Topic: smtp stop after clamav update

[cirkit]

I am a linux novice but was able to set up a sme server 7.3 with over 20 domains and 50 users. The server is very stable and all its functions are runing. I have not updated the components since about two months since installation. recently i am getting this clamav error message.

Current working dir is /var/clamav
Max retries == 6
ClamAV update process started at Thu Jul 10 04:04:52 2008

daily.inc is up to date (version: 7679, sigs: 35769, f-level: 33, builder: neo)

 I need to update clamav components. I went to server manager, software installer but could not find clamav in the list of components needed to be updated. Since i do not know command line linux please help me to issue a command fro root to update only clamav.
thankx

How do i update

[versa]

I have not updated the components since about two months since installation.

In the admin panel are there updates to be installed ?

As far as I know sme server still has not got the latest version of clam in the repos, but I'm sure the dev's are working on it.

[cirkit]

yes there are updates to be installed, but no clamav updates listed there

[versa]

Not sure so
I know there is a newer version avaible than what you posted

Also check what repos you have enabled

[cirkit]

how do i check which repos are enabled. if not how do i enable them? i checked the updates section in software installer just now but it does not list clamav.

how do i check which repos are enabled.

http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ#Which_repositories_should_be_enabled

if not how do i enable them? i checked the updates section in software installer just now but it does not list clamav.

• Login to your server-manager
• Click Software installer
• Click Change settings
• See what repositories are enabled (selected), click the ones you would like to enable (use Ctrl+left click to select multiple)
• When satisfied choose save

But if you would have looked around a bit you might have discovered that yourself as well.

[cirkit]

I did come accross what you have mentioned. But was hesitant to do so. Your post gives me that morale boost to go forward and do it. thankx

i updated clam av and now my smtp has stopped functioning it gives me error 452. i read about in the forum but the solution mentioned about permissions being changed of /var/clamav is not appicable to my case. the permissions of the folder are group:clamav owner:clamav octal 0755 is that right? i then went to server-manager and disabled virus scanning and then smtp worked. i am putting last lines of smtpd:current below

it shows somekind of clamav error, hence it prompted me to disable e-mail virus scanning and try and it worked. now how do i get the virus scanning working again

how do i manually update freshclam from command line

[cirkit]

the permissions on /var/spool/qpsmtpd are owner :qpsmtpd group:qpsmtpd octal 0750. is that right?

Those are current versions. Do not bother about the signature error this has to do with yum verifying packages and is not harmful.
