freshclam-sleep not exiting properly, and zombiefies there by not allowing future attempts at running the freshclam. I did the following:

[code:1] rm -f/etc/cron.d/clamav-update [/code:1] then I made a file called freshclam in /etc/cron.daily [code:1]

A simple update script for the clamav virus database.

This could as well be replaced by a SysV script.

fix log file if needed

LOG_FILE="/var/log/freshclam.log" if [ ! -f "$LOG_FILE" ]; then touch "$LOG_FILE" chmod 644 "$LOG_FILE" chown clamav.clamav "$LOG_FILE" fi

Just wondering if virtualmin has a built in firewall or if you recommend running it behind an external firewall with only the needed ports open? Just asking because I did a firmware upgrade on mine, and of course it wiped out all the settings. No big deal, but I was wondering about using the DMZ on the firewall for the server and leaving it open as opposed to blocking it.

Thanks.

Hi There,

Is it possible to set spamassassin to once a week purge all my email accounts spam folder?

Thank you,

Hi All, Somehow a spammer has used my email address to spoof some useless spam sent to a tech mailing list I am on (my address was used in the return path). Of course the mailing list is happily rejecting the spam and sending all the bounces back my way. My poor server is getting loaded (well clam specifically) dealing with the bounces.

In the short term I have shut down postfix, but until I figure out how to block the bounces I'm not happy with bringing Postfix back online and choking my server.

Hi There, Just wanted to make sure I understand Joe's statement about CPU load monitor he made here:

I set up an email account and in Outlook I put admin.website.com for the user name and entered the password. I then clicked off my outgoing server requires authentication, but it won't pick up any email.

Did I set this right? This has to be the most confusing control panel I've tested to date.

Hello,

I believe that i had postfix in openrelay. I already had a spam run, i saw the logs and among my clients, i detected one doing spam, and them several unknown address sending from the server.

It is supposed to be a server that only accepts authentication method in order to let someone sending email. However, it is still sending spam... from unknown users... this is in did bad. :(

Any help ? any sujestion^?

thanks FIlipe

I have a cgi script for my autoresponder in cgi-bin/fump/install.cgi I have set all permissions as per developer, but when I run the script, I get a blank page and the script does nothing. I am testing virtualmin gpl, but just can't seem to get this to work.

It works on my cpanel domains, so I know it isn't the script. I've probably missed a setting somewhere.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Failed to query Postfix config command to get the current value of parameter process_id_directory

File involved: Cron <root@$HOSTNAME> /etc/webmin/virtual-server/collectinfo.pl

Postfix is up and running because it sent this report. What would it be looking for anyway?

Hi There,

I am trying to change the default php version from 4 to 5 in one of my virtual server, but after I had saved the change (sucessfuly), I access again the very same option and it still showing me that the default php version is 4.

On the other hand, If I try to change the default php version to 5 at the Server Templates Option I get an error message saying: "Failed to save server template : Missing or invalid Apache user"

Any idea on how to fix it?
