Plesk 9 and qmail-scanner

Hello,

I tried to install qmail-scanner and clamd on a Plesk 9 host, but it didn't work...
So, after that, I tried to remove qmail-scanner: yum remove qmail-scanner. Everything's seemed fine.

But now, qmail isn't working anymore...
NO MAIL CAN GO TROUGH, nothing special in the maillog...
The only error I got from HORDE: sendmail returned error code 111

Any idea where I should look in order to bring back qmail?
Thanks!

Have you tried restarting qmail and/or xinetd:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/qmail restart
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
Is there anything current in the maillog?
Is there anything in the mailqueue?

Code: Select all

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat
Are you testing mail from outside Horde or is it ONLY related to Horde?
You did not mention your Linux dist/ver...

I tried to switch back to Postfix with the autoinstaller, then back to qmail (also with the autoinstaller).
I thought this would re-install qmail correctly...

So, qmail and xinetd have been restarted.
Nothing in the queue... And this concerns internal and external mail.

I've a CentOS 5.2...

Isn't there any way to reinstall qmail as it was the first installation?

If you've re-installed with the autoinstaller, there might be wrong permissions/entries on qmail folders/files if you previously altered them by hand?
When you send e-mail what appears in maillog?

Code: Select all

tail -f /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog
What message (if any) do you get when you send e-mail from client application (Outlook/Thunderbird etc)?
If you are ONLY testing/using Horde, that error is related to PHP functions (escapeshell, popen) being disabled in /etc/php.ini... there's a lot or results in Google and on this forum which may help with that.

Alright, I could get back qmail working!
I switched back to Postfix. Then I simply removed psa-qmail (with dependencies) and after that reinstalled it via the autoinstaller.

Code: Select all

yum remove psa-qmail
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller

was that using the version of qmail-scanner from [atomic], version 2.02-1 or the one from [atomic-testing] version 2.05-2?

The 2.05-2 is the version in testing with support for Plesk 9. All others are not compatible with it

It was with version 2.02-1.
But I'll try the other version soon!

Hey scott,
What about qgreylist?
Does it work with Plesk 9?
Thanks for the info :wink:

Is it too risky to use the qmail-scanner for plesk 9 (testing version) and Plesk 9 on a new production server in virtuozzo?

My provider only offers Plesk 9 licenses... :evil:

Hey Scott,

I checked again the YUM info of qmail-scanner:

Name : qmail-scanner
Arch : noarch
Epoch : 1
Version: 2.05

Is this the plesk 9 compatible version?
Thanks for the information!

I have got qmail to fail on me in removing greylisting, having installed spamdyke. https://atomicrocketturtle.com/forum/vi ... 634#p17634 refers.

mrhankey_ch, am I safe to do what you put above? I hope you or someone who can advise is "listening" and can help.
