spamassassin / clamav iworx repository

Hello,

I saw that spamassassin 3.02 and clamav 0.81 are available from the iworx yum repository.

I’ve installed them, upgrading my old install, and everything is worjing fine


yum install clamav
yum install SpamAssassin

h?h? that smells good the new interworx version :-p

Thanks you :slight_smile:

Pascal

Indeed, we’re gearing up Pascal.

I should note that those packages aren’t built for all the platforms just yet.

Paul

You cheated Pascal ;). wrist smacking time!

Chris

haha :-p I follow up very closely your job. Too much Waiting for it :-p

I have to confess that after seeing this I checked into it and installed the ones for CentOS. I haven’t done anything but install them (no configuration) but I have noticed that none of the email I’ve gotten since last night has had viruses in it and some of my accounts get dozens of virus infected email a day. Good job, guys.

We are close, we’ve been testing internally on our shared servers for over a week and it’s looking good. Installing the RPMs won’t hurt anything but they won’t help either as I belive the defaults are “off” for everything.

Chris

I also have to confess (unfortunately) that it is most certainly a coincidence, since there is some configuration that needs to happen (which the InterWorx update will take care of) before incoming mail is virus scanned. :slight_smile:

Paul

Really? That IS odd. I downloaded over a hundred messages today from addresses that are normally filled with SPAM and viruses. Not a one.

Anyway anybody know what THIS means:

[root@centos root]# service smtp reload
svc: warning: unable to chdir to /var/qmail/supervise/send: file does not exist
Sending HUP signal to qmail-send: [ OK ]

Obviously it reloaded (and restarted) fine, but I was just wondering. Right now I am having a problen dowloading email (probably linked to the intermitent problems I’ve been having with DNS as we talked about in another thread). And I just wanted to make sure there wasn’t a problem server side.

Actually it looks like there’s a problem with the reload and doqueue smtp init functions.

Instead of using reload you can do restart safely, or, you can edit the /etc/rc.d/init.d/smtp file, and change references to /var/qmail/supervise/send to /service/send

Downloading mail would probably involve pop3 or imap, depending on which protocol you’re using to get your mail. I’d check the /var/log/pop3/current file for errors (or /var/log/imap4/current).

Paul

Restarting works fine, that’s why I wasn’t too woried about the above.

Here’s what I got from the pop log:

This is all gibberish to me, but I don’t see any FAIL’s or any obvious errors. The

modem0404-cp-tnt-d1.cpinternet.com:216.251.182.150::4321

Is me.

That all looks normal. What error do you receive on the client side, if any?

right now all I get is that it is resolving the host, then connecting, then connected and a LOOOOOOONNNNNNG wait.

It already says that:

#!/bin/bash

Startup script for smtp

fi

PATH=$PATH:/var/qmail/bin
export PATH

svstat=/usr/bin/svstat

Any other ideas? I’m not sure the problem is server side since I have the same issue with my softhome.net and ISP email account.

When I disable Norton Internet Serurity it suddenly works again. I did an udate of that yesterday. The question is . . . what do I do about that. I depend on that software to protect me from viruses. I just hope they release a new upgrade fixing this problem soon.

Tim

Paul you wrote, “since there is some configuration that needs to happen (which the InterWorx update will take care of) before incoming mail is virus scanned.”

Is that a 1.9 update or something sooner? I’ve got users clammering for anti-spam/anti-virus and am wonder if I should wait a couple weeks or go ahead and do the configuration myself if it is going to be longer than a couple weeks.

I doubt it’ll be that long, 1.9 is in beta now and from what I’ve heard has been very stable on their internal boxes.

1.9 is in release candidat. Look in the announcement forum and you may have it installed on your boxe.

I have tested the Beta 1.9 release and it works very well and it is very stable so I don’t think it should have some pbms with the release candidate

Pascal

Yes, very stable.

Now I’ve got the RC. It is looking good. I did have to bounce Tomcat after the upgrade to get it hooked back into Apache.
