The install for NIX* is very straightforward. It simply copies the files into place. From
there you will need to create the links to get MailScanner to start at boot.
Requirements: perl, perldoc, curl, and network access if you want to install missing Perl modules
via CPAN.
Important files to note:
/etc/MailScanner/defaults
This file contains the system level settings for MailScanner. You will need to edit this file
and at a minimum set run_mailscanner=1 for the daemon to start.
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
The main configuration file for MailScanner's engine. You will also need to customize this file.
/var/lib/MailScanner/init/ms-init
This is the initialization script for MailScanner. This is the script you would symlink to control
MailScanner using start/stop/restart/reload/kill.
/usr/sbin/ms-perl-check
This executable will tell you what Perl modules you are missing, if any.
/usr/sbin/ms-*
Many MailScanner executables. Most are self explanatory from the name alone.
