mailscanner-4.x for Debian
2
--------------------------
4
NOTE: This is still experimental. The Debian related documentation
6
Please send updated install guides for the various MTA's to the
9
- Configuring Spam Headers.
10
When setting %org-name% in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf, you have
11
to make this change in /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf as well.
13
Updating Virus definitions
14
--------------------------
16
/usr/sbin/update_virus_scanners is a script to retrieve updates for
17
virus definitions. You can/should it install into /etc/cron.{daily,weekly}
18
if you want to periodically retrieve the updates.
20
mailscanner-3.x for Debian
21
--------------------------
23
Virus checking is disabled by default, because it relies on non-free
24
software. So mailscanner acts a a spam-checker only.
26
Use of some of the virus scanners (such as clamav) requires that the
27
"Minimum Code Status" configuration option in /etc/mailscanner/mailscanner.conf
33
needs to be written ...
35
Sample configuration files can be found at /usr/share/doc/mailscanner/exim.
37
sendmail configuration
38
----------------------
40
From "Kurt Yoder" <kybug@shcorp.com>
42
- run "/etc/init.d/sendmail stop"
44
- rename /etc/init.d/sendmail to /etc/init.d/sendmail.old
46
- gunzip /usr/share/doc/mailscanner/sendmail/sendmail-init.d.gz
48
- copy /usr/share/doc/mailscanner/sendmail/sendmail-init.d to
51
- gunzip /usr/share/doc/mailscanner/sendmail/sendmail.conf.gz
53
- copy /usr/share/doc/mailscanner/sendmail/sendmail.conf.gz to
54
/etc/mail/sendmail.conf
56
- run "sendmailconfig"
58
Sample configuration files can be found at /usr/share/doc/mailscanner/sendmail.
64
- Describe exim setup (things the Debian package does not configure itself,
65
the names and the locations the Debian package assumes, and that are
66
not covered by the html docs).
68
- Describe sendmail setup (not me)
70
- Convince the upstream author not to include the rpm release number
71
in the upstream source version. This BITES!
73
Currently worked around by using 3.01.2-1 for the first Debian release
74
of the upstream versin 3.01-2.
76
- Convince upstream not to distribute the symlinks in the package.
77
Must be a dpkg bug/feature?
