Question about installing SPF
All,

I am in the process of building a few new mail servers
and want to include SPF. I am using SuSE's latest 9.1 Pro
distro and would like to use their RPM-based Sendmail
rather than compiling my own, however I don't know if they
build in Milter support. Is there a command I can run,
or a file that I can look at to see if Milter support was
compiled in?

Also, I am having a hard time finding/building the following
Perl modules:

POSIX - There are a few listed
Socket - There are a few listed
Getopt - There are a few listed
Errno - This is 6 years old and doesn't compile

Can anyone offer any assistance? I would greatly appreciate
it!

Thanks :-)

Have you tried just to build a sendmail.cf with the milter options in
there and see if it worked? I can't think of another way of finding out
really, but that may be because it is late and i'm tired atm..

You _did_ check cpan (http://search.cpan.org/) ?? Most of these modules
are from april 21st 2004.

Hope this helps!

RE: Question about installing SPF [ In reply to ]
Actually,

I looked through the modules.cpan.org file listing and
didn't search for them. Great idea! I will give that
a try.

Thanks :-)

RE: Question about installing SPF [ In reply to ]
Looking further, I found the following the socket-1.5
module is 6 years old as well. It doesn't compile, as
Errno does not either. (All of the other modules compiled
and installed without the hint of a problem.)

In regards to socket and getopt, which exact module do
I add? There are numerous ones listed.

Thanks :-)

Re: Question about installing SPF [ In reply to ]
Hi Again,

I think for Socket you'd want to use
http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.4/ext/Socket/Socket.pm, which
is from 21 april 2004.

As far as getopt goes, there are indeed a lot of them. I don't really
know which one to pick, but I suspect this is part of your standard perl
installation. Try something like:

[gmc@dave 5.8.1]$ cd /usr/lib/perl5/
[gmc@dave perl5]$ find | grep Getopt
./5.8.1/Getopt
./5.8.1/Getopt/Long
./5.8.1/Getopt/Long.pm
./5.8.1/Getopt/Std.pm

Did you know btw, that 'perl -MCPAN -e "install Socket"' for example
installs the appropriate socket module?

Re: Question about installing SPF [ In reply to ]
Let me add to that:

For getopt you could use the latest Getopt::Std and Getopt::Long i
believe.
