We have an smtp gateway which has been working perfectly for more than a year now. It has no pop3 and uses qmail-scanner-queue.pl along with csav a/v scanner and spamassassin. This working machine is running redhat 7.2.
I am currently setting up a replacement for this using redhat 9. This is an exact mirror image of the working system, pulling all patched sources from it, recompiling under rh9, using errno patches where needed. The qmail system works perfectly. Once I installed the scanner, messages stop at the scanner and appear to not be passed on. The rh9 version of perl (5.8.0) denies suid, so I compiled a new version of perl (5.8.2), placing it in /usr/local instead of over top the existing one, and pointed the scanner perl script to it in stead. suid works properly. When I change the program called in my tcp.smtp to qmail-queue it passes messages to my pop3 server just fine. however when I set it to qmail-scanner-queue.pl, and also if I change to use the wrapper (just as a test), I get a puzzling entry in the qmail-queue.log file - it goes through the internal tests for unwanted extensions, then exits with this: 05/01/2004 21:13:34:12623: d_m: unpacking message took 0.013942 seconds 05/01/2004 21:13:34:12623: unsetting QMAILQUEUE env var 05/01/2004 21:13:34:12623: g_e_h: no sender and no recips. 05/01/2004 21:13:34:12623: cleanup: /bin/rm -rf /var/spool/qmailscan/mailproc.sbbsnet.net107335521442612623/ /var/spool/qmailscan/working/new/mailproc.sbbsnet.net107335521442612623 it is at this point the message just vanishes. it never gets to qmail-remote, or at least there is no delivery entry in the log file. In searching for g_e_h in the perl script, I find a comment entry about qmail-smtpd dropping the message, but no changes have been done to the smtpd calls at all. they remain the same, with only changing tcp.smtpd to call either the perl script, wrapper, or original qmail-queue. Any suggestions/hints? Outside of incoming smtp and the qmail-queue log, there is no mention of the message or even failed components in *any* other logs. I'm baffled. -- Chuck "...and the hordes of M$*ft users descended upon me in their anger, and asked 'Why do you not get the viruses or the BlueScreensOfDeath or insecure system troubles and slowness or pay through the nose for an OS as *we* do?!!', and I answered...'I use Linux'.
