Plesk 9.2.1 not working with ClamAV and Qmail-scanner

Unread post by accend »

Hi,

I've been using ART's solution for clamav and plesk for years now and never had any problems with it (great solution for updates php, mysql, etc).

We just got a new server and installed plesk 9.2.1, used the atomic channel to upgrade PHP and MySQL and everything worked just fine.

However, we haven't been able to make qmail work with clamav and qmail-scanner.

Are there any limitations on using ART's clamav ? (i.e. rbl, spf, domainkeys, smtp alternate port, etc) ??

im trying to install it:

# service psa stopall
# yum install clamd qmail-scanner
# service clamd start
# chkconfig clamd on
# chown -R qmailq:qmail /var/run/clamav
# chown -R qmailq:qmail /var/clamav
# service psa startall
Starting xinetd service... done
Starting named service... done
Starting mysqld service... done
Starting postgresql service... done
Starting psa-spamassassin service... done
Plesk: Starting Mail Server... already started

Plesk Control Panel will show that Qmail is Running as well as the command line. However, this is not true. No email can be sent using the server (SMTP ports 25 , 587 or 2525 (smtp_alternate custom port)

====

Had to stop everything, yum remove clamd and qmail-scanner (and dependancies) remove psa-qmail, and use autoinstaller to reinstall qmail to get everything back to normal. Tried this twice already.

Im i missing something? Any suggestion is appreciated.

PS1 - I would love to use plesk's 9.2 spamassassin as it gives users complete control on their settings (black white lists, etc)
PS2 - qmail-scanner-2.05-3.el5.art.noarch.rpm is the one being installed via atomic channel.
PS3 - We currently use a GAMERA as a MX server for all plesk servers, however, SPF, RBL checking in the plesk boxes is broken because it considers the GAMERA gateway as the IP address from which it receives email.

I'd check the permissions on ClamAV and make sure that clamd, spamd are running. Also, have you done a qmail-scanner-reconfigure? I know you said that you've used ART's stuff in the past, just want to make sure...

Permissions on clamav in /var should be qscand:qscand

At root of VAR: drwxr-xr-x 3 qscand qscand 4096 Jun 11 10:44 clamav
In Folder clamav:
[root@gz clamav]# ls -la

from the parallels plesk forum:
Good news, plesk's qmail already has this built in. By default it already listens on port 465, and if you check under your server mail settings you can also enable the submission port, 587.

just thinking out loud----don't you have to uninstall the psa-spamassassin first?
