MailScanner question
Hello, Anyone here familiar with MailScanner? I have asked this question on the MailScanner list, but I haven't gotten a reply. I know it must be a simple solution, yet, for the life of me, I can't find the answer. I want to quarantine password-protected file attachments, actually, any file attachments that MailScanner determines as suspicious. Currently, the attachments are being deleted and not quarantined <not good>. After looking through mailscanner.conf I found; <snip> # Reports and Responses # --------------------- # # Do you want to store copies of the infected attachments and messages? # This can also be the filename of a ruleset. Quarantine Infections = yes <snip> However, an attachment was deleted and not stored in /var/spool/MailScanner/quaratine/, according the text message; This is a message from MailScanner E-Mail Virus Protection Service ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The original e-mail message contained potentially dangerous content, which has been removed for your safety. The content is dangerous as it is often used to spread viruses or to gain personal or confidential information from you, such as passwords or credit card numbers. Due to limitations placed on us by the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, we were unable to keep a copy of the original attachment. The content filters found this: MailScanner: Message contained password-protected archive ~~~ Where in the conf can I fix this? Many thanks in advance. James
I purchased a new HP dv5237cl with a sata 120-GB harddrive. Installation offered the following defaults. Create extended partion /dev/sda4 51.7 GB Create swap /dev/sda5 2 GB Create root /dev/sda6 19.5 GB Create home /dev/sda7 30.2 GB When installing SUSE 10.1 I got the following error message. Failure occurred during following action: Shrinking partition /dev/sda1 to 45.1 GB System errpr code was -3027 A second attempt gave me the same result. The current layout as supplied by HP is: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 12650 101611093+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 12652 14462 14546857+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/sda3 14463 14593 1052257+ d7 Unknown 104GB NTFS HP_RECOVERY 1.1GB NTFS I suspect by reloading XP and dumping the HP_RECOVERY partition and/or the FAT32 partition which I believe is used for watching DVD's without actually booting the native XP that I might succeed. It would be a bit of pain to do this but I thought I would ask if anyone has had experience with this issue? Cheers, Bob

When installing SUSE 10.1 I got the following error message.

I just purchased an HP Pavilion S7400N. Same story, although the message was different. When I was done with the install of SuSE the Windoze partition was broken and Windoze would not boot. Here is what I did: First off, NTFS partitions do not appear to be supported... so shrinking during the install of SuSE does not work. The tech sites suggest using Partition magic first, but I opt'd to follow these steps, which worked well for me. 1) leave the HP Recovery Partition alone... you'll need it later. 2) In the SuSE installer use custom partitioning and delete all of the partitions except the Recovery Partition. 3) Create a primary partition (Fat 32 LBA) for the size of Windoze... maybe 30GB? 4) create a primary partion for /boot... format ext2 about 30M 5) create a primary partion for / format Reiser about 2 GB (way too big on purpose) 6) create extended partion for the remainder of the drive 7) create partition for /home format Reiser about 20GB 8) create partition for /var format Reiser about 1 GB 9) create partition for /tmp format Reiser about 1 GB 10) create partition for /usr format Reiser about 6 GB 11) create partition for /opt format Reiser about 4 GB 12) create partition for /usr/local format Reiser remainer of the drive Now load SuSE and install grub... it should see the Recovery partition and make that bootable.... if not, don't worry, you can get to it from the hardware boot screen When you are done installing SuSE, boot the machine and boot into the recovery partition.... this will reload the HP Windoze programs.... and it will ALSO REPLACE GRUB so that the machine will not boot into Linux... this is ok too.... After you are finished loading Windoze, use the SuSE install DVD----on the installation options instead of (New Installation, or Update) take the [ other ] option and then select expert tools... and then select Install New Bootloader.... this will rebuild the master boot record and restore GRUB. Now that Linux will boot again update the /boot/grub/menu.lst to add the chainloader in for Windoze....: like this: title Alternate (WinXP) chainloader (hd0,0)+1 Now the machine should be fine. In my case, the partition DID shrink but was unbootable... this was ok, because the Recovery Partition reformatted the Windoze partition (NTFS) before the restore.... so no problem. My machine is triple boot... one for Windoze, One for SuSE, One for HP Recovery.... (I must add this next preachy part) My machine was built for my daughter... on my personal machine (same model) I just blew away all of the Windblows stuff... and loaded the machine with the raw cold power of SuSE... end of story. Good luck... -- Kind regards, M Harris <><

Why did you reply to James email, change the subject then ask your question? This is called thread hi-jacking and is frowned upon on this list. In the future please open a _NEW_ email to ask your question. Many on this list use a feature called threading which groups all of the messages of a particular "thread" together which makes it easier to follow the "conversation" regarding the OP's request for help. Since you are using Thunderbird 1.5.0.4 you also have this feature available. Try it and you will see what I am talking about. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

Just this weekend, but with a dv5000 and ide disk.
This is definitely something in the HP setup as I first tried with
Partition Magic 8 which could not convert NTFS to FAT32 or resize, it
stopped and reported that it had too many errors.
I just reinstalled XP with a smaller fat32 partition, I was surprised to
see that the CD appears to be a proper XP one and not a bastardised one
and after installing it and the supplementary HP one the machine didn't
ask for licence codes and any activation.
Best of luck.

I had the same issue on a DELL laptop. I found the gparted Live-CD to work however, so just shrink your partition with this tool and then continue with your SUSE installation. http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php Ciao Siegbert
