 Identify user and group
 # ls ‐ld /var/spool/mqueue
 drwxr‐s‐‐‐ 2 smmta smmsp 4096 2007‐01‐29 14:29 /var/spool/mqueue

 Create the 2nd queue and set it to the same ownership and permission as /var/spool/mqueue
 # mkdir /var/spool/mqueue.in
 # chown –R smmta:smmsp /var/spool/mqueue.in

 Configure Sendmail to run in a separate listener/queue runner mode
 # vi /etc/mail/sendmail.conf
 Change
 DAEMON=””;
 To
 DAEMON_PARMS="‐OPrivacyOptions=noetrn ‐ODeliveryMode=queueonly ‐OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in";

 Regenerate /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
 # sendmailconfig

 Install ClamAV

 Install SpamAssassin

 Enable SpammAssassin
 # vi /etc/default/spamassassin

 Install MailScanner

 Configure MailScanner
 # vi /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
 Change %org‐name% to your name

 Run As User = smmta
 Run As Group = smmsp
 Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/mqueue.in
 Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/mqueue

 Virus Scanner = clamav

 Enable MailScanner
 # vi /etc/default/mailscanner
 Uncomment run_mailscanner=1

 Set the following folders the same ownership and permission as /var/spool/mqueue
 # chown –R smmta:smmsp /var/spool/MailScanner
 # chown –R smmta:smmsp /var/lib/MailScanner
 # chown –R smmta:smmsp /var/run/MailScanner
