I installed the VexINS-AVMailGate-1.0-4.noarch.rpm( http://www.vexins.com/downloads/VexINS-AVMailGate-1.0-4.noarch.rpm) now I am getting the message "Cannot use downloaded new virus definition file.
Please upgrade AntiVir MailGate to version 6.14" when it tries to update I have read "http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=13957.msg53063#msg53063" whis suggest howto upgrade but I can only find 2 of the 3 files he says to update. I also not sure I installed the license correctly if any one has answers please help.

Hi Jon,
I don't remember exactly, but there is a script called upgrade or avupdate in the avmailgaite installation directory.
Execute it from the console and it will update AVMailgate to the latest version.

Thank You both I think I got it.
-
Let me know if you don't
Basically I did this
Manually downloaded the update
Unzipped it
Stopped the AVMailgate daemons and copied the upgrades daemons executables to /usr/sbin
btw the file you want is vdf-update ....
ln'ed /etc/int.d/avmgate to rc7.d/S99avmgate
restarted and re-updated
oh and btw chmod all the files in usr/lib/AntiVir to uucp:uucp before the restart
(This is from memory!)

I followed the instucions on http://forum.vexins.com/viewthread.php?tid=5 and did pretty much what you said execpt "ln'ed /etc/int.d/avmgate to rc7.d/S99avmgate"
I do not know how to do this or if it is nessesary could you please expain howto do this in more detail.
-
Sure
-
Sure
ln -s /etc/init.d/avmgate /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S99Avmgate
Ensures it starts at boot
-
Thank you all very much.

I do have a problem with e-smith and the avmailgate though. After the update and the change of the line in the contrab to /usr/lib/AntiVir/antivit -q --update it seems that after a save of the server-manager the line is back to it's old wrong default.
It won't do it's updates then.
Is it me or ..... ?
Does anyone know which template is used for this, then it would be easy to change it in the good command.
Thx !!

I cheated
Rename the file vdf-update to vdf-update.OLD and create a shell script in it s place of
#---------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
/usr/lib/AntiVir/antivir -q --update
#---------------------------------------------
Worked for me
One thing I also had to do was create a user "AvMailGate" and edit /var/qmail/users/assign (or more rather its template in /etc/e-smith/templates/var/qmail/users/assign/template-end) to add in an alias for this AvMailGate user because I was getting bounces bouncing (AV uses this user to send bounces)
read the /var/qmail/users/assign in "pico" to see how to create the entry - but first at a prompt type
useradd AvMailGate
Capitalisation is important it seems and I could'nt get Server Manager to do an alias or a user with capitals......

Hi,
Made the script and it works like a charm, but i could use some help on the AvMAilGate part.
I did make the user AvMailGate and gave it a /bin/false shell, but does it need a home dir ? and what alias did you give it ?
I can't find the AvMailGate user in /var/qmail/users/assign and the template-end is empty.
Some more in depth help for this newbie would be very much appriciated.
Thx !
-
if you run
useradd AvMailGate
it would have created a home dir of
/home/e-smith/users/AvMailGate (IIRC) and thats all
to add an alias for it -
pico template-end in
/etc/e-smith/templates/var/qmail/users/assign and make it
#-------------
=AvMailGate:arykala:5001:5001:/home/e-smith/files/users/arykala:::
.
with a "." as the last line on its own and replace arykala above for the required alias
then expand the template and reboot
-
Ok thanks !!
Could someone send me the file below. I've been trying some stuff but ^%*&#$ this one up.
Reinstalling the fetchmail rpm's didn't help. It's a email template.
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/crontab/email
Thx in advance
