RE: MailScanner with Sendmail



Thanks alot I now have MailScanner scanning all my messages :). How ever I
have one minor(?) problem, sendmail movers messages to the mqueue.in ,
MailScanner scans them and moves them to the /mqueue like it should,...
but the messages just sit there. Do I now need to change procmail?

You'll need to tell sendmail to just queue the mail for delivery, not
actually
deliver it.

in /etc/mail/sendmail.conf, you'll something like:
DAEMON_PARMS="-bd -OPrivacyOptions=noetrn -ODeliveryMode=queueonly
-OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in";

then get Mailscanner to pick up the mail from the queue, scan it, and put
it
back into sendmail's delivery queue.

in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf:
Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/mqueue.in
Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/mqueue

sendmail doesn't directly call mailscanner, both run as separate processes
and
just put the necessary files where the other can find them,
