QMAILQUEUE

when I try test_installation in qmailrocks installation I obtain:

# ./test_installation.sh -doit
QMAILQUEUE was not set, defaulting to
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl for this test...

Sending standard test message - no viruses...
done!

Sending eicar test virus - should be caught by perlscanner module...
qmail-inject: fatal: qq temporary problem (#4.3.0)
Bad error. qmail-inject died

Argh!!!!

What is it????

TIA
Ike

what are the permissions on the qmail-inject binary? It should suid to
qmailq if I'm not mistaken. It should be the same uid as the own that
owns /var/qmail/queue.

It is also possible that your qmail-scanner configuration is at fault.

i.e. the clean message went through without a problem, however, the one
with the virus encountered a problem. Are you scanning for virus using
clam or similar applications? It is possible that the anti-virus
application is having a problem as well.


According to which guide did you install qmail? lifewithqmail.org?

AK

I use qmailrocks guide:

-------------------------
vi /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run

To instruct Qmail to use Qmail-Scanner as the alternative queuing
mechanism, we add the following line to the SMTP "run" script right
under the first line (#!/bin/sh):

QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl" ; export QMAILQUEUE

...and we change the "softlimit" in that same script...

change softlimit to 40000000
-----------------------------
Qmailqueue export has no effect. If i write "set" in my shell I obtain
nothing for QMAILQUEUE

If I set manually QMAILQUEUE variable I havn't problem

Why so??

IK

PS : in some guide i see:

QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl" ; export QMAILQUEUE

in other i see
QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue" ; export QMAILQUEUE

whithout ".pl" ???????

re: QMAILQUEUE, the difference is how the person set it up. If I am not
mistaken there is a qmail-scanner-queue.c file as part of the
qmail-scanner distribution that provides for a wrapper in the event that
you do not have suid perl. i.e. even if you set UID on the perl script
it still gets executed with the permissions of the users. Using the C
wrapper, you can set UID on the wrapper that would then execute the perl
script as root or whichever user you need.

If you are trying to pass it in the run script, you need to include
QMAILQUEUE in the env - format.

You might be better off setting it in the tcp.smtp.cdb environment.
I.e. no reason to scan items for virus or spam when the items are being
sent out.
