I made some notes for myself last time I installed the combo you mention. Maybe you can use some of it, maybe you can't. The patch I refer to is a slightly edited version of the courier patch that is included in the amavisd-new Debian package. I had to slighty adjust the pacth here and there - otherwise it would not apply cleanly (maybe this has changed since I did my install?). I hope to have gotten everything written down, but I haven't yet followed/verified my written down instructions myself yet, so there may in fact be bits of pieces missing in this 'recipe'. Anyhow, here goes: # Install amavisd-new with all dependencies sudo apt-get install amavisd-new update-rc.d -f amavis remove update-rc.d amavis defaults 21 21 # Now fetch sources, courier patch, and rebuild sudo apt-get source amavisd-new sudo apt-get build-dep amavisd-new chown -R frederik:frederik amavisd-new* (as root) cd amavisd-new-20030616p10 cp debian/etc/amavisd.conf . wget \ http://sentinel.dk/linux/debian/patches/amavisd-new-courier-debian.patch cat amavisd-new-courier-debian.patch | patch -p0 cp amavisd.conf debian/etc/amavisd.conf dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc # Install new patched package to replace the unpatched one sudo dpkg -i amavisd-new_20030616p10-3_all.deb ## Configuration notes # Run amavisd-new via manual start/stop (and not via courierfilter). # In amavisd.conf: $mydomain = 'sentinel.dk'; $daemon_user = 'amavis'; $daemon_group = 'daemon'; $pid_file = "/var/run/amavis/amavisd.pid"; $lock_file = "/var/run/amavis/amavisd.lock"; $forward_method = undef; $notify_method = 'pipe:flags=q argv=/usr/sbin/sendmail -f \ ${sender} -- ${recipient}'; $unix_socketname = "/var/lib/courier/allfilters/amavisd"; $unix_socket_protocol = 'courier'; # Set various file ownership and permissions. touch /var/log/amavis.log chown amavis:daemon /var/log/amavis.log chmod 640 /var/log/amavis.log chown -R amavis:daemon /var/lib/amavis find /var/lib/amavis -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \; find /var/lib/amavis -type f -exec chmod 640 {} \; # Activate amavisd-new as a filter through courierfilter/filterctl. ln -sf /usr/sbin/amavisd-new /usr/lib/courier/filters/amavisd chmod 755 /var/lib/courier/allfilters # Ensure that /etc/courier/enablefiltering exists and contains "esmtp". # This is default for Debian installations, btw. # Restart amavisd-new /etc/init.d/amavis restart # If clamav is not already member of secondary groups daemon and # amavis, add it manually and restart clamav for changes to take effect. adduser clamav daemon adduser clamav amavis /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon restart SpamAssassin notes at: http://www.sentinel.dk/cookbook/?SpamAssassin_with_Courier B/R, -- Frederik Dannemare | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=Frederik+Dannemare http://frederik.dannemare.net | http://www.linuxworlddomination.dk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
