POSTFIX is a pretty good smtp server.
Nowadays, you cannot manage a good smtp service without running centralized
anti-virus and anti-spam associated services.
I manage a debian woody server. I expected that installing AMAVIS with
Sophos antivirus would be a rather simple operation.. But it appeared to be
really tedious.
Postfix (Version: 1.1.11-0.woody3) has been working well for months.
Sophos has been installed without problems.
Amavis-postfix has been installed without problems too, excepted the man
pages (?).
So, what is wrong ?
has somebody succeeded to make all that stuff working together or does it
need to find amavis elsewhere (amavis-new, instable packages,
www.amavis.org..), that is, inhomogeneous debian procedures ? Is there a bug
? better knowing at first !
-----------------------------
What I did:
apt-get install amavis-postfix
Package: amavis-postfix Version: 0.3.12pre5.20020310-5. (syslog says:
amavisd snapshot-2002022)
created user vscan (group vscan, shell:/bin/false)
the README-postfix file suggested to add some lines to main.cf
...
mynetworks = 139.124.176.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8, localhost, localhost.localdomain
...
content_filter = vscan:
soft_bounce = yes
idem to master.cf
...
vscan unix - n n - 10 pipe user=vscan
argv=/usr/sbin/amavis ${sender}
${recipient}
localhost:10025 inet n - n - - smtpd -o content_filter=
link between /usr/sbin/sendmail à /usr/lib/sendmail verified OK
vscan owner 770 of /var/virusmails
amavis owner of /var/lib/amavis
run /etc/init.d/postfix reload
run /etc/init.d/amavis-postfix start
run /usr/sbin/amavisd
testing telnet localhost 10025 : it works !!
nothing obviously abnormal in /etc/amavis.conf nor /usr/sbin/amavisd ..
BUT mails are blocked somewhere : tail /var/log/syslog ... postfix/pipe :
temporary failure .. (postfix/pipe)
cat fichier-with-virus-signature | /usr/sbin/amavis user-send user-recp gave
nothing.. (maybe nothing to do with previous)
