[opensuse-programming] How to implement a utility to integrate a milter with sendmail?
Hello, I'm developing a utility SNFMilterConfig that integrates an email milter (SNFMilter) with sendmail, and am having difficulty because the file /etc/mail/sendmail.mc doesn't exist on OpenSuse (i.e. isn't part of any package). I'd like to know whether there's a way to automatically integrate a milter with sendmail on OpenSuse. I'm working with OpenSuse 11.0, but would like to support current and recent versions of OpenSuse. I've learned that SuSEconfig is used to configure sendmail by reading /etc/sysconfig/sendmail and creating sendmail.cf from a temporary sendmail.mc file. Although /etc/sysconfig/sendmail is well-commented, I couldn't find any mention of milters. A google search of SuSEconfig turned up the "Unofficial SUSEFAQ" (sysefaq.sourceforge.net/faq/suseconfig.html), "SuSEconfig and /etc/sysconfig" (www.novell.com/documentation/suse91/suselinux-adminguide). These described SuSEconfig, but I couldn't find any info on configuring a milter. My search of the OpenSuse forums and help portal wasn't fruitful. SNFMilterConfig integrates the milter with postfix by modifying the /etc/postfix/main.cf file (which is part of the postfix package). Is there an analogous configuration file for sendmail that SNFMilterConfig can modify to integrate the milter? I'd appreciate any suggestions and references. Please also let me know if there is another more appropriate list for this issue.

There really isn't anything specific to openSUSE about using or integrating a milter. You just need to integrate the milter with Postfix - the MTA used on openSUSE [and generally every modern distribution]. sendmail.mc is part of the M4 based configuration mechanism for the sendmail MTA - which is rarely used anymore. Just lookup Postfix & Milters. -- Adam Tauno Williams GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-programming+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-programming+owner@opensuse.org
