MIMEDefang on FreeBSD – The Discovery
January 17th, 2007

First stab at MIMEDefang on a FreeBSD box. The server is an older Dell PowerEdge 2650 that was loaded with base FreeBSD 6.1 about two months ago. I just updated to FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE yesterday without a hitch. Also, ports are up to date and portupgrade was run.
The following sources were used for information:
My process:
- Install Perl
- cd /usr/ports/perl5.8
- make
- make install
- Received error that perl-5.8.8 was already installed (oops)
- make clean
- Sendmail is installed
- Version 8.13.8
- Verify that milter support is compiled
- sendmail -Ac -d0.1 -bv root
- Install ClamAV
- Version 0.88.7
- cd /usr/ports/security/clamav
- make
- make install
- Error message that clam was already installed
- make deinstall
- make reinstall
- Install MIMEDefang
- Version 2.58
- cd /usr/ports/mail/mimedefang
- make
- Error again
Basically, I’ve hosed this up by doing some binary package installation previously, it would appear. Brain fade.
What now? Flatten the box? Looks like I installed clam, mysql, perl, and mimedefang previously.
No, apparently this isn’t all that bad. Think I’ll just work with what’s there for now.
