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?
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,

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...

Is this the plesk 9 compatible version?

I have got qmail to fail on me in removing greylisting, having installed spamdyke.

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