[Mimedefang] Sendmail, MIMEDefang and ClamAV

[Chris Gauch]

Just run MIMEDefang as your milter, and set up the clamav.conf file
(generally in /usr/local/etc/) to run under user "defang".  MIMEDefang will
call clamav on its own.  Do not use ClamAV as a milter in sendmail if you're
attempting to run MIMEDefang as the milter.  

This page is an absolute must-read prior to installing/configuring
MIMEDefang for your Linux system.  I strongly recommend this how-to as it'll
walk you through the sendmail and MIMEDefang configuration...

As for startup scripts, clamav and MIMEDefang install startup scripts into
the /etc/init.d/ directory -- you can create links in the rc directory so
that the processes start in a specific order.  Clamav should start first,
then MIMEDefang, then sendmail.
