If I build spamass-milter from source remove the dep spamassassin and sendmail ( ps milter is a standard it is not sendmail, so how do you know if someone is using sendmail) and just include /usr/bin/spamc I have an rpm of 77k The sendmail dependency is there for support of the "-b" option, which redirects tagged spam to the specified email address. It needs a sendmail binary to do this. The application's configure script looks for this binary at build time and compiles in the path to the binary that it finds. /usr/bin/spamc is part of the spamassassin package so I don't see how changing that dependency would help. Ideally the configure script should look for the binaries at /etc/alternatives/mta-sendmail to use the alternatives mechanism. The "sendmail" dependency is actually "/usr/sbin/sendmail", which on Fedora is provided by any of these packages: $ dnf repoquery --whatprovides /usr/sbin/sendmail esmtp-0:1.2-20.fc37.x86_64 exim-0:4.96-2.fc37.x86_64 exim-0:4.96-6.fc37.x86_64 msmtp-0:1.8.23-2.fc37.x86_64 opensmtpd-0:6.8.0p2-10.fc37.x86_64 opensmtpd-0:6.8.0p2-9.fc37.x86_64 postfix-2:3.7.2-4.fc37.x86_64 postfix-2:3.7.3-1.fc37.x86_64 sendmail-0:8.17.1-6.fc37.x86_64 sendmail-0:8.17.1-7.fc37.x86_64 sendmail-0:8.17.2-1.0.cf.fc37.x86_64 ssmtp-0:2.64-30.fc37.x86_64 I expect the story is similar on EL-9. |
