I'd like to mention my successes with it too. I've used qmail-ldap with qmail-scanner also, and it works very well. In general usage, I've written a small script to update the virus definitions on a nightly basis from the Sophos website (Sweep tended to work the best, however not the fastest, out of the scanners I tried). If anyone is interested in the script, I'd be more than glad to send it. (It's really very very simple, but it works well. It caught Nimda before Nimda was popular :) As a question for Christian, however: How often and which method do you use to clean your quarantines? Or do you not quarantine found viruses? I was hit by 250 Sircams in a night recently, at 5 megs a piece. It was definitely thrashing the mail spool at that point. Back in regards to the LDAP setup, has anyone used an LDAP entry to refer to the quarantine Maildir of the AV software? This seems like a simple proposition (simpler than user account based). -- | Stephen "Slepp" Olesen / VE6SLP | Edmonton, Alberta, Canada / (780) 425-4798 | President of Geeks Anonymous + http://www.geeksanon.ca/ +---------------------------------
