I made a complete new chroot installation built mimedefang for stable on a stable from the testing release, installed it, installed sendmail, and was done. Sent some mail and it came out alright.
It works for me. I did a complete install from scratch to finish. http://www.cs.montana.edu/faq/faqw.admin.py?query=mimedefang&querytype=simple&casefold=yes&req=search Here are my headers: by PROTECTED.cs.montana.edu (8.12.3/8.12.3/Debian-6.6) id Date: Fri, 26 Dec 2003 02:37:40 GMT From: root <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-MyHeader: A nice piece of text X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.38 After you install sendmail, mimedefang you then need to go read /usr/share/mimedefang/Readme.debian and it will tell you the last 2 things you need to do, which involve editing sendmail.mc. You also need to run sendmailconfig. You also need to install spamassassin, if you want to use that. -- --Luke CS Sysadmin, Montana State University-Bozeman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
