qmail-smtpd run

In qmailrocks guide, during qmail-scanner installation i read the
following line:



>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
>change softlimit to 40000000

"



I made this change and then I do:

qmailctl stop
qmailctl start


It does not read previous line. Why????

TIA
IK

ike,

modify the tcp.smpt entry to have QMAILQUEUE as part of the default line.

i.e.
:allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl"

qmailctl cdb
if you have mltiple allow lines in the tcp.smtp file, add QMAILQUEUE to
each.

When I setup qmail-scanner, I only included it on incoming MX related
systems.

AK

I do it and I obtain:


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

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

Sending eicar test virus - should be caught by perlscanner module...
done!

Sending eicar test virus with altered filename - should only be caught
by commercial anti-virus modules (if you have any)...

Sending bad spam message for anti-spam testing - In case you are using
SpamAssassin...
Done!

Finished test. Now go and check Email for
postmaster@artisticoegobianchi.it

???? In my postmaster mail I see nothing. (I use Squirrelmail)????

Thanks
IKE

Look into /var/qmail/alias/ the .qmail-root .qmail-postmaster you should
point those to a real mailbox on the system and not back out to a
username on the mydom.it.

i.e. .qmail-root should have ike@mydom.it and so should
..qmail-postmaster. My guess is that .qmail-root references postmaster
and .qmail-postmaster references root.

The test does not read any configuration files. If you want the test to
pass, do export QMAILQUEUE=/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl

I'm very unhappy!!


vi /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root ---> ... root@mydom.it
vi /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster ---> ... root@mydom.it

# test_installation -doit
.....


The resul is that i don't see anything in root@mydom.it (I use
squirrelmail)
I don't know.

IK

In file run of qmail-smtp (/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run) I
write:

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

Then I do:

qmailctl stop
qmailctl start

Why do I need to rewrite export in my shell ?

That's a loop. But the real problem is that you can't deliver mail to
the root user. See:

Setting the QMAILQUEUE in the run script is not enough, you need to pass
it by including the env - in the command.
A modified snipet of the qmail-smtpd/run file from lifewithqmail.org
using the reference of /var/qmail/rc

exec env - QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl \
/usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l "$LOCAL" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c
"$MAXSMTPD" \
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1


I still say that it is better to include the QMAILQUEUE portion as part
of the tcp.smtp file versus as part of the run file.
