Post-installation steps
=======================
Register the mimedefang milter with sendmail(8) by adding the following
to your .mc file:
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang', \
`S=local:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, \
F=T, T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')dnl
Then re-generate your .cf file.
When using administrator notifications, it is advised to add the
"_mdefang" user to the list of users that are allowed to set their
envelope "from" address to a different user. This is done in:
/etc/mail/trusted-user
Improving performance
---------------------
On a busy mail server, it is advised to have the spool directory in
virtual memory (i.e. ramdisk). This can be achieve by adding the
following line to fstab(5):
swap /var/spool/MIMEDefang mfs rw,nodev,nosuid,noatime,-s=512000 0 0
This will create a 256M mfs(8) filesystem under /var/spool/MIMEDefang.
SpamAssassin
------------
SpamAssassin can be used my mimedefang(8) in which case some maintenance
tasks are required and cron(8) jobs must be setup in root's crontab(5):
- Automating SpamAssassin rule updates:
0 0 * * * PATH=${PATH}:${LOCALBASE}/bin; ${LOCALBASE}/bin/sa-update && ${RCDIR}/mimedefang_multiplexor reload >/dev/null
- Synchronizing the journal data into the Bayes databases:
30 0 * * * PATH=${PATH}:${LOCALBASE}/bin; su -s /bin/sh _mdefang -c "${LOCALBASE}/bin/sa-learn --force-expire >/dev/null"
IP validation header
====================
To retain relay's IP address information between Mail eXchangers, an
identical ${SYSCONFDIR}/mail/mimedefang-ip-key must be installed on all
relays. The content of this file is generated using:
# ${PREFIX}/share/examples/gen-ip-validator.pl
Start-up order
==============
Be sure to start mimedefang_multiplexor before mimedefang in rc.local(8).
