Mailscanner on Freebsd

After the mailscanner install it gives a brief message to make the
install complete.

Something like -

make config

Don't recall exactly but you will see it.  It copes all the sample
filename extensions to the usable ones.

I have not installed mailscanner on 6.x .  Haven't heard of any problems
on 6.x

Use the standard cvsup so your not running on the bleeding edge.

      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.
