Has anyone tried MailScanner on CentOS 7?

Hi,

I chucked it onto a test VM at home.

You need the ?U flag in the /usr/sbin/MailScanner

#!/usr/bin/perl -I/usr/lib/MailScanner ?U

Some of the perl modules included with MailScanner don?t want to build on CentOS 7.

I installed what I could from the distro and epel yum repos, and eventually got the required modules installed.

Not thoroughly tested, but seems to work for me.

Cheers,

Phil

Thanks Phil!

Sounds about what I thought it'd be... I'm in the process of a revamp of
our MXs, so thought "why not go with the latest":-).
Apart from MS and MW, did you include some of the other usual stuff (DCC,
Razor, Pyzor, CRM114 etc)?

Cheers!

No,

I didn?t try them.

I should perhaps make it clearer what I did with the perl modules.

Started with the list of perl modules MailScanner installs.

Installed what I could via CentOS / epel repos.

Ran MailScanner installer, and when it failed trying to build a perl module, installed the failed module manually via yum, repeated, until I eventually got there.

Then checked with MailScanner ?V and MailScanner ?lint.

Test emails worked OK.

Only gotcha I had was forgetting to ensure that /etc/hosts had a correct entry for the host in it. They joys of cloning VMs and forgetting the little details.

OK, here?s a fuller list of what I did to get MailScanner running on CentOS 7

1: install spamassassin from CentOS repo ? that installs a bunch of dependencies

2: rpm ?e spamassassin

3: Install spamassassin 3.4.0 from the tarball, grabbing any extra needed perl modules from CentOS / epel yum repos

4: install the following via yum:

From CentOS repo:

perl-Test-Simple
perl-IO-stringy
perl-Archive-Zip
perl-Digest-SHA1
perl-DBD-SQLite

from epel:

perl-Convert-BinHex
perl-Net-IP
perl-Digest-MD5-File
perl-OLE-Storage_Lite
perl-Sys-SigAction
perl-MIME-tools

The rest are installed via MailScanner?s install script:

(You may need to install some build prerequisites too)

perl-Math-BigInt
perl-Math-BigRat
perl-bignum
perl-MIME-Base64
perl-IO
perl-Filesys-Df
perl-Net-CIDR
perl-Sys-Hostname-Long

Hi Phil,

As you may remember (or not), I used to use Mandriva for my servers
(up until the Mandriva/Mageia split), so this sounds ... easy and
straightforward:-). No mixing in CPAN when all else fails;-).

MailScanner - latest release plus updated updated TNEF.pm from Git (https://github.com/MailScanner/v4/pull/29) and my phishing filter fix ( https://github.com/MailScanner/v4/pull/30)

This patchset might be useful too, but I don't know for sure: https://github.com/MailScanner/v4/commit/0b59afc1dde177150331248179d64d12820512c8 (uses IO::Pipe instead of IO)

Hi Phil,
As you may remember (or not), I used to use Mandriva for my servers (up
until the Mandriva/Mageia split), so this sounds ... easy and
straightforward:-). No mixing in CPAN when all else fails;-).

OK, here?s a fuller list of what I did to get MailScanner running on CentOS 7

As said, this all seems quite straightforward, so ... I'll do that
then:-). Which MW install did you use?

Only gotcha I had was forgetting to ensure that /etc/hosts had a correct

entry for the host in it. They joys of cloning VMs and forgetting the
little details.
Isn't it a bitch, progress:-):-). Do you use any prebuilt VM, or rolled your own?

Just one more, slightly daft, question... Exactly what version/source
did you use for MailScanner? The official website? Or the master
branch on github? (yeah, git and i aren't ... friends... yet:-)

There will be a website with that information. I just moved back to the US from Europe and am still pulling my equipment out of boxes. There will be something by the end of the year.

Well,

"Why did tarballs fall out of grace?" Sorry for the following ...

When you delegate all the difficult stuff to the maintainers,
of whatever OS you're running on your hardware, so you can
focus on doing, whatever you wanted your software to do.

Me, I'm on slackware variants, and nobody supports that, so I
have to change/patch all those packages going out to you
lazy guys, expecting software coming updated, specially for
your choice of hardware/OS combination.

Pretty much all important software, running on my servers, I
have made build scripts, to compile compliant install packages,
to install in the tool chain. Zenwalk not being maintained
anymore, I'm moving my servers to Salix, going back to where
I started. Slackware. There is no possible way to upgrade
my old server/kernel with out sending someone to do it hands on.

So, Zenwalk is out, and Slackware is back in.

Basically, what I'm saying. I'm not alone, being older than 40,
maintaining servers that has been running for more than 1780
days, without a single reboot. Patches/upgrades are done online,
on running production systems.

And that's why tarballs are not in grace. They are used by the
original linux distributions.

This is my personal thinking, after a long night of hard drinking,
just stumbling, noticing that lead comment:

"Why did tarballs fall out of grace?"

Peace.

I started. Slackware. There is no possible way to upgrade
my old server/kernel with out sending someone to do it hands on.
So, Zenwalk is out, and Slackware is back in.
Basically, what I'm saying. I'm not alone, being older than 40,
maintaining servers that has been running for more than 1780
days, without a single reboot. Patches/upgrades are done online,
on running production systems.
And that's why tarballs are not in grace. They are used by the

"Why did tarballs fall out of grace?"

Post by Glenn Steen
Speaking as another +40 yo, with a (broad) unix/linux background,
tarballs are fine if you like to tinker, but there is an element of
"ease" that is highly compelling with "packaged systems"... I like
Ubuntu on my desktop, Suse on my virtual apps and CentOS on my servers
(at least... That's fairly easy to get the PHB to agree to)... The
alternatives, in my world, are spelled windoze and bought appliances,
not built from source distros;-)
That was all fine for... The early days of linux...:-)
Having said that, everyone has their own reality... And using
MailScanner on for example CentoOS isn't a perfect fit when things
aren't in your favorite repos, the SA isn't new enough on the latedt
distro release etc... Hence this thread;-)
Some of the things Phil tipped me anout (pull 29/30) seem to have been
folded into the latest,so was less of a hassle than expected. Had to
resort to CPAN for a very limited set of perl modules. Other than
that, most things work ok, despite the shift from SYSV-style init
scripts to systemd (that was... Interresting...:-). Working eith
git/github turned out to be somewhat akin to working with any source

different;-).

I am working on the RPM install scripts now and just finished working out
the Perl requirements today. This is pretty much a total rewrite of the
install scripts as I am having it leverage each distro's package management
system rather than installing from source. It makes the management for
everyone involved easier and ensures that the latest stable items are
installed. I am doing tests for and gearing this towards CentOS and RHEL on
5,6,7. (And variants like Scientific.)

Here is how the install it is going to work:

- Install uses as many RPM packages (for Perl modules) as possible from the
distro base
- You are given an option to install EPEL to cover more Perl modules via RPM
- You are given the option to have anything missing installed via CPAN
- After the available RPMs are installed it tests to see what is missing
- If you elect to use CPAN whatever is missing will be installed from CPAN
- You are given the option to have the install script install spamassassin
(distro)
- You are given the option to have the install script install Clam AV
(distro) if you elect to use EPEL

My research and tests on RHEL 7 show that so far only Filesys::Df and
Sys::Hostname::Long are missing if you elect to use EPEL. All Perl modules
are available on RHEL 5 and 6 when using EPEL.

I expect to have a beta out this week for the RPM package. (I will provide
a link.) If someone could help test that would be helpful.

I've taken the liberty of mailing the "main contacts" for these two
packages, asking about getting them into EPEL 7. (I have no idea
if that's the appropriate way to make such a request or not, but if
not, at least they'll be irked with me, not you.)

Iâm in the process of rebuilding our MailScanner gateways so Iâm happy to help test. A very limited amount of mail will actually transverse the test box, but for installation and setup itâs perfect timing.

Is the idea of downloading from CPAN so that the most current version of a perl module is installed rather than bundling them with MS as Julian did?

I have EPEL enabled, but Iâm not finding these modules from the list Phil published on Aug 10 of last year:

perl-bignum

perl-Filesys-Df

perl-IO

perl-Math-BigInt

perl-Math-BigRat

perl-MIME-Base64

perl-Sys-Hostname-Long

Perhaps these are included in modules of slightly different names? For instance, there are almost two dozen perl-IO-SOMETHING modules; same with perl-MIME.

I see too that thereâs a perl-Math-BigInt-GMP which might serve as the perl-Math-BigInt? Or perhaps the perl requirements have changed and some previously necessary modules have been deprecated in favor of others?

Thanks for all youâre doing!

...Kevin

You can test to see if a model is installed like this:

perldoc -l Sys::Hostname::Long

(That is a dash L)

Some models ship with Perl, so you may not see everything. You can get a complete list of disto packaged modules like this:

yum list|grep -i perl-

Iâm in the process of rebuilding our MailScanner gateways so Iâm happy to help test. A very limited amount of mail will actually transverse the test box, but for installation and setup itâs perfect timing.
Is the idea of downloading from CPAN so that the most current version of a perl module is installed rather than bundling them with MS as Julian did?
perl-bignum
perl-Filesys-Df
perl-IO
perl-Math-BigInt
perl-Math-BigRat
perl-MIME-Base64
perl-Sys-Hostname-Long
Perhaps these are included in modules of slightly different names? For instance, there are almost two dozen perl-IO-SOMETHING modules; same with perl-MIME.
I see too that thereâs a perl-Math-BigInt-GMP which might serve as the perl-Math-BigInt? Or perhaps the perl requirements have changed and some previously necessary modules have been deprecated in favor of others?
Thanks for all youâre doing!

Subject: Re: Has anyone tried MailScanner on CentOS 7?
I am working on the RPM install scripts now and just finished working out the Perl requirements today. This is pretty much a total rewrite of the install scripts as I am having it leverage each distro's package management system rather than installing from source. It makes the management for everyone involved easier and ensures that the latest stable items are installed. I am doing tests for and gearing this towards CentOS and RHEL on 5,6,7. (And variants like Scientific.)
- Install uses as many RPM packages (for Perl modules) as possible from the distro base
- You are given an option to install EPEL to cover more Perl modules via RPM
- You are given the option to have anything missing installed via CPAN
- After the available RPMs are installed it tests to see what is missing
- If you elect to use CPAN whatever is missing will be installed from CPAN
- You are given the option to have the install script install spamassassin (distro)
- You are given the option to have the install script install Clam AV (distro) if you elect to use EPEL
My research and tests on RHEL 7 show that so far only Filesys::Df and Sys::Hostname::Long are missing if you elect to use EPEL. All Perl modules are available on RHEL 5 and 6 when using EPEL.
I expect to have a beta out this week for the RPM package. (I will provide a link.) If someone could help test that would be helpful.

There will be RPM, DEB, and source tarballs available once I iron out the
packaging. FSL is donating their MailScanner Gold and they have done a lot
of the legwork. Once I get a chance to review what they have I will make
it available.

perl-bignum
perl-Filesys-Df
perl-IO
perl-Math-BigInt
perl-Math-BigRat
perl-MIME-Base64
perl-Sys-Hostname-Long

In RHEL 7:

bignum
IO
Math::BigInt
Math::BigRat
MIME::Base64

... modules are all included in the base perl RPM. As Jerry noted,
Filesys::Df and Sys::Hostname::Long aren't in either the
RedHat official repositories, nor EPEL yet.

The Fedora contact for the perl-Sys-Hostname-Long package tells me
that he's requested an EPEL 7 branch. (Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555232) Specifically:

It'll take a couple of weeks to get into EPEL-7, though the process
can be sped up by getting it tested when it's in the epel-testing
repository and giving positive feedback on the update.

Haven't heard anything about Filesys::Df yet.

Thanks Paul & Jerry.

Slightly off topic, do you have any recommendations on getting re2c? It doesn't appear to be supplied in 7 yet, although EPEL for centos 6 has it.

Hi --

I've mailed the contact person for the re2c package to request it
be made available in EPEL 7.

Much appreciated. Is there a "formal" way for folks on the street to submit inclusion requests?
I got a chuckle from your signature. :-)

For our purposes (package in EPEL 5/6, not
in EPEL 7), I think this is the relevant doc:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_SCM_admin_requests#Package_Change_Requests_for_existing_packages

It appears the "right" way to do things is to add the request
to the Bugzilla ticket corresponding to the initial package
review.

But:

Please check with the package owner first before requesting a new
branch, if you are not the owner.

So that's what I've been trying.

Note that https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555232
shows progress for perl-Sys-Hostname-Long

I was able to resolve the first issue of negative numbers. See attached patch file for MailScanner-4.84.6-1. One line regex modification to allow for negative numbers in SpamScore for Spamassassin Rule Actions.

Brad

Subject: Spamassasin Rule Actions SpamScore negative values issue

BQ_BEGIN

There appears to be a parsing issue when declaring a negative number when using Spamassassin Rule Actions: SpamScore.

Working example:

SpamScore<0=>store-/to/some/directory

Failing example:

SpamScore<-2=>store-/to/some/dirctory

Also, on the same note, I would like to have multiple default FromOrTo: actions of the same type of check, but the below doesn't work. It only does the last action.

FromOrTo: default SpamScore<0=>store-/to/some/directory SpamScore>10=>store-/to/some/other/dirctory

Has anyone found a way around this or perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

Regards,
Brad

I have communicated quite a bit with Phil Randal (MailWatch contributing coder) lately and he has MS and MW up and running on a CentOS 7 VM

You might email him about any issues he may have encountered.

https://github.com/philrandal

On a side note, MW 1.2.0 b6 Dev has a number of issues fixed and some enhancements J

Tracy
