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.
