freebsd-ports/mail/MailScanner-devel/files

The MailScanner port is using the original MailScanner tarball from 
www.mailscanner.info. This tarball puts all the MailScanner files in 
subdirectories

bin	MailScanner binary / MailScanner start script etc.
etc	MailScanner config files / rules / report templates
lib	Virus wrapper and autoupdate scripts / MailScanner Perl libraries
docs	Documentation
var	pid file

In order to make this FreeBSD compliant the port installs those files
in the following directories:

/usr/local/libexec/MailScanner	MailScanner binary, virus wrapper/autoupdate
/usr/local/lib/MailScanner	MailScanner Perl libraries
/usr/local/share/MailScanner	MailScanner report templates
/usr/local/share/doc/MailScanner	Documentation
/usr/local/etc/MailScanner	MailScanner config files / rules
/usr/local/etc/rc.d		start/stop scripts

The port installs two start/stop scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d:

mailscanner.sh.sample
mta.sh.sample

My suggestion is to use these scripts instead of the usual FreeBSD MTA startup
process. This of course means that you will have to disable MTA startup 
in rc.conf completely. Put this in your rc.conf:

sendmail_enable="NO"

Then adjust sendmail.sh or exim.sh to your configuration. Have a look at the
MailScanner manpage for MTA setup hints.

When upgrading the port it will try to look for new options/variables in
MailScanner.conf using Julians upgrade_MailScanner_conf script. If it finds
changes it will create a newly merged MailScanner.conf and copy it to
/usr/local/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf.new.PORTVERSION.


If you have suggestions for this port please let me know and drop me an e-mail at
