2 x86. I am running qmail patched with the QMAILQUEUE patch and SpamAssassin 1.20.   I have tested SpamAssassin, it works from the command line. Without the Qmail-Scanner, qmail hums along. (it's a relay server)   I've installed Qmail-Scanner 1.11 by the directions on the site. Added all the required pieces (did not install Maildrop, only the reformime binary). What I could, I recompiled myself.   I generated  the qmail-scanner-queue.pl with the configure line(from within the file): --------------------- ./configure --spooldir /var/spool/qmailscan --qmaildir /var/qmail --bindir /var/qmail/bin --qmail-queue-binary /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue  --admin postmaster --domain private.com --notify sender,recips,admin --local-domains private.com,private2.com --lang en_GB --debug 1 --unzip 1 --add-dscr-hdrs 0 --archive 0 --redundant 0 --log-details  --fix-mime 1  --scanners "auto" ---------------------   it had permissions of --------------------- -rws--x--x    1 qmailq   qmail       52999 May  1 18:53 qmail-scanner-queue.pl ---------------------     I created a directory for the spooler /var/spooler/qmailscan/. Here are the permissions/contents (qmailq is UID 501) ( I made permissions on the dir 777 for testing's sake): --------------------- [root@mailman qmailscan]# pwd                 /var/spool/qmailscan [root@mailman qmailscan]# ls -la total 36 drwxrwxrwx    2 qmailq   qmail        4096 May  2 13:51 . drwxr-xr-x   14 root     root         4096 May  1 18:52 .. -rw-------    1 qmailq   nofiles      6410 May  2 13:36 qmail-queue.log -rw-------    1 qmailq   nofiles        20 May  2 13:29 qmail-scanner-queue-version.txt -rw-r-----    1 qmailq   nofiles     12288 May  1 19:16 quarantine-attachments.db -rw-r--r--    1 qmailq   qmail        3482 May  1 18:52 quarantine-attachments.txt -------------------------------------------       here is the log with the error   --------------------------------------------qmail-queue.log ----------------------- 02/05/2002 13:36:32:4185: +++ starting debugging for process 4185 by uid=501 at 02/05/2002 13:36:32 02/05/2002 13:36:32:4185: setting UID to EUID so subprocesses can access files generated by this script 02/05/2002 13:36:32:4185: program name is qmail-scanner-queue.pl 02/05/2002 13:36:32:4185: incoming SMTP connection from via smtp from 66.28.68.87 02/05/2002 13:36:32:4185: w_c: mkdir /var/spool/qmailscan/mailman.private.com10203717924084185 02/05/2002 13:36:32:4185: w_c: start dumping incoming msg into /var/spool/qmailscan/working/tmp/mailman.private.com10203717924084185 [1020371792.17098] 02/05/2002 13:36:32:4185: tempfail: X-Qmail-Scanner-1.11: cannot write to /var/spool/qmailscan/working/tmp/mailman.private.com10203717924084185 - No such file or directory ------------------------------------------------------------------------------   -Michael Lasevich
