Been using sendmail-clamav-mimedefang-greylist combo for years and have never had a problem.
Standard package: sendmail-devel-8.13.8-2.el5 sendmail-cf-8.13.8-2.el5 sendmail-doc-8.13.8-2.el5 sendmail-8.13.8-2.el5
From rpmforge:
mimedefang.2.68-1.el5 clamd-0.96-2.el5 clamav-0.96-2.el5 clamav-milter-0.96-2.el5 milter-greylist.3.0-2.el5
The important settings to get this to work:
sendmail.mc: INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`greylist', `S=local:/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock, F=T, T=S:3m;R:3m') INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang', `S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock, F=T, T=S:3m;R:3m') INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clamav',`S=local:/var/clamav/clamav_milter.sock, F=T, T=S:4m;R:4m')dnl
clamav-milter.conf: MilterSocket unix:/var/clamav/clamav_milter.sock
clamd.conf: LocalSocket /var/clamav/clamd_local.sock
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mimedefang: SPOOLDIR='/var/spool/MIMEDefang' SOCKET=${SOCKET:=$SPOOLDIR/$prog.sock}
/etc/mail/greylist.conf: socket "/var/milter-greylist/milter-greylist.sock"
As for the secondary MX (on a different host) running the same OS just copy ALL the config, its that easy. However, on the PRIMARY host you need to make sure that the SECONDARY MX has access to hand over mail.

Hello all,
About a year ago I set up a mail server on CentOS using this howto: http://wanderingbarque.com/howtos/mailserver/mailserver.html I managed to add amavisd-new with clamav and spamassassin. It runs very well, but it runs on CentOS 5.2, and if I try to upgrade, amavisd-new and clamav break. we are now also at the point where a backup mx will need to be implemented.
If necessary I am willing to implement a new mail server and a new backup mx.
What I would like to know is what solution you guys would recommend for the mail server and the backup MX?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
