Perl will take care of it; no special action is needed. Then install SpamAssassin, again as a set of Perl modules. I modified mine to move the config files from "perl share" and /etc/mail to locations which comply with my site's software installation policy, but you can leave those alone. Then install MIMEDefang; it has its own installation instructions in case you need to set particular things, but if you don't mind where it installs itself, you can probably just ./configure make make install make clean You'll need to configure mimedefang by creating mimedefang-filter; I believe that a sample one is installed for you (but it's been some time since I did a scratch installation; I just do upgrades now). Test that your filter is found and sane with: mimedefang.pl -f /path/to/mimedefang-filter Use the supplied "examples/init-script" to fire up the two main mimedefang processes, that is, the milter and the multiplexor. (If all works well, remember to put a call to the initializer script in your boot procedure.) That's mostly it for a vanilla installation, since MIMEDefang finds SpamAssassin and SpamAssassin finds Razor. Now you need to make sendmail use the milter (mimedefang) that you have just installed. Check that your sendmail was compiled with milter enabled (can't think of a way offhand to check based on just the binary, but most modern sendmails have milter support); if not, get a newer sendmail. Edit your sendmail.mc file to add a milter definition, such as: INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang', `S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, F=T, T=S:60s;R:60s;E:5m') and restart your sendmail daemon. That *should* do it; check your mail logs for the results. I know this is pretty skeletal, but each package comes with its own documentation, and I trust that the above will get you started. Good luck!
