HOW TO : MailScanner

Hi..

Apologies for reviving an ol thread.. (Newbies tend to do that)
Could you tell me how to uninstall Mailscanner? I used Wael's method for installing it.
I have tried "rpm -e mailscanner" but I get:

[root@mds1 MailScanner-install-4.55.10]# rpm -e mailscanner
error: package mailscanner is not installed

Many thanks
Mo
 
Never mind guys.. got the solution..
removed the directories that were created
reinstalled exim (downloaded new exim.com and exim.pl)
restarted exim.
All working now..
 
step 7 :

37 5 * * * /opt/MailScanner/bin/update_phishing_sites
07 * * * * /opt/MailScanner/bin/update_bad_phishing_sites
58 23 * * * /opt/MailScanner/bin/clean.quarantine
42 * * * * /opt/MailScanner/bin/update_virus_scanners
3,23,43 * * * * /opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner


add it into crontab ? i think only here!

4/1/2008 New in Version 4.66.5-3
================================
* New Features and Improvements *
1 New optional configuration setting "Syslog Socket Type". By default this is
left blank, as it will work it out according to the operating system you
are using. Some Solaris users may want to set this to "native".
1 Addition of new message property for use by MailWatch 2.
1 Update of Sophos.install for Sophos version 6.
2 Updated to handle new MailTools 2.02. This includes the use of several new
Perl modules, so you'll have to use the install.sh to install all the
requirements of the new MailTools code (unless you are doing clever things
with yum repositories).
3 Improvement to the phishing net for multiple "blocked::" prefixes on links.
3 Improvements to speed up StartTiming() and StopTiming() greatly.
3 Updated to MIME-tools 5.425. This should solve lots of problems people are
having with using yum repositories.
4 Added startup code to check for consistent version numbers with MIME-tools.
4-2 Better install.sh for RHEL and CentOS 5.
4-3 Added some more modules to the compulsory list for RHEL and CentOS 5.
These are all labelled "yes" in the right-most column of the module list
near the bottom of install.sh.
5 Improved eTrust-wrapper and -autoupdate to handle latest version 8.1 of
eTrust, and allow more flexibility in setting of eTrust location in
virus.scanners.conf. Can now just put /opt/CA if you are running 8.1 or later.
5 Improved easy-to-install ClamAV & SpamAssassin package so that it will always
install my patched Mail::ClamAV and Mail::SpamAssassin modules even if un-
patched versions are already installed.
5-3 Changed Perl IO module to always force installation.
 
Hello,

After the installation of Mailscanner, DirectAdmin shows the following:
Unable to setup spamassassin

Details

Spamd is not running on your system.

When I follow this: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=36
then SpamAssassin works fine, but MailScanner not.

How can I configure spamassassin on DirectAdmin with MailScanner enabled?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

DhoTjai
 
just for clarification

So a setup mailscanner with spamassasin and calmav, and is look like work, but if i understood for the log file mailscanner+spamassasin scan all email come inside my server ( i test it with "eicar" for the antivirus and another test file for spamassassin) but spamassasin d'not work from the pannel of my client! So is not a big dial but i just like to know if this is normal or not!?

Thanks

This question is to everyone/anyone using Mailscanner:

Why?

What do you use that requires it.

Thanks.
