[Mimedefang] mimedefang not scanning

[Paul Murphy]

Andrew,

Ensure that Sendmail is compiled with Milter support using:

sendmail -d0.1 -bt < /dev/null

At the top of the output, you should see something like the following:

Version 8.12.11
 Compiled with: DNSMAP LDAPMAP LOG MAP_REGEX MATCHGECOS MILTER MIME7TO8
                MIME8TO7 NAMED_BIND NETINET NETINET6 NETUNIX NEWDB NIS NISPLUS
                PIPELINING SASLv2 SCANF STARTTLS TCPWRAPPERS USERDB
                USE_LDAP_INIT XDEBUG

If the MILTER entry is missing, sort out Sendmail so that it includes milter
support - search the Mimedefang mailing list archives for details.

Also ensure that your filter logs all messages, and then check that in your mail
log you do indeed get a message from the filter.  If the messages are being
logged by the filter, check that your header addition code is actually being
called.

Best Wishes,

Paul.
