This is only needed for Sendmail/Milter or Qmail setups. To start scan-mail.pl automatically at boot, find the appropriate scan-mail rc script for your system under /usr/local/f-prot/tools/rc_scripts and copy it to /etc/init.d/scan-mail and then run this command:
/etc/init.d/scan-mail start
and answer the questions it asks you. When you have completed the questionnaire, you can start the system by running the command again:
/etc/init.d/scan-mail start
But to add the scan-mail rc script to your bootsequence, so it gets started automatically at each boot, you need to create links from the runlevel directories to the script.
If you cannot find a suitable rc script for your machine, you must make sure scan-mail.pl is started with the -server commandline option. Make sure scan-mail.pl gets started before sendmail.
