Hello,
I am Matthew. I have been using MailScanner and MailWatch for years. I am excited use eFa as part of my technology refresh. I am excited to have an RPM based installation. Although it is still in it infancy, I am hopeful work has begun to add el9 now that CentOS 9 Stream is available. El9 support might also be an opportunity to get eFa added to Fedora and EPEL?

To assist with EL9 support, I have already submitted requests to have the non-powertools rpms built for EPEL-9.

Yes, I have started on EL9 support. Lots of packages to make!

Wanted to followup on EL9 support. Can I help building packages or updating the install script?

Time is precious. I'll get back to this soon. Feel free to jump in and see what we are up against (it is a lot).

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I have noticed things are a lot closer to installing on EL9. I have taken the liberty of building the RPMs using a build system. I had to make few (hopefully minor) changes to get them to build. It now builds and installs (not tested) on EL9. There are still a few straggling issues with the install I still need address DM me and I can supply you with the url for the repo.

Changes I made:
- Dropped support el7
- Updated dcc so it does not need to build as root
- Add php compose results in the source tar file so it does not run during rpm build.
- Ran compose update. Updated symphony-bundle to the latest release (It needs to be replace as the project has been abandoned. I am not a php developer so this is not in my skill-set)
- Dropped development packages from RPM requirements
- Reduced the number perl modules rpms needing to be built since EPEL or Base now can supply them.

Todo:
Fix missing dcc_conf file is missing after install.
Update perl module spec files with complete list of BuildRequire statements.
Full testing.

Look forward to seeing what you have done.
