MailScanner on Mac OSX (10.4.6 Intel CoreDuo) - working!

[James Gray]

Hi All,

Just thought I'd post my results after tinkering for the last few days.

MailScanner 4.52-2 (With Julian's install-clam-sa "package").
MailWatch 1.0.3
ClamAV 0.88 (from Fink)
+ a few odd's and sods from source/CPAN.

It works!  Surprisingly, considering this is my first MailScanner+Postfix 
setup and this is the first Mac I've owned (ever).

- The Time::Hires module doesn't pass the tests, but seems to run fine.  So I
  just did a "make+install" without the tests.
- The Net::DNS module from CPAN doesn't seem to like Mac OSX...I'm still
  working on that.
- Once MySQL was up and running, integrating Mailwatch was as simple as
  FreeBSD/Linux.  It's mostly manual anyway, so no big differences there.
- Still haven't figured out OSX's launchd stuff to get it to fire up
  MailScanner automagically.  (Anyone?)

TO DO:
- Pyzor and Razor2 clients.
- Install postfix-mysql and switch to virtual users etc.
- Install courier POP3+IMAP.
- Implement SASL/TLS for remote SMTP users.

Oddities:
- "\n" literal added to the end of log lines (Julian?), eg:

0.49, NO_REAL_NAME 0.96, UNDISC_RECIPS 0.84)\n
.... etc.

Other than that, no major dramas :)

Cheers

James
