Kam, I am still a bit puzzled with what I should do. I have seen the
README file inside your attachment, and it mentions Sendmail several
times. But it does not mention Postfix. Is it possible to install
Mimedefang and BeggarMail with Postfix? I have read that Postfix aims
to be an alternative to Sendmail. But for me, that never installed
either, it is a doubt if this is possible. And if it isn't, the
discussion may become offtopic to this list.
Postfix supports the milter specification and can be used with
MIMEDefang. Apologies if the README is confusing. Treat then as
interchangeable.
I have also downloaded Mimedefang and read some of its documentation. It seems
very flexible with its install and work directories - which is something I will
surely use. Before I play with Mimedefang, should I set up a working mail
server with Postfix? Or with Sendmail? Please tell, if you know.
You can use either. The milter specification was invented by sendmail
so likely I slip into saying sendmail. But I've used sendmail and
postfix without technical concern. Typically it becomes a question of
licensing.
You mentioned that you cannot give the source for the interface you use. May I
ask: what is the reason for that? No problem, an interface is something that
should not be too hard for me. But how exactly you do it?
It has commercial code and graphics we didn't license for distribution.
Plus I didn't feel it appropriate to bring up licensing on the postfix
list. And as you said, I didn't feel a UI was a big deal to implement.
