MIMEDefang + Sendmail on Fedora

This describes how to install the MIMEDefang milter and integrate it with Sendmail and Scalix 11 on Fedora Core 7 (haven't tested on any other platforms yet.

• • Note**: this does not describe how to modify or otherwise get MIMEDefang running.

1) Install the MIMEDefang milter (it is included in FC7 repositories by default):

yum install mimedefang (if you want/need to try and install mimedefang without using yum, then visit MIMEDefang's website to download and see instructions)

2) start the mimedefang service:

service mimedefang start

(you might want to make that happen on boot up: chkconfig mimedefang on)

3) edit the sendmail.mc file:

define(`MILTER', `1')dnl define(`confMILTER_LOG_LEVEL', `6')dnl INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang', `S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, F=T, T=S:1m;R:1m;E:5m')dnl

4) rebuild the sendmail.cf file:

make -C /etc/mail

5) edit your smtpd.cfg file in /var/opt/scalix/NN/s/sys/ (where NN is first and last character in your hostname):

place the following line above the RELAY accept 127.0.0.1 line: SMTPFILTER=TRUE

6) restart sendmail

service sendmail restart

7) restart the smtpd service

omoff -wd 0 smtpd omon smtpd
