MAIA MAILGUARD CONFIGURATION TEST

This script checks for the presence of applications and Perl modules
required by amavisd-maia, SpamAssassin, and Maia Mailguard’s maintenance
scripts.  Version numbers are also checked, and if a newer version of
a component is recommended, you should consider upgrading to at least
the minimum recommended version.

If you have already configured your Maia Mailguard database, the script
will also test the connection to that database.

Remember also to run the configtest.php script on your web server to
perform similar tests of your web, PHP, and PEAR environment.

Determine file type (via magic file)

Hmm…

Looking p5 equivalent ports.

mail# whereis p5-File-Type
p5-File-Type: /usr/ports/devel/p5-File-Type

I decide to give this port a try :

mail# cd /usr/ports/devel/p5-File-Type && make install
