Hi, I've gone my way from installing freebsd from scratch up to installing mailscanner for my mailserver setup. Now I am configuring mailscanner and I am stuck wondering where mailscanner.sh.sample is. And it's not in the place where it's supposed to be--/usr/local/etc/rc.d/. Anyone knows what's wrong?


Thanks for reading.. =)
 
MailScanner should install /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailscanner, started with mailscanner_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf. Its configs are in /usr/local/etc/MailScanner (including sample configs).
 
It's not in /usr/local/etc/MailScanner either. The tutorial I am following says that it should be in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ but its not there also. Would be okay if I copy the mailscanner.sh.sample from another setup and put in there?
 
Did you actually install the port? Or are you running a tarball from mailscanner.info plus a tutorial that is outdated, not for (current) FreeBSD, etc.? Just install the port.

Yup I installed the port. I tried to reinstall it and it created the the mailscanner.sh.sample, however I can't send mail anymore. It gives a blank message when I "rcpt to: user". Prior to reinstallation of the mailscanner, postfix was fine. Any idea what's wrong?

Checking other configs now that might have been affected...
 
I've been running MailScanner for years and years, and I have never seen a mailscanner.sh.sample (it is not in the port's file list either), only the usual sample files in /usr/local/etc/MailScanner/. The starting point should be MailScanner.conf in there. There should be a regular start file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/, enabled by 'mailscanner_enable="YES"' in /etc/rc.conf, along with some adjustments that need to be done for Sendmail (changing the incoming mail queue for MailScanner to investigate).

Maybe FreeBSD 6 needed .sh files in /usr/local/etc/rc.d (don't quite remember when that was deprecated), but the ports system should generate those for you. In fact, I rummaged around a three year old backup of a mail system and found a 'mailscanner.sh' start script. This was on a FreeBSD 5.5-STABLE. Anyway: installing the mailscanner port must put a 'mailscanner(.sh)' script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d for you, or else something's gone wrong.
