sa-update: command not found

Hello Alex

Yes I ran it from root user
As I said, it is a new server so there is no rules configured before.
I've found a running version of sa-update in /SourceCache/spamassassin/

In Spamassassin website, it is said that sa-update must be at the same location than spamassassin (I suppose to be /usr/bin/) So I propose to copy sa-update in the same directory but what about rules, spamc, spamd, spam-apache, sql, t… folders located in /SourceChache/Spamassassin/.

Another question about sa-learn. There is an old version in /usr/bin/ and a new version in /SourceCache/spamassassin/. Must I copy it also the new version at the place of the old one.

Thanks Alex for all your contributions. You seems to be the very best one of contributors about mail services !

Hi Alex

I was away for a few days. So I can't reply.
Thanks for all your informations.

HELAS

This afternoon, I install the new server. The install is clean because I'have started from a new formatted disk

And I've same errors than the old one. All mails are blocked in queue. I've comment the line about amavis in main.cf. Some mails are distributed but other no

Here are the 2 types of message that I ve in queue

delivery temporarily suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused

This one is when the line is uncommented


delivery temporarily suspended: transport is unavailable

this one is when the line about amavis is commented.

I've seen something (relied or not). I cannot uncheck the virus and the spam button in server administration. When I save, the buttons return checked. But I can change options in the two "sub pannel". I've made repair authorization, disk, erase pram, reset open firmware. Nothing.

It s a working server so your help is greatly accepted and welcome

Thanks

re Hi

So Alex, i must add some issue.
I see that my previous message is not very clear. (my english is not so good)

When I the line about "content_filter" is uncommented the message is :
"delivery temporarily suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1 http://127.0.0.1: Connection refused"


When I the line about "content_filter" is commented the message is :
"delivery temporarily suspended: transport is unavailable"

I've notice that, in this case, messages stocked are from a mailer deamon and all recipients are not for my domain. not sure but it is possible that it s a t the moment where I check "return spam or virus"(i d o not remember and i'm not in front of the server)

Since i've commented the line about content_filter, spam and virus filters are unchecked. If I check the two boxes, it adds a new line in main.cf (suppose to be normal).

I'am very disappointed because I take a lot of time to do the install correctly with last updates.

Result : same problem that the old server.

Is there a possibilty that the last security update of apple has a minor bug?

Tell me if you need some logs, but please tell me also where I can find them. I'm not familiar with Unix system...

Sorry I've not seen that it was for 10.5.
My server is running under 10.4.11.
So I'm away from the server now, but I can access with ssh.
When I run amavisd, I get this message :
drop_priv: No such username: vscan

I'm logged as root.
😟

I've read your message about security update. But I've installed security update and AFTER I've confiured the server. Is it matter?

You are right.
I'm a stupid boy.
I've stopped at the end of step 4.
So tomorrow, I will correct the amavisd.conf with the hope that after it will running fine.

Thanks Alex

Hello Alex

This morning I've made change on amavisd.conf as it's said in your how-to and run amavisd

I've run amavisd (as root user) :

setrgid() not implemented at /usr/bin/amavisd line 12353.

So I'm away from my knowledge. I'm only a user.

The very bad news is that the server has refused all incomming mail this night (no mail in queue). Yesterday, before I leave, it was running not fine but running.

So at this time I don't know what I must do. Erase all the partition and restart from 0 or try to repair. For the moment, I'm running on the old server without virus scanner.

Thanks for your opinion

Yes I update with amavisd 2.6.0. I've understood that this was a stable version. All previous versions was mentionned as candidate release. So I suppose I must review my english.
Sorry.
So can I reinstall 2.5.4. Or better to reinstall all. I can do that this week end

Okay.
Thanks for all Alex. This week end, I format and reinstall all, following ALL your instructions.
Good night

Vinc'
