Thanks Derek. Your reply gave the clues that I needed to make further
progress on this problem. I now have sendmail listening on *.smtp. I had
to also add the lines:

mta_enable="YES"
mta_flags="-bd"

to my rc.conf file so that the /usr/loca/etc/rc.d/mta script would run
and have the right flags for sendmail. Without the -bd flag sendmail
would print out a message about needing recipients and then just hang
there at startup.

I still don't understand what may have changed between 6.x and 7.x. (I
have none of the mta_* variables specified in my 6.4 system's rc.conf.)

Thanks again,
Bob

I asked this question in freebsd-ports (in a different way as I thought
maybe I could clarify the situation some by rewording it) the other day
and didn't receive any reply so I thought I try here this time.

I have a 7.2-prelease system that I am trying to get sendmail and
MailScanner running on and for some reason sendmail isn't listening on
*.smtp, though it is listening on localhost.smtp.

If I remove MailScanner from the mix and run sendmail in the
conventional way (with sendmail_enable="YES" specified in /etc/rc.conf)
then things work as expected (except no MailScanner, of course).

I currently have a running 6.4-stable system that this new 7.2 system
is scheduled to replace that is using the same MailScanner and sendmail
configuration files and it is working ok (and has been for a long time).

I suspect that I'm simply missing some configuration option here that
I've overlooked or that may have changed between 6.4 and 7.2, but don't
really know where to look.

Any help or tips on things to do/check would be greatly appreciated.

Bob,


I have sendmail with mailscanner running on 7.1 release with no 
problems.  Do you have:

mta_type="sendmail"
mailscanner_enable="YES"
in your /etc/rc.conf?

I also have:
spamd_enable="YES"
in my /etc/rc.conf

Thanks for this - looks like the Australian ports mirror is either broken or

That port:   p5-IO-Compress-Base-2.004 is available in the ports system.
When was the last time you updated your ports tree?

I would recommend you update your ports tree and try again. I don't have
much experience with portmaster. You could use portmanager instead.
Using it with the '-p' flag would insure that all dependencies were up

Re: MailScanner Ports problems

[Martin Hepworth]

There was talk about this on the Mailscanner list a while ago.

I use the tar.gz to install MailScanner direct (on 4.11), but then I do alot
of beta testing and JPK can lag behind in getting releases out.

Ask on the main MailScanner list as JPK hangs about there sometime,,

Re: MailScanner

[Derek Ragona]

Depends on what MTA you are using.  On my servers I use sendmail as the 
MTA.  In /etc/rc.conf I have these variables set:

mta_type="sendmail"
mailscanner_enable="YES"

I only need MailScanner started at boot from the script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
in addition to starting Sendmail.  If you are using a different mta, you 
may need some variables set in the mta startup script also in

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/

You can set the action to any of the following:

delete is probably best at least for the high scoring spam.

Please DONT BOUNCE.

There is never any usefull return address in SPAM, so bouncing will
not get back to any spammer, but it will rather annoy some innocent
person.

It is totally useless to bounce for virus or spam, quarantine it or
discard it silently, but never ever bounce.

I'm getting a sendmail.pid file, but nothing more
  


Does that not indicate that some "old" sendmail is still running?
Can you stop those?
If unsure, maybe reboot without sendmails, and then check with ps.

Oops... I'm not familiar with MailScanner. I just assumed, based on your
log, that sendmail is the epicentre of your problem. I reckon someone
else would be able to help you.

But the config settings I've seen all say that when using MailScanner, you must 
set the sendmail_enable to None.
   
  Even with this set to YES, then I still dont have the sendmail_out.pid and 
sendmail_in.pid files running.

Well, this makes sense. Your sendmail is disabled:

sendmail_enable="NONE"

This is what you need:

sendmail_enable="YES"


Try that and see how it goes.

You can tune a couple of settings in MailScanner.conf which will help a lot:

As each mailscanner process uses about 20Mb of memory you probably want to
reduce the number of mailscanner children to 2 or 3.
for example: "Max Children = 3"
Dont recommend using only one because if that one chokes then the system
can stop processing mail altogether. Two or three children decreases that
risc.

Also if using spamassassin you can set spamassassins timeout high.
I have not heard of any drawbacks with this and it saves you lots of
worries, and especially so in a system with small resources.
for example: "SpamAssassin Timeout = 600"

Re: Mailscanner PC requirements

[Martin Hepworth]

Hi
might need more RAM, esp is you plan to use Spamassassin with the MS
setup. My old system (cel 500 512MB RAM) would top out around 14,000
messages per day of around 25kb average size. But I was also running
MailWatch and the associaed mysql DB on the box as well and lots of
extra SA rules..

As for performance related stuff vmstat/iostat/sar are good places to
start. Also you don't mention the MTA to be used. This can make a huge
difference. Sendmail and Postfix tend to slower with exim and qmail
faster in that order.

You'll get extra performance by turning on softupdates on the spool
directory filesystems too.

See you on the MailScanner users email list (under my work email).

Installing X on a server is overkill, unless you plan on staring at the
monitor all day. OTOH, FreeBSD also makes for a nice desktop system.

Better activate sshd (Secure Shell daemon) and log into the machine from
your desktop, e.g. with 'putty'. That way you can run commands like
'systat -vmstat' remotely. You can also view the logfiles by logging in
remotely.

If you are logged in you can also modify syslog.conf to have the system
write you a message whenever certain types of error occur. You could
even have the system e-mail you the error messages (unless the e-mail
isn't working :-)

Oh the Ironies of life,  I actually redid my install because someone on the

If you're running KDE the KDE System Guard (system section of the K
Menu) is similar to the Windows Task Manager. Gnome has something
similar I have used but I forget the name.

The console command 'ps' will show you running processes. Check this web
link for info http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?ps

Or do "man ps" or "info ps"

Hi all,

First OFF NEWBIE here - so  please bear with me--

I have installed  FreeBSD 5.4 on a box that I plan to use Mailscanner to
"filter" the mail prior to hitting my Mail server.

Its on a PII 450 with 256mb ram  and a 12 gig drive.

I would like to know

1) How can I check to make sure the system is running OK ( I'm from the
windows world) where we have event logs  and performance monitor to make
sure
the install was done correctly, give you page fault data mem ,cpu usage
etc...

Any tools  or commands in FreeBSD that can give me this type of info?

2) given the above specs, is that ok to handle mail for roughly 40
users?

Thanks in advance

Hard to say without more details on what the volume is for those 40 users,
but I expect it should be OK ... unless your usage patterns are very

Should still be going to maillog, possibly along with your MTA. have you
