ConfigServer Community Forum

Saw this in my logs today and was wondering if anyone here has seen the same thing. Error in configuration file line 3057, directory /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Locks for lockfiledir does not exist (or is not readable) : 1 Time(s)

Anyone know what permissions should be used to make this file readable? Any reason why the permissions would be changed from the original install which I haven't...

After the server got rebooted this morning mail stopped being delivered almost completely. There are over 2000 messages now in the Pending Queue. Any ideas on what to do to kickstart this again? Mailscanner is running according to WHM.

After noticing an increasing in spam reaching the cPanel server, a preliminary investigation has uncovered the fact that most messages that get through MailScanner are not getting scanned. Can anyone offer a suggestion why they might not get scanned? Please see the full header of a typical message that gets through below.

I realize this forum isn't an official avenue of support, but I thought I'd start here, first, and see if anyone else is having this problem.

Hi there,

The situation is now under control and we have done a major security overhaul/check of our mail servers. One measurement we did was to configure the Mailscanner to scan...

Do I need to create this mail account? Can we do this on a per e-mail account basis (it doesn't appear to be possible)?

Good Day all

I have noticed a increase in spam and have tracked part of it down to the SpamAssassin rule RCVD_IN_DNSWL_HI -5.00
I have my SA score set to 5 as max until it tag's email as spam and at 10 it will be deleted.

The above rule is/was changing the SA score so much it was causing legit
spam to be marked as ham not good to say the least.
It is the highest hit rule in the list!!

I have the normal ConfigServer MailScanner scripts on all my servers. For some reason, they stopped calling SpamAssassin on all my servers. I think this happened with the early morning update (October 7). Not a cPanel update, but just cPanel Packages updates, OS Package Updates, and SpamAssassin Rules Updates (when did they add this to the Update Config?). When I restart MailScanner, I get the...

I'm looking at the /usr/mailscanner/etc/filetype.rules.conf

can you explain?
