BIGSCREWUP! with Exim 4.43-30
What is Cpanel doing?
My MailScanner is dead in the water, and no messages are being received!. All of a sudden Cpanel changes the directory structure of /var/spool/exim_incoming/input. This is where all my messages arrive before being scanned by MailScanner, but MailScanner can no longer find the messages because they are now arriving in their own directories; ./ 0/ 3/ 5/ 9/ b/ d/ e/ F/ G/ i/ j/ k/ L/ M/ o/ p/ q/ r/ T/ v/ w/ X/ Z/ ../ 2/ 4/ 7/ A/ C/ D/ E/ g/ H/ I/ J/ l/ m/ N/ O/ P/ Q/ S/ U/ V/ W/ Y/ This is absurd. Each messages is now sent to one of these directories? So for those of us running MailScanner how do these messages get retrieved from these directories? What is up with this? exim (exim-4.43-30_cpanel_smtpctl_av_rewrite_mm2_mmmtrap_exiscan_m d5pass) is the problem here. Messages arriving should just be placed into the /input directory where MailScanner can find them, not into their own split directories. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! |

You can fix mail scanner by adding a * to the incoming queue statement in MailScanner.conf. Mine looks like this "Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/exim_incoming/input/*".
If you have a exim-daemon.pid file in the input folder delete it, also delete the db and msglog directorys if they exist in the input folder. also check your exim.conf and make sure the queue matches the one in your MailScanner.conf , note leave input off the spool statement here Mine looks like this "spool_directory = /var/spool/exim_incoming" Be sure to service exim restart , and service MailScanner restart. My setup is C Panel on RH enterprise 3 so you may need to alter this with a different setup. There is still an issue with this setup, the manage mail queue in WHM is worthless !!

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.

It's your choice. It's out of your topic now. If you want to talk how good and bad between Mailscanner and Exim+Exiscan, we should open new thread.

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/ P.S. For those that want it, I'm also developing a cPanel front-end for users, though most system admins still prefer to be in control of the process themselves. Exiscan options will never be as effective or configurable as MailScanner simply because of the maturity and extensiveness of the MailScanner product. But, if you prefer exiscan, go with it.
