the configure script can be edited and the hardcoded 127.0.0.1 changed to the primary ip of the guest if it is really doing that. the only one i know of so far that hard codes that in configure is nagios. > > I guess my question is; Has anyone else been able to get > qmail-queue-scanner installed and working properly with spamassassin > on a vserver? we have qmail with qmail-scanner, spamassassin (spamd/spamc), clamd, spf plugin, and grey listing plugin running in a verver since Nov of 05 with no problem at all. it just works. however we have a more simple system than most in that it is restricted to contact only our primary smtp server and it is only an smtp server with absolutely no relay priv. at all, there are no mailboxes on that ... it runs as our secondary mx only. i dont trust the auto intsalls of qmail scanner so i always go over the .pl file manually and correct things here and there to match how we like things to be. i also do not update that vserver very much at all except for severe security issues if i ever hear of them .. if it works dont fix it is what i do with that one :) > I installed this same thing on a non-vserver system about 2 years ago > and I didn't have this problem. > i cannot vouch for the accuracy of this statement, but i have heard that the options/install/configure process has changed since '05 which may be the problem now. > So far, to troubleshoot, I have added the 'Remap Source IP Address' > kernel option and rebooted.
