Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2003-12-18 Severity: wishlist * Package name : p3scan Version : 1.0-rc6 Upstream Author : Jack S. Lai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://p3scan.sourceforge.net/ * License : GPL Description : transparent POP3-proxy with virus- and spam-scanning
p3vsan uses iptables port re-direction to intercept outgoing POP3 connections. It provides different types of email scanning and is ideal for helping to protect your "Other OS" LAN from harm, especially when used in conjunction with a firewall and other Internet Proxy servers. It is designed to enable scanning of incoming email messages for virus's, worms, trojans, spam, and harmfull attachments. Because viewing HTML mail can enable a spammer to validate an email address (via Web bugs), it can also provide HTML stripping. ---------- Note that this is going to replace pop3vscan (I'm the current maintainer), which upstream was left in an unmaintained state. Several attempts were made (publicly [1], and private) to get the project active again. After a while, lots of patches had been submitted [2], and the original maintainer was still MIA, so p3scan was created by using pop3vscan as a base and incorporating most of the patches.
