Hi,
Ok but this basically sucks. I'm sure I should be installing from ports. But
I don't seem to be able to do that, and I do know how to install source
files.
When I try to do a pkg_add to install the mimedefang port that I've
downloaded from freebsd.org, I get this:
radius# pkg_add -r mimedefang.tar.gz
Error: FTP Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4
-stable/Latest/mimedefang.tar.gz.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not
found, no
access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch
`ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-
4-stable/Latest/mimedefang.tar.gz.tgz' by URL
So I moved the tarball over to /usr/ports/distfiles, extracted it and ran
make. That resulted in:
radius# more distinfo
MD5 (mimedefang-2.51.tar.gz) = 9c4df4ec349e414f893c940ff563bea5
SIZE (mimedefang-2.51.tar.gz) = 302006
radius# make
Makefile, line 53: Malformed conditional (${PERL_LEVEL} 500601)
Makefile, line 53: Need an operator
Makefile, line 55: if-less endif
Makefile, line 55: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
At this rate it'll be forever before I get mimedefang installed and in the
meantime I have customers upset because they are receiving unacceptable
levels of spam. Surely someone can help me out with installing mimedefang
from source and getting this sendmail stuff I have questions about working.
Of course, if someone wants to tell me what I'm doing wrong in trying to
install this as a package and howe to do it right, that would be OK too :-)
I'm going to CC this to the FreeBSD list in case someone on that list might
be able to help.
Thanks,
Lisa Casey

Hi,
I need to install Mimedefang on a FreeBSD 4.6 system as the Redhat
system I was running my mail server on crashed. I've upgraded perl to
5.8.6 (it was 5.001 or something like that) and installed the
necessary perl modules for mimedefang. I have a couple of questions
though about installing on FreeBSD (this is different from the way my
Red Hat system was).
I have Sendmail 8.13 on here. According to the Mimedefang instructions
I need to make sure I have a queue runner. Does anyone know if
Sendmail 8.13 will do this automatically? In the mimedefang
instructions I was reading it said to do this by adding sendmail -Ac
-qp5m to the init script for Sendmail. On my Red Hat system this was
in /etc/init.d. I can't find where I should specify this on FreeBSD.
When I installed my radius server on this FreeBSD system, I put the
init script for it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d (there's no sendmail script
therre). Is this where I should put my mimedefang init script? How
will I know if this stops starts mimedefang at the right times? I
believe mimedefang should start up after Sendmail does and should be
stopped before Sendmail is.
Thanks,
Lisa Casey
Hi lisa,
You should use the port system to install it on freeBSD, think of it
like the rpm for redhat... :)

Ghislain.
