    Thanks - thought it was right but wasn't sure. Found another jeos errata. The ss_update.sh script uses rsync which you have to apt-get for jeos. Also the clam_pid line in the script reads:

    clamd_pid=/var/run/clamd/clamd.pid

    when it is actually at:

    clamd_pid=/var/run/clamav/clamd.pic

    (final directory in the path is clamav not clamd)
    I didn't see any instructions to change it but may have missed it. So far your how-to has worked great. The final test will be if I manage to actually filter spam. We've been using a fairly simple Spamassassin setup but I'm hoping to get better results with your config.

    Spamsnake Working

    Thought I'd use this thread to give some feedback on the Great guide! After a few days, the guide and this thread I have the snake working!

    In case others need it here is (so far as I can remember) what I did different from the guide.

    1) (p3) On long list of PHP/Apache progs to install had to remove 'php5-json'

    2) Instead of commenting out from /etc/rc2.d/S20mailscanner:

    Code:
    #check_dir /var/spool/MailScanner       ${user:-mail} ${group:-mail}
    #check_dir /var/lib/MailScanner         ${user:-mail} ${group:-mail}
    #check_dir /var/run/MailScanner         ${user:-mail} ${group:-mail}
    #check_dir /var/lock/subsys/MailScanner ${user:-mail} ${group:-mail}
    I made it look like this:

    Code:
    check_dir /var/spool/MailScanner       ${user:-postfix} ${group:-www-data}
    #check_dir /var/lib/MailScanner         ${user:-mail} ${group:-mail}
    #check_dir /var/run/MailScanner         ${user:-mail} ${group:-mail}
    check_dir /var/lock/subsys/MailScanner ${user:-postfix} ${group:-www-data}
    3) Then I removed

    Code:
    mkdir /var/run/MailScanner
    mkdir /var/lock/subsys
    mkdir /var/lock/subsys/MailScanner
    chown -R postfix:www-data /var/run/MailScanner
    chown -R postfix:www-data /var/lock/subsys/MailScanner
    /etc/init.d/postfix restart
    /etc/init.d/mailscanner restart
    From /etc/rc.local

    4) Changed line in ss_update.sh from;

    Code:
    clamd_pid=/var/run/clamd/clamd.pid
    To:

    Code:
    clamd_pid=/var/run/clamav/clamd.pic
    5) Changed

    MailScanner.conf line


    Code:
    Run As Group = postfix
    to

    Code:
    Run As Group = www-data
    I think that was all I did to get it working well at least mostly I still have some postfix/relay/exchange/ issues not covered by the guide I'm working on. I hope this post will save someone some time

    :)
