Postfix Cyrus Web cyradm HOWTO

11.4.2. Prerequisites

Amavisd new needs a lot of prerequisites.

Run

perl  MCPAN  e shell

and issue:

install ExtUtils::MakeMaker

install HTML::Parser

install DB_File

install Digest::SHA1

install Archive::Tar

install Archive::Zip

install Compress::Zlib

install Convert::TNEF

install Convert::UUlib

install MIME::Base64

install MIME::Parser

install Mail::Internet

install Mail::SPF::Query

install Net::Server

install Net::SMTP

install Net::DNS

install Digest::MD5

install IO::Stringy

install Time::HiRes

install Unix::Syslog

At the end run

./amavisd

and have a look at overseen prerequisites.

Edit

/etc/amavisd.conf

and change the variables

$daemon_user

to  amavis 

and

$daemon_group

to  amavis . Another variable to change is

$mydomain to

match your domain.

Please also consider to change the default settings for virus and spam mails to avoid

being notified about every intercepted mail

$final_virus_destiny

= D_DISCARD;

# (defaults to D_BOUNCE)

$final_spam_destiny

= D_DISCARD;

# (defaults to D_REJECT)

In the beginning of SPAM filtering I recommend to set the kill value to something

higher until you tweaked the filters. Change the variable

$sa_kill_level_deflt

to 8 or even higher.

11.4.3. Building and installing

cd /usr/local

tar  xvzf amavisd new 20030616 p8.tar.gz
