I'm trying to bring up a CentOS box with Postfix and Mimedefang (and clamav, spamassassin, etc).
I installed postfix, and that was fine.
But when I did:
# rpm --test -e sendmail sendmail-cf
error: Failed dependencies:
sendmail-cf >= 8.12.0 is needed by (installed) mimedefang-2.72-2.el6.x86_64
#
Looking at the RPM's sources I see:
URL: http://www.mimedefang.org/
Source0: http://www.mimedefang.org/static/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
Source1: README.FEDORA
Requires: sendmail-cf >= 8.12.0, perl-MailTools >= 1.15, perl(Mail::SpamAssassin) >= 1.6
Requires: perl(IO::Stringy) >= 1.212, perl(MIME::Base64) >= 3.03
Requires(pre): shadow-utils
Requires(post): /sbin/chkconfig, perl(Digest::SHA1)
Requires(preun): /sbin/service, /sbin/chkconfig
Requires(postun): /sbin/service
BuildRequires: sendmail-devel >= 8.12.0, perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker)
BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
>From what I can tell, the sendmail-cf dependency is really a dependency on sendmail being able to call mimedefang, and not at all a dependency that's intrinsic to mimedefang (which is MTA agnostic).
Is this correct?
