Sorry it took a while (there was a lot more cleanup than I thought just to get it "working".) It appears that HTMLPurifier is still being used? If this is true, I'm unsure how to handle that within the FBSD port as it has been removed from the ports tree for quite a while. So, this bit of the install may need to remain a manual process. I *MAY* be able to include the needed PEAR stuff, but it's generally frowned upon to include unsupported stuff like this in the port as it's quite a nasty security risk. :( This is purely for testing purposes so I'm not too worried about it at the moment. To anyone using/testing this, *PLEASE* let me know if you run into any problems so I can continue updating and make the port solid. I am anticipating some interesting file location changes (at the very least). Anyhow, enough rambling... Here is the repo for the FBSD port (1.0.5-alpha1). It contains both the port directory as well as a patch (use "git apply" in /usr/ports) so you can choose which to use (the patch also includes adding it to the "security/Makefile" so a little more proper.) https://github.com/eekay35/maia-mailguard-fbsd Regards, Janky Jay, III On 9/22/25 11:02AM, Janky Jay, III wrote: > I'll upload the (I believe) working port to a repo today.
