Scalix 11, Fedora Core 5 & Spam Assassin - All Together

[lilkev]

Hi There.

I'm a Mail server newbie. I have installed Scalix 11 at a couple of my Users sites and it works a Treat! Sooo Impressive, Well done to the Scalix Team.

My OS of Choice is Fedora Core 5. I want to Add Spam Assassin and later ClamAV to my Scalix Server to Filter the incoming Mail Queue. I have Printed the Scalix Manual, perused the Forum and I have a Fedora Core 5 Bible beside me. I mostly want to check my Methodology is correct before I try and Add Spam Assassin to this box. Also this may Provide some help to others treading the path behind me.

Just so you are aware I am Using Fetchmail to Grab the mail from an External Server and deliver it into My Scalix Boxes SMTP Queue.

OK. So the Methodology:

Step One. Ensure I have Spam Assassin installed on the Fedora 5 Box - This comes standard, I have it but currently not configured to run. In Order to confirm I had it I just typed yum install spamass* and the box downloaded everything to do with SpamAssassin

Step 2
Edit the smtpd.conf file
The Scalix manual lists this as liivng in the ~/sys/smtpd.cfg directory. It wasnt there for me but I located it in /var/opt/scalix/cs/s/sys/smtpd.cfg and a brief look through the forum seems to suggest that this is the same file.
According to the manual, Copy the file first (So you can get bck if you screw it up)

cp /var/opt/scalix/cs/s/sys/smtpd.cfg /var/opt/scalix/cs/s/sys/smtpd.cfg.orig

Then open it in vi and add the line
SMTPFILTER=TRUE above the line RELAY accept 127.0.0.1
Save the file

Step 3
Edit the sendmail.cf file
Heres where I get Confused. When you open the sendmail.cf file up near the top is the following line:
######################################################################
#####
##### DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! Only edit the source .mc file.
#####
######################################################################

Now There are a bunch of lines to add to the Sendmail.cf file that ar listed on Page 34 of the Scalix Server Setup Guide, but due to the Information above do I enter them into the sendmail.cf file or the sendmail.mc file?

Any Help would be appreciated.

Hi!

Here is what you can do:
1. Edit sendmail.mc file.
2. Take backup of current sendmail.cf file.
3. Create a sendmail.cf from the source using the command:

Code: Select all

      m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmailcf

4. Run the command "omsendin" to ensure that the Scalix rules are added back into the
sendmail.cf file.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
