Hi Martin,

Thanks for this, sorry if I'm being stupid, but I'm using freebsd and
I've updated my port tree, however I don't see the latest version in
there -

less distinfo

MD5 (MailScanner-install-4.60.5-1.tar.gz) =
cf1e87131f90ff7f43e1f4c1d787a245

Can this be updated?

Indeed, the MailScanner port is getting a little out of date again. Yes
it should be periodically updated, but unfortunately the maintainer of
the MailScanner port is AWOL and doesn't respond to emails, meaning that
the MailScanner port is currently not being maintained.

Maintaining FreeBSD ports requires a basic working knowledge of the
ports system and the program in question (MailScanner in this case), and
of course, the free time necessary to update and check the port works
before submitting a patch to the committers. Sadly, as of yet, no one
with the free time/skills has volunteered to help with this.

Some did do an independant update for the FreeBSD port a while ago (see
the archives of this list). But in the mean-time if you want to keep
up-to date and esp with the beta's you'll need to use the generic tar.gz
installer instead.

Hi Martin,

I did try that but it's an rpm and you can't install that on freebsd. Do
you think the mailscanner port (non beta) will update next time it's
released? 

I did contact the maintainer and he told me I could do it, but I'm new
to all this (I'm still learning) I don't think I have the skills to do
it.

I can't wait to add sanesecurity to my config, it's just awesome from my
testing last week.

Many thanks,

Rich

Hi Martin - 

I know, that's what I've tried already. 

[richard at mailfilter9 ~/MailScanner-install-4.78.15]$
/home/richard/MailScanner-install-4.78.15/install.sh

I am logging everything into "install.log".

You appear to be running on a system that does not use the

RPM packaging system.

If you think you can use RPM, then press Ctrl-C right now,

make sure the "rpm" and "rpmbuild" programs can be found

and run this script again.

I will install MailScanner under /opt, from where you can

move it if you want.

I will need to build the tnef program for you too.

You appear to have 2 versions of Perl installed,

the normal one in /usr/bin and one in /usr/local.

This often happens if you have used CPAN to install modules.

I strongly advise you remove all traces of perl from

within /usr/local and then run this script again.

If you do not want to do that, and really want to continue,

then you will need to run this script as

        /home/richard/MailScanner-install-4.78.15/install.sh
--perl=/path/to/perl

substituting '/path/to' appropriately.

I've been told Freebsd does not support rpm, so I'm just stuck at the
moment.

Thanks,

Rich

the above debug is fine - it's says you're not running an RPM based
system so it'll install inder /opt.

Now after that it sees both perls (system and ports) and as it' can't
work out which one to use it asks to run ./install.sh with the
(non-symlinked) path to the perl binary actually used. (have a look at
/usr/bin/perl and find out where it's actually going).

so you need to type something like the following in a ports perl
example.

./install.sh --perl=/usr/local/bin/perl

then it''ll install in to /opt/MailScanner-4.78.15-1 (or similar). Then
you'll need to setup your MTA and MailScanner.conf by hand to route
email through MailScanner, finally creating a symlink from
/opt/mailscanner-<version> to /opt/MailScanner

Have a look at the install docs on the mail site and the wiki for your
MTA
