So if everything is working, you >should receive two e-mails, but have records of four events in syslog. I thought that I was supposed to recieve 3 e-mails. This is given an installed clamav but no spamassassin, and also given that I had left the --notify installation option at "psender,nmlvadm". I expected to recieve: 1) a non-blocked "plain" message sent by test_installation.sh 2) a spam sent by test_installation.sh and 3) an alert sent to the sender (also me) by qmail-scanner-queue.pl warning of the policy-blocked "eicar.com" message. However, I did not get message (3). My first thought was that perhaps the "eicar.com" message was considered a virus-block rather than a policy-block. So I modified test_installation.sh to add another policy-block (a double-barrel filename) and to hard-code $RECIP and QS_SENDER (see below). The result was still only 2 e-mails, the plain and spam messages sent by test_installation.sh. So I reinstalled Qmail-Scanner with the --notify option set to "sender,recips,admin". (This was to be a test and not the way I wanted qmail-scanner to finally be installed.) I then ran test_installation.sh I expected to recieve 11 e-mails: 2 sent by test_installation.sh that were not blocked (one plain, one spam), 3 alerts sent to the sender (me) by qmail-scanner-queue.pl warning of three blocked e-mails (one "eicar.com" message, one eicar test string, and one double-barrel filename), 3 simialr alerts sent to the recipient (me), and 3 similar alerts sent to the virus administrator (me). However, I received 5 messages: the 2 sent by test_installation.sh that were not blocked, and 3 sent to the recipient. I did not recieve the 3 that I expected to be sent to the sender or the 3 to the virus administrator. >>I noticed that $RECIP in the was script was set to something strange >>(mydomain.xyz rather than [EMAIL PROTECTED]). >> >?

Why did you think it would be a good idea to >delete that? The test script looks for that file just as a sanity check >for a "good" install of Qmail. Yikes, I wrote that wrong in my original message. It was not $RECIP that was set to mydomain.xyz rather than [EMAIL PROTECTED] It was $QS_SENDER. This was why I tried deleting defaultdomain--I wanted to check if test_installation.sh defaultdomain was really the source of $QS_SENDER. I have restored my defaultdomain file but still need to hard-code $QS_SENDER to have it sent from me. Otherwise, the messages sent by test_installation.sh were just from mydomain.xyz. Qmail's defaulthost was not picked up, and there was no username or at sign. Both $V_FROM and $RECIP were correct. Sorry for the confusion. Can I blame it on sending my original message in the middle of the night? :-) I hope I did a bit better this time. -- John Mandeville jemandy at earthlink dot net ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
