MailScanner refusing to start !!!

chomps · 04-12-2005, 05:08 AM

I'm using FC3 with Sendmail installed and running perfectly. Also retrieving mail with fetchmail and sending to MTA.

I installed ClamAV 0.83 and still all OK....Then....MailScanner 4.40.11-1 and the #$%^ started !!!

When I try to start MailScanner using "/etc/rc.d/init.d/MailScanner start" I get the following errors:

Starting MailScanner daemons: incoming sendmail: [ OK ] outgoing sendmail: [ OK ] MailScanner: Can't locate Archive/Zip.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/MailScanner /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.3 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl . /usr/lib/MailScanner/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/MailScanner/5.8.5 /usr/lib/MailScanner/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/MailScanner/5.8.4 /usr/lib/MailScanner/5.8.3 /usr/lib/MailScanner/5.8.2 /usr/lib/MailScanner/5.8.1 /usr/lib/MailScanner/5.8.0 /usr/lib/MailScanner) at /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Message.pm line 47.

What's up?

Could it be Perl modules (I've checked for Compress::ZLib & MIME::Tools, etc)

Help Please...

From mailscanner installation guide:

Quote:

The following Perl modules are needed by MailScanner:
* POSIX (ships with perl 5)
* Sys::Syslog (ships with perl 5)
* Net-CIDR (I used version 0.08)
* IO-stringy (I used version 2.108)
* MIME-Base64 (I used version 2.12)
* MailTools (I used version 1.50)
* File-Spec (I used version 0.82)
* HTML-Tagset (I used version 3.03)
* HTML-Parser (I used version 3.26)
* MIME-tools with an important security patch,
and a 2nd important security patch,
and a 3rd important security patch,
and a 4th important security patch
(version 5.411, I used version 5.411 and I advise against any of the newer versions)
Note: To make life easier for you, here is a copy already patched.
* File-Temp (at least version 0.12)
* Convert-TNEF (at least version 0.17)
* Net-CIDR
* Compress-Zlib
* Archive-Zip
* Convert-BinHex

So I guess you need to install also Archive::zip

Thanks, but I already have all these perl modules installed...including Archive::zip
The problem still persists

I gues I'll try an earlier version
