Hi All,
We had some odd issues this morning.
It started when outgoing mail 'hung' in the browser (Round cube) at which point I restarted the SME server. Following on mail refused to send, returning a 'unable to scan for viruses' message. Turning off the virus scan in the email settings allowed mail to send.
At the same time, we started to get Fetchmail cron emails containing:
fetchmail: another foreground fetchmail is running at 3664.
fetchmail: another foreground fetchmail is running at 3664.
fetchmail: another foreground fetchmail is running at 3664.
and I noticed the server wasn't collecting external email.
I cleaned the dozen or so remaining emails on the ISPs mailbox (SMS collected from our ISP's mail account) most of which was spammy or malware. This fixed the mail collection issue.
However, I still can't send mail with the 'Virus scanning' enabled in the manager. I'm not sure if the two events this morning were related but it's a little odd.
Any suggestions as to how to enable 'Virus scanning' again?
Thanks in advance,
David
EDIT - the fetchmail emails still coming through
EDIT 2 - the issue seems to be the 'Email Filtering Settings'. Enabling Spam filtering causes the fetchmail problem and non collection of mail.
