Virus Scanning on Mailserver
A recent incident with Pretty Park in our building caused me much amusement and prompted our LAN administrator to ask if I can perform any virus scanning on the mailserver. Do there exist any solutions to scan email for viruses where the mailserver is a Linux box? Ideally I would like all locally delivered emails to be scanned before delivery. Our current mailserver is running sendmail 8.9.3 but I plan to upgrade to exim soon. Thanks, Fraser
RE: Virus Scanning on Mailserver
I like the amavis product. It allows you to pick the engine of your choice. Be aware, though, that it doesn't work with exim, (last time I checked), so sendmail is your best bet for this particular tool.

Our current mailserver is running sendmail 8.9.3 but I plan to upgrade to exim soon. One russian company (Kaspersky lab) that was famous as creator of high-quality antivirus software for DOS (when I tracked it) has a beta of antivirus suite for sendmail on Linux - try visiting www.avp.ru . As I heard, author(s) are DOS and probably Windows wizards, but they have a low experience with Unix and linux - so be warned and don't expect very much from linux version. It would be nice if you post your impression about their software. Thanks, Fraser Best regards, -Vlad
