Then of course, you require all third party tools you plan to use.. such as razor, SpamAssazin, ClamAV and so on. Those are not included

Installation^

Debian^

Thats easy. Download (below) and dpkg -i them

#> dpkg -i decency-current.deb
#> dpkg -i decency-perl-modules-current_amd64.deb

Compressed archive^

Add user/group^

Add a new user and group which you want to use for decency. Eg:

/usr/sbin/adduser --system --group --home /var/spool/decency --gecos "Decency anti spam" --disabled-password --quiet decency

Install base^

Download the the archives from below, then:

#> tar zxf decency-current.tar.gz
#> cd decency-current/
#> chown decency:decency . -R
#> mkdir -p /opt/decency
#> cp -ra opt/decency /opt/decency

Install perl modules^

If you are a perl programmer, you’ll probably go with cpan i Module and need no further explanation. So i will focus on the non perlers: Download the perl modules archive for your architecture below.

#> tar zxf decency-perl-modules-current-arch.tar.gz
#> cd decency-perl-modules-current-arch/
#> chown decency:decency . -R
#> mkdir -p /opt/decency/locallib
#> cp -ra opt/decency/locallib /opt/decency/locallib

Init scripts^

They are there, but not yet installed. First of link them in your init.d directory:

#> ln -s /opt/decency/bin/init-policy-server /etc/init.d/decency-policy
#> ln -s /opt/decency/bin/init-content-filter-server /etc/init.d/decency-content-filter
#> ln -s /opt/decency/bin/init-log-parser-server /etc/init.d/decency-log-parser

Now update your run-levels, eg like so:

#> update-rc.d decency-policy defaults 24
#> update-rc.d decency-content-filter defaults 24
#> update-rc.d decency-log-parser defaults 24

Make all required directories:

#> mkdir -p /var/spool/decency /opt/decency /var/log/decency /var/run/decency
#> chown -R decency:decency /var/spool/decency /opt/decency /var/log/decency /var/run/decency

And you are done.

Install from CPAN^

Thats the “hardest” way, cause you have to setup all folder structures, write all config files and init scripts. See the configuration for howto do this and install decency from CPAN via:

#> cpan i Mail::Decency

Now find the “decency-server.pl” file in your perllib, and copy it to /opt/decency/bin (or wherever you’ll install decency).

Download^

Currently decency is in testing. The CPAN Modules has been released and all modules run on testing mail servers to figure out as much runtime bugs as possible. The description will be released as i write the . You can download the testing versions here:

• Packed Perl-Modules (CPAN):Mail-Decency-0.1.6.tar.gz
• Compressed installer: decency-0.1.6.tar.gz, decency-perl-modules-0.1.6_amd64.tar.gz
• Experimental Debian Packages: decency-0.1.6_all.deb, decency-perl-modules.0.1.6_amd64.deb
