Unable to start clamsmtpd
I just installed clamsmtpd on a fresh FreeBSD-7.2 installation. When I attempt to start the program via the start up script supplied by the port maintainer, I receive this error message: Clamsmtpd: invalid Outaddress socket name or ip: start I receive the exact same message when I terminate the program, except start is replaced by stop. In the config file, this is listed: OutAddress: 10026 That is the default setting. I made sure that clamav was running. I cannot figure out what the problem is. Anyone have any suggestions? -- Carmel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Hope I can help You. First, please check that the directory, where clamsmtpd creates socket, is writable by clamsmtpd user. For example, I have yhe following lines in my config file: [...] # The address clamd is listening on ClamAddress: /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock [...] # User to switch to User: clamav ...and... # ls -ld /var/run/clamav/ drwxr-xr-x 2 clamav clamav 512 Nov 27 2008 /var/run/clamav/ # ls -l /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock srwxrwxrwx 1 clamav clamav 0 Nov 27 2008 /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I changed the clamd to clamd.sock but it did not make a difference. The clamd.pin, clamd.sock= and freshclam.pid files are in the /var/run/clamav directory. This is becoming really annoying. Aparently, clamdsmtp will not create its own clamsmtpd.pid file. -- Jerry ges...@yahoo.com We are not loved by our friends for what we are; rather, we are loved in spite of what we are. -- Victor Hugo signature.asc Description: PGP signature

OK, when I reboot, clamsmtpd will install it's 'PID' file in the /var/run/clamav directory. There are no errors shown. Postfix then immediately starts. Now, when I receive a message, the maillog has an error message: clamsmtpd: 17: CLAMAV: couldn't connect to : /var/run/clamav/clamd: No such file or directory. Now, the file and directory do exist. If I stop or restart clamsmtpd, that error message about clamsmtpd: invalid OutAddress socket or ip: reappears. -- Jerry ges...@yahoo.com How come only your friends step on your new white sneakers? signature.asc Description: PGP signature
