Hi All,
I am a rookie at adding anti virus scanning software to my SMTP/POP3
(which is qmail 1.03), and I have a few questions.
I run OpenLinux 2.3 by Caldera), and the packages maildrop and tnef
were not available in rpm format for my system, so I downloaded tarballs
of maildrop (ver 1.0) and the latest version of tnef, and both configured
and installed properly on my test linux box (binaries are in
/usr/local/bin for reformime and tnef). However, on this test box, I do
not have sendmail installed, so I get the following from ./configure
from amavis-0.2.1
checking for sendmail... no
configure: error: Sorry, sendmail or a sendmail-like wrapper is required
Now, on my production box which houses the qmail 1.03, vpopmail, tcpserver,
etc...it is running quite well, and /usr/sbin/sendmail is symlinked to
/var/qmail/bin/sendmail (which was put there when qmail did it's install).
Now, I am planning to use NAI's virus scanner for linux on the production
box (not yet installed, btw), but am I on the right track (what I mean is
should I install the tnef, maildrop, and amavis packages there), cause I
don't want to break my existing qmail setup.
More info, I copied /var/qmail/run/sendmail to my test box, and ran the
configure there, which completed, except for the lack of a virus scanner
(so it would appear that the amavis will do the job), but as I asked
above, is there any danger of mousing my current mail setup?
-Bill
