asked on
linux (slackware), spamassassin, sendmail and the antivirus system.
hi peeps.
I have a linux slackware 9 system with sendmail and spamassassin installed on it. It accepts mail for multiple domains.
I'd like, in addition to spam filtering, to install antivirus filtering on to the server but (as with all things in linux) I thought i'd ask some advice first.
I'm not experienced in sendmail mail fiters so could anyone suggest 1) an antivirus package such as clamav or fprot to integrate with sendmail and
2) a guide on how to achieve this integration without driving me insane with panic? :)
thanks very much

I'll have to go look at the install.sh on the current version and see if anything has changed significantly since I last installed a MailScanner. I don't use the script at all and me and the MailScanner folks are "at odds" over that whole approach.

It looks like it is just not wanting to be a non-rpm distribution.
output of ./install-sh:

Good, you appear to only have 1 copy of Perl installed: /usr/local/bin/perl
Okay, you have /usr/src/RPM.
Good, unpackaged files will not break the build process.
This script will pause for a few seconds after each major step,
so do not worry if it appears to stop for a while.
If you want it to stop so you can scroll back through the output
then press Ctrl-S to stop the output and Ctrl-Q to start it again.
If this fails due to dependency checks, and you wish to ignore
these problems, you can run
./install.sh --nodeps
Rebuilding all the Perl modules for your version of Perl
Oh good, module ExtUtils::MakeMaker version 6.05 is already installed.
Oh good, module Net::CIDR version 0.09 is already installed.

The install wont run if there's no /usr/src/RPM
when the install cant find a dependency installed, it looks for the file to install in the perl-rpm directory and not the perl-tar directory which IS sitting in the install directory with the proper pakage in, ie IO-stringy-2.108.tar.gz
haylp...
I've manually installed Net::CIDR (the install script crashed on that as well) and now it's happy that CIDR exists. I've installed 2.108-1 of IO-stringy from the file and also 2.109 from CPAN but still gets stuck on this.
this is a snippet from the install.sh from MailScanner-install-4.32.5

dabbled unhealthily in the install script and convinced it not to think that it is on an rpm-ready system.
consequently, it seems to have installed nicely.

now wot?

manual install from the "Solaris or other Linux/Unix" distribution brings up, when I run ./install-sh:
./install.sh
Good, you appear to only have 1 copy of Perl installed: /usr/local/bin/perl
Your /usr/src/redhat, /usr/src/RPM or /usr/src/packages
tree is missing.
If you have access to an RPM called rpm-build or rpmbuild
then install it first and come back and try again.
any ideas? this is supposed to be the non-redhat installation yet it's asking me for RPM and redhat directories??
