todd 67e704c90d import MailScanner 4.66.5-3, a virus/spam scanning framework
MailScanner is a complete e-mail security system designed for use on
e-mail gateways. It protects against viruses, and detects attacks
against e-mail client packages (such as Outlook, Outlook Express,
Eudora). It can also detect almost all unsolicited commercial e-mail
(spam) passing through it and respond to all incidents in a wide variety
of ways.

..see http://www.mailscanner.info/ for more details.

I have included a generic spam scanner that if enabled uses dspam, as an
alternative to SpamAssassin.

Thanks to Brad Smith for helping get this ready for import.  This has been
a few years in the making.

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 OpenBSD 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/share/examples/MailScanner Example files
/etc/MailScanner MailScanner config files / rules
To activate this port, you must do the following for sendmail:
1. Set the following in your sendmail.mc file:
define(`confDELIVER_MODE',`queue')
define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS',`noetrn')
(if you do not have a sendmail.mc file, use
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/openbsd-proto.mc)
and regenerate your sendmail.cf
(if you do not know how, try:
m4 /usr/share/sendmail/m4/cf.m4 sendmail.mc > test.cf
)
2. Put the following line in /etc/rc.conf.local:
sendmail_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in"
3. Add the following to /etc/rc.local:
# MailScanner
if [ -x /usr/sbin/sendmail ]; then
echo -n ' sm-mta-queue'; /usr/sbin/sendmail -q30s -L sm-mta-queue
fi
# MailScanner outbound queue
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/check_mailscanner ]; then
echo -n ' MailScanner'; /usr/local/bin/check_mailscanner
fi
4. Add the following to root's crontab:
# Check the status of MailScanner every hour
0 * * * * /usr/local/bin/check_mailscanner -q
