Sendmail ‘collect: premature EOM: unexpected close’

Sendmail 

‘collect: premature EOM: unexpected close’

If you are getting a ‘collect: premature EOM: unexpected close’ in your mail logs, or if you have people complaining that they cannot send email to your server and you have this error, then there's a solution to the problem.

I had over time installed several Blacklist denials in my sendmail.mc config file, and that perhaps one of these was not responding anymore.

By commenting out each Blacklist deny one at a time, I discovered which one was no longer responding. To comment out a line in the main sendmail.mc file, simply put dnl at the start of the line.

Will Windows Phone overtake the iPhone in Europe in 2014?

The latest report from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech has plenty of good news for Windows Phone.
In Italy Windows PHone has a 16.1% market share to the iPhone's 10.1%.

Apple Gets “Significant Bounce” On 5c, 5s iPhones; Android Still Trumps With 71% Share Of All Sales


Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, the WPP market research division that provides a rolling check-in on how smartphones are selling in key markets, has put out its latest figures this morning covering the 12 weeks that ended October 31. It looks like the debut of new iPhones from Apple have given the company a “signficant bounce” in sales. But even with the launch of not one but two new models — the colorful 5c and elegant 5s — the impact of incremental upgrades has not been as strong as last year’s debut of the iPhone 5. All in all, Kantar says Android took 71% of all sales across 12 key markets versus 21% for the iPhone.
Specifically, in important markets like the U.S., Android took nearly 53% of sales. In Europe, Android accounted for nearly 71% of sales collectively across Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Spain.

Step 1: Install the necessary rpm packages
sudo yum install clamav-scanner clamav-server clamav-milter clamav-update

Step 2: Configure clamav
Edit /etc/freshclam.conf and remove or comment out the following line and adjust the 
values according to your needs : 

# Comment or remove the line below.
Example

Run freshclam to get an initial virus database.Edit " /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf " and remove or comment out the following line and again adjust the values according to your needs. The values for TCPSocket and TCPAddr need to be enabled.

Step 3: Enabled clamav and regular virus database updates via freshclam
Start the clamav scanner deamon with 
            systemctl start clamd@scan.service. 
Check if the service is running via 
            systemctl status clamd@scan.service. 

To permanently enabled the clamav scanner deamon at startup run 
            systemctl enable clamd@scan.service.

In /etc/mail/clamav-milter.conf:
I also added a line:

AddHeader Add

So it adds 'X-Virus-Status:' and 'X-Virus-Scanned:' headers to the e-mails (so I would know it was working)

And then tell sendmail to call clamav-milter by adding the 2 lines below:

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clamav',`S=local:/var/run/clamav-milter/clamav-milter.socket,F=, T=S:4m;R:4m')
define(`ConfINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `clamav')

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
IMPORTANT : 

LocalSocket from " /etc/clamd./scan.conf " 
must be the same compared with 
ClamdSocket from " /etc/mail/clamav-milter.conf "

If the sockets are not the same , in /var/log/messages appears the error :
" clamav-milter : WARNING : No clamd server appears to be available "  

IF we leave "LocalSocketGroup virusgroup" and do not set "LocalSocketGroup clamscan" 
in "/etc/clamd./scan.conf" 
in the logs will appear something like this : 
<<
