Bug 23389 – Can't get milter support in amavis

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Pieter De Wit 2003-06-24 10:06:26 UTC]

I can't get amavis to compile with milter support. I have messed around with way
too many files to remember it all :)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Installed sendmail
2.Installed clamav
3.Installed amavis

[Comment 1 Pieter De Wit 2003-06-24 11:06:38 UTC]

I get this error in ./configure of amavis :

checking for libmilter/mfapi.h... yes
checking for smfi_main in -lmilter... no
configure: error: milter requested but not found

Saw this on the amavis.org website :

sendmail

    * MILTER Interface There's a bug within libmilter of eary versions of sendmail 8.12.x. Please ensure you upgrade to the latest version (8.12.6 at time of writing)
    * If ./configure complains about "checking for smfi_main in -lmilter... no
      configure: error: milter requested but not found" although all required libs and header files are installed, your sendmail version has LDAP-support compiled in. So, simply use LDFLAGS="-lldap" ./configure --your switches
    * amavisd-snapshot-20020531 The milter interface is broken, apply the patch and change.
    * (amavisd-snapshot-20020220 and earlier) The socket for the mailer milter-amavis is /var/amavis/amavis-milter.sock, therefore it's
      Xmilter-amavis, S=local:/var/amavis/amavis-milter.sock, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m
      (README.milter is wrong here, but the m4 command mentioned in README.milter is correct)
    * (amavis-perl only) We suggest to use the socket name /var/amavis/amavis-milter.sock (and not /var/amavis/amavis.sock as mentioned in README.milter) to be consistent with amavisd and to avoid confusion :-)
    * amavis-milter runs as root. Is this really needed? Well, it seems not. amavis-milter seems to work quite well if it's running i.e. as user amavis (please see the "Running amavis-milter as non-root user" thread for details)

I also get this error now...


 * Adding user 'amavis' to your system ...
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 400: [: missing `]'
uid=10025(amavis) gid=10025(amavis) groups=10025(amavis)
 * amavis already exists on your system :)

still reproduceable?

[Comment 5 Pieter De Wit 2003-10-24 05:32:30 UTC]

Don't know - switched to clamav :)
