[Mimedefang] mimedefang not scanning

[Andrew Jayes]

Ok, check one done I do have the milter compiled. 

	"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."

How do I ensure that the filter logs the messages? And where is the maillog for sendmail located, and just in case, is the message from the filter an obvious "yea this went through the filter"

As for the code, I have seen it work on a different machine I setup some months back and I am positive it's the same.

Cheers,

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.
