[Mimedefang] Installing on FreeBSD

Hi,
Ok but this basically sucks. I'm sure I should be installing from ports.
But
I don't seem to be able to do that, and I do know how to install source
files.
When I try to do a pkg_add to install the mimedefang port that I've
downloaded from freebsd.org, I get this:
radius# pkg_add -r mimedefang.tar.gz
Error: FTP Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4
-stable/Latest/mimedefang.tar.gz.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not
found, no
access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch
`ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-
4-stable/Latest/mimedefang.tar.gz.tgz' by URL
So I moved the tarball over to /usr/ports/distfiles, extracted it and ran
make. That resulted in:
radius# more distinfo
MD5 (mimedefang-2.51.tar.gz) = 9c4df4ec349e414f893c940ff563bea5
SIZE (mimedefang-2.51.tar.gz) = 302006
radius# make
"Makefile", line 53: Malformed conditional (${PERL_LEVEL} < 500601)
"Makefile", line 53: Need an operator
"Makefile", line 55: if-less endif
"Makefile", line 55: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
At this rate it'll be forever before I get mimedefang installed and in the
meantime I have customers upset because they are receiving unacceptable
levels of spam. Surely someone can help me out with installing mimedefang
from source and getting this sendmail stuff I have questions about working.
Of course, if someone wants to tell me what I'm doing wrong in trying to
install this as a package and howe to do it right, that would be OK too :-)
I'm going to CC this to the FreeBSD list in case someone on that list
might
be able to help.
Thanks,
Lisa Casey
