Hi, I keep recieving receipts from cron-daemon for local email deliveries. Basically I setup a crontab to run fetchmail but ever since I started forwarding it with a .forward file I've been receiving receipts from cron to my inbox which are blank emails. I've also been told that my server is sending blank emails to anyone it receives an email from. How can I stop this? I have no idea what is happening and why either! Also I would like to integrate spamassassin and clam_av into the mail chain to scan incoming mail and any advice or links to this would be great too as I've had no luck so far apart from nearly breaking my mailing system! Thanks in advance.
Any errors in your mail log? What does the cron job look like that you set up? What's in the .forward file?
My mail error is- Mail log error: Code: OptiplexGX110:/var/log# cat mail.err Apr 20 07:35:19 OptiplexGX110 exim4: ALERT: exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog has non-zero size, mail system possibly broken Apr 21 07:35:30 OptiplexGX110 exim4: ALERT: exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog has non-zero size, mail system possibly broken Apr 22 07:35:08 OptiplexGX110 exim4: ALERT: exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog has non-zero size, mail system possibly broken Apr 23 07:35:12 OptiplexGX110 exim4: ALERT: exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog has non-zero size, mail system possibly broken Apr 24 07:35:11 OptiplexGX110 exim4: ALERT: exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog has non-zero size, mail system possibly broken OptiplexGX110:/var/log# cat mail.warn.0 Apr 12 15:50:49 OptiplexGX110 spamd[23081]: netset: illegal network address given: '192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0' Apr 12 15:54:01 OptiplexGX110 spamd[23098]: netset: illegal network address given: '192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0' Apr 18 07:36:34 OptiplexGX110 exim4: ALERT: exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog has non-zero size, mail system possibly broken Apr 19 07:35:09 OptiplexGX110 exim4: ALERT: exim paniclog /var/log/exim4/paniclog has non-zero size, mail system possibly broken My Cron job is setup like this: crontab -e Code: # m h dom mon dow command 0,30 * * * * /usr/bin/fetchmail -kv 30 3 * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate -f -s -v /home/kayasaman/logrotate.status This is my .forward file: Code: # Exim filter # Save yourselves if error_message then finish endif if $h_X-Spam-Status: CONTAINS "Yes" or $h_X-Spam-Flag: CONTAINS "Yes" then save $home/Maildir/.Spam/ finish endif # Let's make use of pipes # The script accepts input on STDIN and does stuff with the #mail #if $h_Subject: contains "uptime report" #then # pipe "$home/bin/uptime.pl" #endif mail if $h_Subject: contains "Cron" then save Maildir/.Cron/ endif if $h_from: contains "logcheck@" then save Maildir/.Logcheck/ endif #if $h_Subject: contains "" # then save Maildir/.Junk E-mail/ #endif #if $h_from: contains "[email protected]" # then save Maildir/.Junk*E-mail/ #endif #if $h_Sender: contains "[email protected]" # then save Maildir/.Junk*E-mail/ #endif # Handle mailing lists #if $h_List-Id: contains "leaplist" # then save Maildir/.mailinglists.leap.linux/ #elif $h_from: contains "ebay.com" # then save Maildir/.Ebay/ #elif $h_Sender: contains "LINUX-L" # then save Maildir/.mailinglists.LUG/ #endif I based it on someone elses from a howto, hence the commented out parts! I have also installed amavis as I thought that it would get clam_av to work with Exim4 but it just sends me a local mail saying: Code: netset: illegal network address given: '192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0' I think setting up my mail server has to be one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do in linux, it's strange!
In what file do you have 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0? Can you try changing it to 192.168.1.0/24 instead? What's in /var/log/exim4/paniclog?

I installed amavis because I thought that it would intergrate clam-av into exim but if it isn't the case then I will remove amavis as I wouldn't have any need for it. - As stated above I would like to get spamassassin and clam-av into exim to check incoming mail but I couldn't find any howto's or other information to help me build the system in.

I've just tried to change line 115 of /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp from Code: av_scanner = clamd:/tmp/clamd to Code: av_scanner = clamd:/usr/sbin/clamd as there is no clamd in /tmp directory but clamd is in /usr/sbin. However after saving and trying to restart exim4 the old file is rewritten again to /tmp/clamd and not transferred to /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated. I really don't understand this??
av_scanner should point to a port or a socket, but it seems like your exim has no support for av scanning which debian are you using ?
clamdav on my ubuntu exim anti-spam server is the av_scanner defined like below... (a uncompleted howto about how the server is installed) # Specify the virus scanner to use av_scanner = clamd:/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl In /etc/clamav/clamd.conf there should also be a ref to this socket.
I'm using Debian Etch! I don't know if this howto is compatible with my system but I will have a look and try it and see what happens.
Well the "howto" is created on at Debian Etch... but I don't think you need to use the howto ! The howto if for a sbs anti-spam / anti-vira server and not for a stand alone workstation... Most issues I have had with clamav is permissions and the location of the socked....
Ok I tried the howto with no luck even the path that you gave me: doesn't accept and now it seems my whole mail system is down as my server no longer sends and recieves mail messages! I think exim4 is now offline :-(

I don't know if I've failed to install a specific component?
Exim4 panic error This message will you see everytime exim4 starts and the paniclog is none-enpty on a Debian / Ubuntu system simply Code: rm /var/log/exim4/paniclog to remove the above error. Are you using exim4 in split conf ? what does netstat -a | grep clamav show ??? did you compile exim4 your self or apt-get install exim4-daemon-heavy ? Have you run update-exim4.conf after chances in the /etc/exim4/conf.d dir the update-exim4.conf generates the /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated file.
Not split conf files just standard one config file. This is what I ran last: Code: OptiplexGX110:/var/log/exim4# rm paniclog OptiplexGX110:/var/log/exim4# /etc/init.d/exim4 restart Stopping MTA for restart:2008-05-01 00:27:20 Exim configuration error in line 116 of /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp: main option "av_scanner" unknown Invalid new configfile /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp not installing /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.tmp to /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated
netstat -a | grep clamav shows: Code: OptiplexGX110:/var/log/exim4# netstat -a | grep clamav unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 3005059 /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl I installed clam_av from apt! All system is installed via apt, no self compiled or non Debian packages are in!
It seems that this config in: /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template was causing all the problems! Code: # messages to be automatically scanned for viruses. You have to modify the # configuration in two places to set this up. The first of them is here, # where you define the interface to your scanner. This example is typical # for ClamAV; see the manual for details of what to set for other virus # scanners. The second modification is in the acl_check_data access # control list. # av_scanner = clamd:/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl # For spam scanning, there is a similar option that defines the interface to # SpamAssassin. You do not need to set this if you are using the default, which # is shown in this commented example. As for virus scanning, you must also # modify the acl_check_data access control list to enable spam scanning. # spamd_address = 127.0.0.1 783 Now that it is by-passed exim4 managed to restart cleanly with no problems! I don't think that anti spyware or virus are working however since they are quoted out.
exim4 are you running exim4-daemon-heavy ? please do a Code: apt-get install exim4-daemon-heavy in /etc/group is clamav added to the debian-exim ? Code: cat /etc/group |grep clamav output something like this Debian-exim:x:102:clamav clamav:x:105:
I have install exim4-daemon-heavy and ran: cat /etc/group |grep clamav which outputted: clamav:x:116: Does the exim4 heavy daemon change my config or can I do more with it?
