Mailscanner on Freebsd

Need to install Mail::SPF::Query

Install the following:
make install name=clamav
make install name=p5-Mail-ClamAV
make install name=p5-DBI
make install name=p5-Net-Ident

You need to make all the queue directories by hand and rename all the 
silly .sample files freebsd seems to use, which just makes life harder 
for you.

Start by getting the modules installed.
/usr/local/libexec/MailScanner/MailScanner -v
shoulud produce everything installed except Mail::ClamAV, Net::LDAP and 
SAVI, they aren't needed.
Then hunt /usr/local for every ".sample" file and rename them so they 
don't end in that.
mkdir -p /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming
mkdir /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine

That should be enough to get you started.

If you could document what you do and add it to the wiki at 
wiki.mailscanner.info that would be *REALLY* helpful for other people.
