Comments on Postfix Spam Filter using Ubuntu Dapper, MailScanner, SpamAssassin, Razor, Pyzor, DCC and ClamAV

Just working my way through this great looking howto and have run into the following issues on page 1. 

1.) Your sources.list references breezy repeatedly despite this being a dapper howto.  I assumed I could just uncomment my dapper repos and install away.

 2.) When running the big apt-get install the following packages could not be found: unarj, unrar, and lha.  I just skipped them so hopefully it does not matter too much.

3.) There is no pcmcia under init.d in my install but there is a pcmciautils.  Should I be shutting down and removing that instead?

4.) There is no inetd in /etc/init.d on my system for me to restart.

Everything seems to be working ok so far though so I am forging ahead with the install.

Ok thanks. Any help is appreciated, when I have a chance I will update.

When trying to install the long list of software packages in section 1.5, if there's a problem with one package, none will install.  I found that it was easier to install 4 or 5 packages at a time.

Good point. I need to do some more testing because I know some of the packages don't install with the repositories. That's why I made sure to put 'BETA' in the title :) ...

For those that are trying the install... I will be updating the documentation next week. I finally got all of the kinks worked out of my system and it's working fine. I have seen many posts regarding MailScanner+Postfix comments that say it is not recommended. I have not had any problems but like some posts say, updating either MailScanner or Postfix could be risky affair so fair warning. I'm willing to take the gamble because Postfix + MailScanner are the best in their respective fields I think (especially once MailScanner-MRTG is working). The graphs make it all worth it.

In any case if anyone runs into any snags just let me know through here or the forums and I will try to help out the best I can. Speaking of forums I'll have to hit those today just in case. Have not looked at them yet.

Excellent guide for the most part but there are some things that have me confused. You mention this will use mailscanner instead of Amavis, but page 4 references the amavis user accounts.

Also, there doesn't seem to be anypoint where either of those programs actually get installed.

Am I missing it?

Been busy, have not finished this howto. I should have posted it when it was finished sorry.

The title mentions that this howto installs ClamAV, in which step is it installed or is this part missing yet?

Page 4 has it.

I've set this up on dapper and now on eft. I've found on both that unrar, and lha are no longer on the reps for download. As alternatives, I have used unp & unrar-free which seem to work fine.

I just tried to install on Ubuntu 11.04 and the installation fails on the line:

apt-get install libc6-dev dpkg-dev db4.3-util libdb4.3-dev vim lynx bzip2 unzip perl-doc libwww-perl ntp-simple

Result:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.6) but 2.13-0ubuntu13 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

same here. : (

 e: unable to locate package link.
