Hi All,

I've just moved over to a new server running CentOS5 and Plesk 8.3. (Previously I'd been running the sites on CentOS 4 and Plesk 8.2 without issue!)

I've installed ART qmail-scanner, clamd, maildrop, spamassassin and restarted and all appears fine. However on checking the maillog I see:

Code: Select all

spamd[14984]: auto-whitelist: open of auto-whitelist file failed: locker: safe_lock: cannot create tmp lockfile /var/qmail/mailnames///.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock.sub.domain.com.14984 for /var/qmail/mailnames///.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock: No such file or directory

Checking the old server with 'ps ax | grep spam' reveals:

Code: Select all

24975 ?        Ss     0:01 /usr/bin/spamd --username=popuser --daemonize --nouser-config --helper-home-dir=/var/qmail --max-children 5 --create-prefs --virtual-config-dir=/var/qmail/mailnames/%d/%l/.spamassassin --pidfile=/var/run/spamd/spamd_full.pid --socketpath=/tmp/spamd_full.sock

however on the new server a 'ps ax | grep spam' only reveals:

Code: Select all

18039 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m5 -H -r /var/run/spamd.pid

I've searched through this forum and the Parallels forum and tried all the suggested fixes but nothing works - even a re-install with qmail-scanner-reconfigure doesn't cure the problem.

I can see it's a configuration issue and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction on this one?

Thanks

Try running it "-u qscand"
