SPEC: http://jwilson.fedorapeople.org/packaging/maia/maia.spec

Maia Mailguard is a high-performance and reliable interface between mailer
(MTA) and one or more content checkers: virus scanners, and/or
Mail::SpamAssassin Perl module. It is written in Perl, assuring high
reliability, portability and maintainability. It talks to MTA via (E)SMTP
or LMTP, or by using helper programs.

Included is amavisd-maia, a derivative of amavisd-new, modified to
include support for Maia Mailguard. Maia Mailguard is a set of PHP4 and
Perl scripts designed to offer users the ability to view and modify personal
virus- and spam-checking preferences, whitelists/blacklists, manage their
quarantined files, and report spam effectively.


The Maia license isn't Free enough for Fedora. See discussion here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2007-March/msg00119.html

And final word here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing

And the license itself here:
http://www.maiamailguard.org/license.php


$ rpmlint maia-1.0.2a-2.fc11.src.rpm
maia.src: W: invalid-license Maia Mailguard License, v.1.0
1 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 0 errors, 1 warnings.

Ignored, rpmlint simply doesn't know about this particular license.

rpmlint maia-*1.0.2a-2.fc11.noarch.rpm
[...]
2 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 20 errors, 66 warnings.

All IMO can be ignored:

-Most are 'non-standard-{g,u}id' warnings because the maia user owns many of
its own files, which is a requirement for the app to run correctly.

-The non-standard permissions and non-readable junk is also by design, there
are some security aspects involved here, maia won't run correctly if certain
files are readable by other users.

-The clamd.maia bits mirror the clamd.amavis bits already in Fedora (or at
least they did last time I looked...), and this is a somewhat special-case
initscript, as its actually more of a config file for an instance of clamd.

-The license thing again.
