I am migrating all servers from CentOS -> Ubuntu since RedHat pulled the
rug under CentOS. MailScanner is the last task on the list, but google
revealed that Ubuntu + sendmail/mailscanner is not a very popular
option? Are there installation instructions anywhere ? I am finding bits
and pieces online but nothing complete.
Google didn't reveal much about sendmail on Ubuntu either.
I installed Ubuntu 20.04, from the .deb file and installed MailScanner
without major errors (CPAN doesn't like it by the way if the
box is not connected directly to the internet but via a proxy.
I created second incoming directory :
mkdir /var/spool/mqueue.in ; chown smmta:smmsp /var/spool/mqueue.in ;
chmod 2750 /var/spool/mqueue.in
I set Incoming "Queue Dir = /var/spool/mqueue.in" in MailScanner.conf
MailScanner website mentions modification of startup script (which I
think is stale?), a google search revealed this is what needs to be
changed :
sed -i 's/DAEMON_PARMS=""/DAEMON_PARMS="-bd -OPrivacyOptions=noetrn
-ODeliveryMode=queueonly -OQueueDirectory=\/var\/spool\/mqueue.in"/g'
/etc/mail/sendmail.conf
I ran sendmailconfig, will modify sendmail.mc with all FEATUREs from
CentOS sendmail.mc.
Anything else I overlooked?
The server will not deliver mail locally but relay everything to
Exchange, can I enable define(`confSAFE_FILE_ENV', `')dnl or will that
break MailScanner?
Is DCC still used ? (https://www.dcc-servers.net/dcc/)
Thanks for any hints / tips!
