Hi,

Saw it from the introduction page that it now support postfix.

May I know where I can find info on the installation with postfix.

Thanks
CH

Hi,

Installation of MWES running on Linux/Postfix is the standard one. Read the related help file.

Mailwasher Enterprise (MWES) can be defined as Content Filter in "master.cf" file.

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. But where is the related help file? I search thru' the untar folder and can't see anything relating to postfix.

Hi,

Have you gone through README?
We are in process of writing hints for other MTA's beside Sendmail.

For Postfix add below in "main.cf" file:

smtpd_milters = unix:/var/run/mwes/mpd.sock
milter_default_action = accept

MWES is a using SMTP so add following in "master.cf"

-o disable_mime_output_conversion=yes

Hope it helps,

Cheers.

Hi,

I added in "master.cf"

-o disable_mime_output_conversion=yes

but there's an error in my mail.log saying:

mail postfix/master[4940]: fatal: /etc/postfix/master.cf: line 23: bad transport type: disable_mime_output_conversion=yes

Did I miss anything? or should i put this disable_mime_output_conversion=yes in the main.cf instead?

Thanks

Hi,

May be it was not added in the particular field at Master.cf? anyway remove this option and try?

Cheers

Hi,

Now I get this error in the mail.log:

Mar 20 07:28:59 mail postfix/smtpd[5369]: warning: connect to Milter service unix:/opt/mwes/mpd.sock: No such file or directory

And also I see the following error in mwes log:

2009-03-20 07:09:23 [3032865680] Error: MilterConduitThread::ObjectThreadMethod - IMilterException - IMilter::Create - smfi_main failed

Is it the permission issue?

Thanks.

Hi,

Are you sure you executed "run script ./install" as root? In MWES installation every thing is handled by INSTALL script user has to define milter location in *.cf files.

Logs shows permission issue.
Apply following commands:
#chown -R mwes:mwes /var/run/mwes/
#chmod -R 744 /var/run/mwes/

same for opt/mwes directory.

Cheers

Hi,

I did a re-install and apply the commands you have given above.
Now the "Error: MilterConduitThread::ObjectThreadMethod - IMilterException - IMilter::Create - smfi_main failed" is gone but I get any error in mwes log:

Error: WebChannel::ObjectThreadMethod - exception - basic_string::substr

Even though I can see mpd.sock in /opt/mwes/ directory, the mail log still show:

warning: connect to Milter service unix:/opt/mwes/mpd.sock: No such file or directory

I also change the permission to srwxrwxrwx mpd.sock but doesn't help.

Do you manage to set it up using postfix? Do you mind posting your main.cf and master.cf?

Hi,

Could you post OS/Postfix version so I can simulate the issue at my end. Would be better to paste mail & mwes logs.

Cheers

Hi,

I am running Ubuntu hardy 8.04LTS (2.6.24-23-server) and postfix 2.5.1-2.

Btw, I changed mpd.sock to /var/run/mwes/

Below are my mwes.log, mail.info, main.cf and master.cf

It seems Postfix is not happy to talk to mwes socket.
Revert any changes you made to mwes or its directories or uninstall mwes and reinstall to keep things simple
Try following:
Open /etc/mwes.conf

Comment all entries of milter_port and add following
milter_port=inet:[email protected]

Stop/Start mwes

Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf
Change smtpd_milters = unix:/var/run/mwes/mdp.sock
to
smtpd_milters = inet:127.0.0.1:4049

Restart Postfix. (Make sure mwes start first and after that postfix)

Cheers

Yeah! It works!

Thank you so much for your help.

Just a few more things to check with you.

1. After I do a rescue in the Quarantine, should the mail still appear in there? Mine does. Is it normal?
2. What if I receive a false negative (spam), any way of retraining it?

Regards
CH

Hi,
Glad to see its working now

If email is being delivered to recipient then nothing to worry about, quarantine holds log till 7 days and then it is purged.

Future mwes releases would have these features, we are currently working on scalability and efficiency these bits will be added later.
Are you using mwes 2.63? It does has cool features like Grey Listing If not download and try.

Cheers

After running it for a while, I noticed that Mailwasher will stop work after every few hours and I will have to run "/etc/init.d/mwesd start" again.

I checked the mwesd log and it doesn't show any error:
