Just wondering...

[Andrew Macheta]

Hi,

Apologies if this is covered somewhere in the documentation....but I
couldn't find it so thought it might be easier to email the list rather
than waste further time looking.

I'm trying to install Mailscanner on my Solaris 11.3 SPARC server that
runs sendmail.
I've gone for the 'easy' option and used the openCSW package
repo.

When downloaded, I get the following new services:

cswmailscanner
cswmailscannersendmail

and when I download ClamAV I get these:

cswclamav-milter
cswclamd

which need to be configured in order to work.

Do you know if the cswmailscannersendmail is a direct replacement for the
2 default Solaris services (smtp:sendmail and sendmail-client:default)
i.e. can I simply disable these services.
Also, I going to use 'ClamAv' as my virus engine and the documentation
?seems to imply that 'MailScanner' will talk directly to ClamAV ....but
why is cswclamav-milter included?

Basically I'm looking to replace my Amavis-> sendmail -> Sophos ->
Spamassassin with

Mailscanner -> sendmail -> clamav -> Spamassassin to see if the
spam/phishing/virus detection improves.

Any help will of course be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Andy
