BIGSCREWUP! with Exim 4.43-30

[kens6139]

[QUOTE=chirpy]There is actually a little more to just adding the *, there are 3 stages to updating (which is why I wrote the script). You need to:

1. Add the *

Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/exim_incoming/input/*

2. Change to split spool in MailScanner.conf:

Split Exim Spool = yes

3. Precreate all the directories for 0-9a-zA-Z (with the right ownership+permissions) for:

/var/spool/exim_incoming/input/
/var/spool/exim/input/

Mine is working without the split spool setting. Exim was able to create the directories on its own.

On my setup exim is not creating the additional subdirectories in the /var/spool/exim/input/

Probibly will be a few different solutions to this issue based on setup of mailscanner to start with, plus I have a feeling the next update could break it again as well :-)

Yup, fair enough. There are two distinct ways to setup MailScanner with Exim, one using the split incoming/outgoing delivery system and the other using the single delivery system but without outbound scanning. We've probably covered both for now

Did you read my document?

You can do whitelist for both virus scanning and spam scanning or even add option to cPanel and allow user turn it on and off.

You require clamavconnector. We prefer to control clamav ourselves since that add on has created several problems for admins.

As I said, it is your choice. But it is the way cPanel go. cPanel always screw the server if you have your custom installation.

I suggest drop Mailscanner and move to Exim+Exiscan.

I read the document and I couldnt get it to work past doing the make and make test for razor because it said it couldnt find Digest::SHA1 which i installed well it said it installed. Have you heard any problems about that?

Hello!

I am running the real MailScanner. I had the same problems as all of you - split_spool_directory was yes. However I reverted it to no, and eveything is fine.

Now, for the 1-2 hours that my mail files were placed in the wrong spool directories, how do I recover those e-mails? I assume that the "split_spool_directory=yes" mail files are still sitting there. How do I get these goofed-up mails to be delivered? Thanks for the help!!

Nevermind, I found the solution. I wrote a script to move all the files within the subdirs to the input/ directory, and exim/Mailscanner happily delivered all. thanks!
