Upgrade 11.3 to 11.4, Thanks a lot

[florian]

Thanks for the flowers!

I did the upgrade from 11.3 to 11.4 last night. Went very smoothly, system was up and running on the 11.4 version within 15 minutes.

New SWA theme looks great, and I love the multiple calenders. The Calender set option is also great! Just one question about this calender set option. I've created two sets. I get a pulldown menu listing the sets, but using IE6 I'm not able to select a different set, I can't pulldown the menu.. When I select the menu and use the arrow keys on my keyboard, I'm able to switch between the sets. In Firefox, everything works normal.

Kris,

first, thanks again for the compliments - seems like we've hit the spot with 11.4.

On your IE6 issue, while I cannot commit that we can or will do anything about it, can you still please log a bug describing the exact steps to reproduce in bugzilla.scalix.com?

Also, have you tried with IE7?

Tx,
Florian.

Florian,

Yes, 11.4 is great I'm now trying the new Smartcache on my own workstation. I like the new Smartcache status screen!

I will post a bug about the IE6 problem with SWA. With IE7 it works fine, but we still have a lot of Windows 2000 systems running, and I can't use IE7 there.

Now I can't wait to get my hands on the wireless Active Sync

[quote]Yes, in theory something like this should work, however we haven't tested extensively with MILTERs other than the commercial Scalix AntiSpam option. We have done sniff testing with Spam Assassin and ClamAV, however we haven't done enough to make it an officially recommended configuration, however we are planning to do so in the future and upgrading the respective docs on the Wiki to reflect.[/quote]

Do you need to purchase the extra license to do this? I tried using spamassassin as a milter and it doesn't complain but it doesn't seem to do anything either.

Thanks,
Brian

Nope, the milter interface in itself works in all versions of scalix without license, even community edition. the new licensing is only for the commercial Scalix AntiSpam (powered by Commtouch) milter.

a colleague of mine told me anecdotally that he has played around with spamass-milter and it worked for him.

As florian mentioned I have a test setup with SA and ClamAV:

Code: Select all

# list of milters to call sequentially (default none)
#INPUT_MAIL_FILTER=('CTmilter', 'S=local:~/temp/CTmilter_socket, F=T, T=C:300s;S:10s;R:10s;E:300s')
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER=('SA', 'S=local:/var/run/spamass.sock, F=T, T=C:300s;S:10s;R:10s;E:300s')
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER=('clamav', 'S=local:/var/clamav/clmilter.socket, F=T, T=C:300s;S:10s;R:10s;E:300s')

And this is an excerpt of the interesting headers:

Code: Select all

X-Spam-Flag: YES
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=5.3 required=5.0 tests=INVALID_MSGID,MISSING_SUBJECT,
        NO_DNS_FOR_FROM,UNPARSEABLE_RELAY autolearn=no version=3.2.4
X-Spam-Report:
        *  1.4 NO_DNS_FOR_FROM DNS: Envelope sender has no MX or A DNS records
        *  0.0 UNPARSEABLE_RELAY Informational: message has unparseable relay lines
        *  1.3 MISSING_SUBJECT Missing Subject: header
        *  2.6 INVALID_MSGID Message-Id is not valid, according to RFC 2822
X-Spam-Level: *****
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.2.4 (2008-01-01) on demo.scalix.com
X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV version 0.93, clamav-milter version 0.93 on demo.scalix.com
X-Virus-Status: Infected with Eicar-Test-Signature


This is on CentOS 5, with milters from rpmforge:

Code: Select all

$ rpm -qa | grep milter
clamav-milter-0.93-2.el5.rf
spamass-milter-0.3.1-1.el5.rf


Quirk(s) I have found so far:

- clamav-milter needs to have the same socket definition in sendmail.cf as in it's config file, refer to a clamav milter howto on how to setup this
- one milter init script did not work for me (have not looked deeper into this)

anyone go from 11.0.2 to 11.4? anything i should be concerned with when doing this other than recreating the user cache?

I cant remember exactly, but i did one the other day which was of that vintage (11.0.something). It went fine.

As per the release notes - smtpd.cfg gets re-written and your old one gets saved as Osmtpd.cfg. You will need to manually merge previous changes across, and yes SMTPFILTER=TRUE still works if your using it.

Other than that ommaint changes to sxmaint you you need to update your scripts if you are using it.

thanks for the input. I have 3 of these to do

HI at all,
We upgrade last night from 11.3 to 11.42, but i had to put spamassassin milter in sendmail, because the spamm pass the filter.
in the spam log, give the mail 1000,3 score and the permited is 5, in the header SPAM: YES, but the mail arrive at destination.
With clamav... if i put the milter in smtpd.cfg and delete from sendmail, clamav-milter don't start.

I don't now why.

After upgrading from 11.4.0 to 11.4.2, the installer backup smtpd.cfg to Osmtpd.cfg.
I can see that it is processing email in /var/log/maillog, but just that spamassassin seems stop working to add header to all emails.

it didn't backup, it replaced it and copied the original to Osmtpd.cfg. Its detailed in the release notes.

you need to manually re-input any modifications back into smtpd.cfg and restart smtpd.

i.e. in smtpd.cfg, above the relay lines

SMTPFILTER=TRUE

omoff -d0 smtpd
omon smtpd

I had many nagging issues with 11.3. The worst one was corrupted messages that would stick into the user's Outbox or Drafts and cause the connector to go berzerk!

I'm happy to report that since I've upgraded to 11.4.2, it's running smooth again (like it was pre-11.3).

Best upgrade ever! :D
