Hello Dave, /etc/mailscanner is artifact from stable. try 'dpkg -s /etc/mailscanner/mailscanner.conf' to verify package ownership, then 'dpkg --purge mailscanner' to rid yourself of it. Note that this will also remove any later versions, like your current testing package.
Now, for the backport. The mailscanner 4.26.7 debian testing/unstable needs a bit more magic than prior versions for backporting, as pulls some ucf magic that doesn't work on stable's version of ucf. Luckly, this can all be worked around by making package changes. Use the debian/rules and debian/control files appended below the signature, and you should be off to the races. Other little details on how I build my backports for mailscanner: apt-get -t unstable source mailscanner (/etc/apt/sources.list has stable deb sources, and unstable deb-src entries) cd mailscanner-4.26.7 dch -i vi debian/rules vi debian/control make -f debian/rules clean make -f debian/rules binary If all goes well, you'll have a much happier mailscanner package. Edit /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf, then /etc/default/mailscanner prior to starting. You will also need a backport of libnet-cidr-perl-0.09 for MailScanner 4.26.7 to work. It also needs some magic in debian/rules and debian/control. You could get this using CPAN, but that defeats the purpose of a package management system. I can't help you with the webmin plugin as I hit the configuration files directly, but I'll assume that you'll need it's testing/unstable equivalent. You'll also want to ensure that 'Notify Senders = no' in MailScanner.conf. The package and upstream have this set to 'yes', which is a *major* source of spam. I've filed a bug report with the package maintainer to have this defaulted to 'no', but I'm unsure if he'll act on it. Finally, if you use sendmail, you'll need to setup two daemons, one to send the inbound mail through to a queue directory for MailScanner, and another to deliver once mailscanner is done. See the sendmail start script below. Good luck, feel free to contact me if you have any other issues. -- Martin Foster Phone: +61 3 9674 7500 Systems Engineer P A C I F I C Fax: +61 3 9698 4959 Pacific Internet (Australia) I N T E R N E T http://www.pacific.net.au/ NASDAQ: PCNTF ---[MailScanner debian/rules]-------------------------- #!/usr/bin/make -f #

It uses sendmail or Exim as its basis, and a choice of 17 commercial virus scanning engines to do the actual virus scanning. It can decode and scan attachments intended solely for Microsoft Outlook users (MS-TNEF). If possible, it will disinfect infected documents and deliver them automatically. It also has features which protect it against Denial Of Service attacks.
