Here is the email I posted to this list and the amavis list over a year ago..
It should still all be correct, although the download links may or may not be. (I added your new link already David, thankyou. The latest engine that should work with it is http://www.trendmicro.com/ftp/products/engine/vsapi6510rh.tar.Z I am still running an older engine, but thats more from my lazyness then from any problem with upgrading.. besides, I suspect that when this is used with Trophie the engine probably doesn't matter alot. (at least it hasn't had any problems at all as far as I am concerned.) Technically this is all only of use to someone wanting to protect windows users on their network from getting mail virus's by installation on a linux mail server.. so if you want it to keep virus's off a linux box don't waste your time, there are none worth worrying about. regards Franki ###################################################### I have just swapped to trend viruscan for linux... I thought I'd mention all the links and stuff, so that people can search the archives here if they want to know how it is done. Here is the url to download it, ftp://ftp.antivirus.com/products/freetools/ now http://www.trendmicro.com.au/member/Products/up_other.htm (the address listed in the "openantivirus" readme didn't work for me, but this one did... download filescanlinux.tar (when you untar it, it has install instructions and a pdf file) If the scanner install gives you a message that it wont' install because you don't have redhat release 6, (and you do have a modern linux)I got that message with mandrake 7.2, edit /etc/issue (create it if you don't already have one, go into /etc and type 'touch issue') and put the words "release 6" in it somewhere, you can delete it after install. (thats how the install program works out what version of linux you have) pretty lame method thinks me, but its a good thing that its lame if you don't have redhat. I have it working flawlessly on Mandrake and I don't think there would be much problem getting it working on other distro's. Here is the link to get the latest engine update, (the version I have now is "Virus Scanner v3.1") http://www.antivirus.com/download/engines/ Go to the Interscan viruswall table and look in the linux box. download that tarball. open the tarball, and copy the file in it into /etc/iscan, overwrite the file of the same name that's in there.(it might not be a bad idea to backup the old one in case there are problems.) thats your engine updated to their latest version. If for some reason the web manager pattern update feature doesn't work, (it didn't for me, think its a isp problem, we have a strange proxy.,) go here: http://www.antivirus.com/download/pattern.asp choose the linux tarball and you have the latest pattern file. Thats it,, This is a very comprhensive scanner for a freebie... much better then the network associates vscan I was using before,,, (admitadly an old version). the web interface is an exceptional feature... ######################################### -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Laulusa-D28 Sent: Friday, 18 July 2003 11:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Postfix and POP3 Here's the link to download FileScan for Linux. http://www.trendmicro.com.au/member/Products/up_other.htm Franki, you mentioned that the virus engine was updateable. Does that mean that I can download the virus engine for FileProtect for Linux (which is the new non-free av product from Trend) and use it on FileScan? Thanks.
