The scanner is licensed GPL and I do not plan to release it under a less restricting license. You still can use it via the TCP/IP-interface.Consider this: http://help.rr.com/getpage.asp?/faqs/e_mgsp.html. From what I read, 80% of corporate mail servers now incorporate some form of virus detection.It would be nice if James had a matcher capable of virus detection. I came across this article http://online.securityfocus.com/infocus/1650, and the associated OpenAV project at www.openantivirus.org. Imagine my pleasure at finding that the official projects, ScannerDaemon, VirusHammer and PatternFinder, are written in Java. The project page mentions GPL, but their SourceForge.net page mentions that it is also licensed under BSD, so we'll just have to ask for clarification, and make sure that we have some Open Source, non-GPL, license, as we've received from other cooperative projects.
A wrapper would be very easy. Something likeI think that this looks interesting, but I expect my own time to be consumed on other parts of James. Does someone else have the time and interest to look at wrapping a Matcher around the OpenAV scanner classes?
scanner.scan(file);
where 'file' is a 'File'. An VirusFoundException is being thrown if a virus has been detected and nothing happens otherwise.
