cwrapper working on FreeBSD 8.2/8.3 Prerelease

Hello,

As of 4/3 this guide does not work with 9.0. I am getting an unzip error when I run the qmail-scanner cwrapper. Once I figure this out I would suggest NOT using 9.0 but going with the 8.x series.

Due to issues with perl 5.12 and setuid being completely stripped out of it, I have tested and written new documentation for qmail-scanner. As of today I have the cwrapper script for qmal-scanner working on 2 different boxes. Both of which are running FreeBSD 8.3-PRERELEASE. The headers and the tests work fine. I will be updating the guide within the next few days and I will be testing that as well and making some improvements. The qmailctl will be improved to include the qmail-smtpd-ssl service and also some of the other qmail services like the qmail-updater (for validrcptto). Another change is the qmail-smtpd-ssl page will be shorter as all you will need to do is change the IP in the associated run script.

Thanks for your patience while I update the guide. I appreciate it.

 

FreeBSD 9

FreeBSD 9 was released not too long ago. For those of you using qmail I do not suggest upgrading to 9.0. The reason why is perl does not worh with sid/uid scripts any longer from what I understand. I am planning on doing a full install within the next few weeks and see if I can find a workaround. Otherwise I'll be switching to postfix. JUST KIDDING! I'll post the changes in the development guide and try them a few times before they go into development.

 

Guide Changes - Logging

Hello,

The logging on qmail-smtpd-ssl, spamd and clamav will be moving to /var/log/qmail. I think it would be easier to have all the logs in once place rather than have them all scattered. This should be completed today.
