#
# What you need: amavis-sa-clamav-suse91-i586.tgz
# Where is file: /var/warehouse/MercE/mods/amavis_clam_spam/ on apps
# Assumption : 1. You have an account `junkmail'
#

• Stop amavis and sendmail-rx using following commands,

  # /etc/init.d/amavis stop
  # /etc/init.d/sendmail-rx stop

  Verify that amavis and sendmail-rx is not listening using telnet.

• Take backup of /etc/amavisd.conf if any using RCS
• uninstall amavis, spamassassin, clamav, perl-spamassassin packages
  using following command,

  # rpm -e _package_name_

  You can get exact package name using `rpm -qa | grep -i _package_name_'

  example: If I want to see version of amavis installed,

  # rpm -qa | grep -i amavis

  Then we can erase amavis using `rpm -e'

• untar amavis-sa-clamav-suse91-i586.tgz using following command,

  # tar -C / -xzvpf amavis-sa-clamav-suse91-i586.tgz

• Edit /etc/amavisd.conf change all fields that contains
  starcomsoftware to respective entries. Also check with
  old /etc/amavisd.conf if any. Let's assume we are
  performing these steps for azbpartners.com following
  will be chagnes to /etc/amavisd.conf,

  $mydomain = 'azbpartners.com';
  $myhostname = 'mail.azbpartners.com'
  $final_spam_destiny = D_DISCARD;
  $spam_quarantine_to = 'junkmail@azbpartners.com';

• Start amavis and sendmail-rx using following command

  # /etc/init.d/amavis start
  # /etc/init.d/sendmail-rx start

  Verify that amavis, sendmail-rx and sendmail are accepting connection
  using telnet.

  1. from local account to other domain eg. gautam@azbpartners.com to gauta@gmail.com
  2. from local account to other local account gautam@azbpartners.com to narayan@azbpartners.com
