FreeBSD install from pkg; is it running?

2004-08-30 by William F. Dudley Jr.

Hi,

I installed milter-greylist 1.5.6 from the FreeBSD package.
System is: FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE.

Added to /etc/rc.conf:
miltergreylist_enable="YES"
miltergreylist_flags="${miltergreylist_flags} -v"

Customized /usr/local/etc/mail/greylist.conf appropriately.

Added this to sendmail.mc:
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`greylist', `S=local:/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock')
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_CONNECT', `j, {if_addr}')
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_HELO', `{verify}, {cert_subject}')
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_ENVFROM', `i, {auth_authen}')

rebuilt sendmail.cf and restarted sendmail ("make restart").

started greylist-milter by running:
"/usr/local/etc/rc.d/milter-greylist.sh start"

Both milter daemons are running as shown by "ps ax":
  218  ??  Ss     3:24.97 /usr/local/sbin/clamav-milter --postmaster-only --local --outgoing --max-children=50 /var/run/clamav/clmilter.sock
  43202  ??  Ss     0:07.33 /usr/local/bin/milter-greylist -P /var/run/milter-greylist.pid -f /usr/local/etc/mail/greylist.conf -p /var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock -u smmsp -v

Tailing /var/log/maillog show no messages indicating greylist is functioning.

I have clamav milter running, so I know I can get milters
to run successfully.  I've got various black-holes configured and working
in my sendmail.mc file as well, but I'm not the kind of guy that hacks
sendmail.cf directly.  That way lies madness, I'm told.

(clamav-milter enters messages in maillog when it does it's thing,
plus puts a couple of lines in the message header.)

Mail is still being sent and received normally.  Spam is being rejected by
black holes or else is delivered if not listed.

Questions:
1. Did I miss something?
2. Where next to debug?

Thanks in advance,
Bill Dudley
