MailScanner Manual is now available

[Alex Neuman]

One thing I haven't got around to finish is a "cookbook" type doc that
would have things like:

perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Net::CIDR
install ...

Bla bla blah...

service MailScanner start && tail -f /var/log/maillog

Sort of like a "no brainer" mailscanner install, step-by-step.

Another suggestion if I may:

Possibly another Appendix.  Something that is a rundown of the whole book
and recommendations for the best spam blocking and virus scanning. Such as
(knowing that the information might be skipping stuff or not: Providing
that you know that the more stuff you install you need a beefy machine but
for the best protecting we recommend:

So the "perfect" mailscanner will/might be:
Install Redhat (or OS)
Install MailScanner
Install spamassassing
        Use bayes and do this and this and this for best results
        Use these filters from here http://xxxx.xxx.xxx.com Install virus
protection
        Use this one, its free
        Use maybe this one too as It catches more virues and updates
more    often
Install one of the monitoring tools, mailwatch, vispan.
Install eiterh DCC, Razor, Pyzor.

I know that is a little redundant but Its straight to the point and would
help people like me

Version 1.0 of the MailScanner Manual is finally ready for download. Many
thanks to Ugo Bellavance and Michele Neylon for proofreading, technical
corrections and some excellent ideas for additional material.

Version 1.0 is very specific to RPM-based Linux distributions. This is
because while I often work on other distributions, I'm more familiar with
this version of MailScanner. Hopefully there are some of you out there who
can contribute material to help cover the other operating systems that
MailScanner supports. Please drop me a line off list if you are willing to
contribute any additional material.

The virus scanning section is missing a few of the latest supported virus
scanner. This is inevitable since Julian keeps adding support for
additional virus scanners faster than we can document them. We expect that
this section and the entire Manual will be updated with every major
release of MailScanner.

To save trees, the manual is designed to be printed and bound double sided
on US letter sized paper. I'll try and get out an A1 version as soon as I
have the time.

Please understand that Version 1.0 is just a beginning. We hope it will
grow as fast as you can contribute.

Any errors or omissions are mine alone and any corrections or additional
material will be gratefully accepted.

The manual, in PDF format, may be downloaded from:
