You would have to choose, you can only do one, not both. If you would like to upgrade to 2.3.2, since you are a Debian user, you might find this helpful: http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/upgrade-amavis.html Maia Mailgard replaces the main amavisd-new program. If you choose Maia Mailguard: A few pointers. To install Maia, carefully follow the instructions on the Maia Mailgard site. Maia is a patch to the amavisd Perl program and you MUST patch a copy of 20030616-p10 you download from ijs.si. You cannot patch the Debian version (amavisd-new). Make backup copies of /usr/sbin/amavisd-new and /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf in case you change your mind later. Once you patch amavisd, rename it to amavisd-new and then copy it to /usr/sbin. Read and understand the instructions before you begin. If you have questions, join the Maia users mailing list. You would also have to create a symbolic link from /etc/amavisd.conf to /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf or Maia will not start: ln -s /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf /etc/amavisd.conf Nearly all the directories in the instructions will differ from where your programs are installed, for example, the instructions may show: /usr/local/sbin/amavisd for the program name but Debian uses /usr/sbin/amavisd-new for the program name The example may show /var/amavisd is the amavis directory but Debian uses /var/lib/amavis The example may show /etc/amavisd.conf but Debian uses /etc/amavis/amavisd.conf and so on, and so on. Once you install Maia, you will have to place the amavisd-new package on hold, so it will not replace Maia with amavisd-new when you upgrade packages: echo "amavisd-new hold" | dpkg --set-selections Gary V ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
