Installation and Upgrades / ebox and clamav
« on: June 27, 2008, 03:01:05 pm »
I have installed ebox on top of Ubuntu 8.04 server and am trying it out, but have a few problems:
firstly whilst ebox lets you enter a relay host, there does not seem to be a way to set up the user details. You have to manualy edit /etc/postfix/main.cf adding:
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =
and then creating sasl_passwd, but it gets better, when you then start the mailfilter, the above three lines get removed and you have to enter them again, perhaps just using 'postconf' to insert the required line for the mailfilter would be better?
After setting up Fetchmail and was sure that I could send/receive mail, I found (from the relevant ebox page) that Clamav engine 0.92.1 was out of date and was asked to update it. Now as I sure you know, Ubuntu does not seem to take seriously ( MY OPINION) antivirus software and has no way of keeping up todate with Clamav (unless you know differently, and if so please share), so after a quick Google (they can't touch you for it!) I added the Debian volatile address to sources.list and upgraded to 0.93.1.
This brought its own share of problems, the Clamav database format has changed, sorted this and got Clamav-daemon to start,
but in the process of upgrading Clamav I lost the following three files: dansguardian ebox-squid libclamav3, so it would seem even if I wanted to, I now cannot use squid.
Now we come to final problem that I found (so far), on the summary page I get this:
Mail filter
Status enabled
Filter ebox internal mail filter
Antivirus Stopped
Antispam running
This shows that ebox thinks the antivirus software has stopped, but 'ps -e | grep clamd' gets me this '17448 ? 00:00:02 clamd' this would seem to show that it is running. Can anyone tell my how ebox checks to see if a program is running?
Apart from these small and I am sure easily fixable problems ebox looks great.
