If it helps - here is how to get Protector up and running under Postfix.

To install the programs, scripts etc..
- copy the tarball to /tmp
- un-tar, compile and install..

              tar -xzvf protector*
              cd into the /protector[version] directory
              gmake build
              gmake install

Now configure your postfix setup to use protector.
- If you are using webmin then go the the local delivery options in the Postfix module and add /usr/bin/protector to 'External command to use instead of local delivery'.
- or edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and add 'mailbox_command = /usr/bin/protector'
Restart postfix

Note from the project.. Mike has performed the above procedure using protector 1.00.5. It should work on all 1.00.x versions, but has not yet (June 2002) been tested on the 1.01.x version line. If you have the facilities to test the 1.01.x software with "postfix", I would be glad of news of your progress - then I can update this page accordingly - Please mail your information to the author at protector@lowth.com - thanks.
