Hi.

 

I have MailScanner, SpamAssassin and ClamAv running under BlueOnyx.

Have a good read around the web but I did the following (according to my
notes so it may not all be correct).

 

First, I am no Linux Guru and probably never will be. I have used linux for
about 2 years but still learning myself.

 

Get mailscanner and FTP it to your server and connect with an SSH session.

You can always use WGET and pull it directly to the server

 

I put all my files to install under /Root/MAKE/MailScanner etc so I can find
all the source stuff easily.

 

I downloaded a tar version so had to uninstall it with

 

tar zxf filename

 

Some of the filenames are tricky; do you know the TAB trick?

If you type tar zxf MailS then press the TAB key, bash will complete the
line for you! (Assuming you have a file which starts MailS)

This works pretty much throughout the whole of the shell for all commands
and file names and paths.

 

For mailscanner you need the following modules so load them

 

yum install patch gcc rpm-build

 

nano /etc/sysconfig/i18n            take out _US.UTF-8 from the language bit
so it reads the same as the line above (from memory)

Save the file

 

./install.sh         to load MailScanner

 

Now go take a short holiday while you wait for it to load.

Ignore the errors just let it keep going for a long while

 

service sendmail stop

service MailScanner start

 

MailScanner should now work

 

CLAMAV

 

Download file to /Root/MAKE/xxxxx

Extract the archive

 

yum install zlib zlib-devel bzip2 bzip2-devel

groupadd clamav

useradd -g clamav -s /bin/false -c "Clam Antivirus" clamav

 

./configure sysconfigdir=/etc

make

su -c "make install"

 

Now 

 

nano /etc/clamd.conf

Add # to the start of line 1

save file

clamd

 

setup freshclam (for virus update)

 

touch /var/log/freshclam.log

chmod 600 /var/log/freshclam.log

chown clamav /var/log/freshclam.log

nano /etc/freshclam.conf

 

Make Sure that the UpdateLogFile points to /etc/freshclam.log usually does

Think the first line also needs a # at the front to allow the file to run

Save

 

Now run

 

freshclam -d

 

cd /etc/cron_hourly

nano clamav

add this to the file

/usr/local/bin/freshclam -quiet -l /var/log/freshclam.log

save

chmod the file to 0755

 

This should now update virus defs every hour

 

Then, yum install spamassassin

 

Mailscanner files go in               /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf

You may need to change in virus section to use ClamAV its easy then

Service MailScanner restart

 

Spamassassin files /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf

And

/etc/mail/spamassassin

 

 

Like I said, I just typed this in from my note book but it should work.

Look out for caps at the start of the lines etc (stupid outlook).

 

Any problems feel free to email me and I will try to help.

I am no linux guru and although I have a few years behind we, would not
profess to be an expert at all.
