Title: Permanent qmail-queue failure
Post by: nigeltodd on September 30, 2004, 02:38:48 PM

Since installing the clamav using knudsens howto, i have found that when i try to scan outgoing emails i get this message. Turning off Outgoing email scan solves the problem. Anyone have any ideas?

For the moment... You can disable the outgoing mail scan from the AntiVirus Panel... That resolved temporary my situation...

We wait for the next version of this script...

You could always use the version at http://pagefault.org. It works perfectly well.

Turning off the outgoing scan will save you some 30 MB of memory resources. I had i turned on a while but on a regulary basis the scan process locked up the server especially on attachments.

Before I used the pagefault contribs and it working fine... later I installed the other from knudsens and... same has you...

There is an updated package on pagefault and Jesper Knudsen also has an updated antivirus_install.sh with the clam_AV 0.75 libs. Try that. Your machine should have 256 MB RAM minimum.

Installed the latest updates from Jesper Knudsen.
Had exactly the same problem (permanent q-mail queue failure) after enabling outgoing mail scanning in the antivirus setting panel.

Did some digging into the logfiles.
in /var/log/smtpfrnt-qmail/current I found:
...
Error opening '/var/log/amavis-ng/amavis-ng.log' for logging: Permission denied
smtpfront-qmail[5668]: Permanent qmail-queue failure.
...

apparently a permission/ownership problem with /var/log/amavis-ng/amavis-ng.log

chown qmailq:qmail /var/log/amavis-ng/amavis-ng.log*    seems to solve the problem

Hope that helps.
Cheers, Smeagol

Hmm, on my system with amavis installed the log folder/file perms are:

[root@kryten amavis-ng]# ls -la
total 180
drwxr-xr-x    2 qmailq   qmail        4096 Oct 17 04:22 .
drwxr-xr-x   28 root     root         4096 Oct 17 04:22 ..
-rw-rw-rw-    1 root     root        97163 Oct 21 00:08 amavis-ng.log
-rw-rw-rw-    1 root     root            0 Oct 17 04:03 amavis-ng.log.1
-rw-rw-rw-    1 root     root        10084 Oct 17 04:03 amavis-ng.log.1.gz
-rw-rw-rw-    1 root     root        13332 Oct 10 04:03 amavis-ng.log.2.gz

-rw-rw-rw-    1 root     root        11142 Sep 26 04:18 amavis-ng.log.4.gz
-rw-rw-rw-    1 root     root        13070 Sep 19 04:03 amavis-ng.log.5.gz

Perhaps all that is needed is to reset the folder perms:

chown qmailq:qmail /var/log/amavis-ng

HTH

Smeagol, perhaps you could verify this on your system and report back to Jesper and/or this thread.

Title: Permanent qmail-queue failure
Post by: smeagol on October 20, 2004, 06:40:40 PM

That is exactly what I did (and wrote as you can see;)

Works fine after the chown.

Post by: smeghead on October 20, 2004, 07:37:38 PM

.. no, I think you have reset the perms on the files in the folder as well!?

Title: Permanent qmail-queue failure
Post by: smeagol on October 20, 2004, 08:45:40 PM

Ah, you're absolutely right. Subtle difference.
Did some more testing.
I deleted all the logfiles in /var/log/amavis-ng
changed ownership on the FOLDER to qmailq:qmail and sent another email.

No problems, no errors.

A new logfile /var/log/amiavis-ng/amavis-ng.log is created with perm 644 and ownership qmailq:nofiles.

Should be easy for Jesper to fix in his install script.

yep, just be sure to let him know about the bug and the fix required

I did notify Jesper.
Received his reply. I Expect an updated install script (with the chown line added) will appear soon.
