The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

amavisd-new, redhat linux 9, sendmail and AVG virus scanner

Asked by JohnBrookeContingent in Linux Network Security

Tags: , ,

I have installed the AVG virus scanner daemon on Redhat Linux 9, hooked up Dazuko, and also (I think) configured amavisd-new so that it uses the AVG scanner (when I run the amavisd-new daemon in debug mode it apparently starts up fine and conencts it to the avg scanner).

However, I'm now having trouble hooking amavisd-new up to sendmail. amavisd. I added the following lines to sendmail.mc and regenerated sendmail.cf

dnl
dnl Change Mlocal to use AMaViS-Perl
define(`AMAVIS_LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS', `-d $u')
define(`LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS',`amavis $f $u' LOCAL_MAILER_PATH AMAVIS_LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS)dnl
define(`LOCAL_MAILER_PATH', `/usr/sbin/amavis')dnl
dnl please set the path to your procmail accordingly!
dnl the following works only with sendmail 8.10.x or above
MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `-m-f-r')dnl

I then restarted sendmail, and sent myself a test message. This got bounced with an error 255. The error log shows the following

Mar 27 10:59:36 garcia sendmail[4995]: starting daemon (8.12.8): SMTP+queueing@01:00:00

So what am I doing wrong here?
