The following instructions spell out how to manually install Qmail-Scanner on your system. Simply run ./configure as normal without the "--install" option, and then:
mkdir -p /var/spool/qscan mkdir -p /var/spool/qscan/quarantine/viruses/tmp /var/spool/qscan/quarantine/viruses/cur /var/spool/qscan/quarantine/viruses/new mkdir -p /var/spool/qscan/quarantine/spam/tmp /var/spool/qscan/quarantine/spam/cur /var/spool/qscan/quarantine/spam/new mkdir -p /var/spool/qscan/quarantine/policy/tmp /var/spool/qscan/quarantine/policy/cur /var/spool/qscan/quarantine/policy/new mkdir -p /var/spool/qscan/working/tmp /var/spool/qscan/working/cur /var/spool/qscan/working/new mkdir -p /var/spool/qscan/archive/tmp /var/spool/qscan/archive/cur /var/spool/qscan/archive/new cp quarantine-events.txt /var/spool/qscan/ chown -R qscand:qscand /var/spool/qscan/ cp qmail-scanner-queue.pl /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl chown qscand:qscand /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl chmod 4755 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl #(i.e same perms as qmail-queue, but owned by qscand instead of qmailq) #run "/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl -h" to view the few command-line options there are /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl -z # to initialize the version file. /var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl -g #to initialize the perlscanner database. |
After this is done - as with the automated install - you will have to alter your system's Qmail startup scripts (e.g. /service/smtpd/run or /etc/tcpcontrol/smtp.rules) to call QMAILQUEUE as documented.
If you are wanting to run Qmail-Scanner without the QMAILQUEUE patch, then you're in (almost) unsupported territory as the number of possible problems increases dramatically. Anyway, if you are interested, you should generate the qmail-scanner-queue.pl program with a few different options (see "./configure --help" for details). What follows is an example only:
./configure --debug yes --admin me --domain my.domain --notify psender,nmlvadm \ --log-details syslog --unzip yes --no-QQ-check \ --qmail-queue-binary /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.real |
This contains two options not normally used: the "--no-QQ-check" and "--qmail-queue-binary" options. The first stops ./configure checking for the presence of the QMAILQUEUE patch, and the second tells Qmail-Scanner where the "real" Qmail qmail-queue binary is. In this case it is moved to /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue.real. Once this is done, the resulting qmail-scanner-queue.pl program can be copied onto /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue. But be careful - infinite loop territory...
