Now I know that I'm not doing it just for me (like it seems with some of the other packages I am maintaining).

See http://packages.debian.org/unstable/utils/oav-update.html http://www.openantivirus.org I want this package! :-) That's a valueable input, thank you, David. Now I know that I'm not doing it just for me Several clients (including myself) want virusscanning at the mail gateway, but I was always reluctant to implement complex setups with dual queues or double sends which let setup maintnance costs explode. After browsing a bit through the URL there, exiscan v4 looks even more intresting, because with v2 one has to make sure that no exim -q is run _ever_ (which isn't as easy as it sounds). OAre there any plans to package exim v4 in the near future? Regards, David -- Afrika kommt nach Europa. Das ist der Kontineltaldrift.

I would probably have tried exiscan already if it had a Debian package. As it is, amavis is working OK, so I haven't bothered rocking the boat, in absence of a package (though I have had to go to a non-packaged version of amavis as well).

Bug#155626: ITP: exiscan -- An email virus scanner for the exim MTA
Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-08-06 Severity: wishlist * Package name: exiscan Version : 2.4 Upstream Author : Tom Kistner [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://duncanthrax.net/exiscan/ * License : GPL Description : An email virus scanner for the exim MTA Exiscan is an email virus scanner which works together with the Exim MTA (http://www.exim.org). It is written in Perl and designed to be very easy to implement. Exiscan supports multithreaded unpacking and scanning of mail, with a configurable number of processes. Exiscan has generic support for available command line virus scanners. Exiscan can scan inside of MS-TNEF and SMIME (signed) wrapped messages. For I am using it here @WORK anyway I thought it would be a nice idea to have it as package too, to let other people find their way to it. Though it's GPL it will go into contrib for it needs any virus scanner and I don't think that there is an open source one. It might be possible to have it in main if I disable the filtering at all (which would reduce the usefulness of the package at all). I don't know about amavis -- that should be able to do almost the same, but the exim hooks aren't turned on in that package. It's just a sugguestion to do this package. Thanks for the flames/comments/input. Alfie

It's just a sugguestion to do this package. amavis-exim? (recommended configuration requires newer version of exim not yet in Debian ;-( ) amavis-ng? (I am not sure if amavis-ng has been uploaded to Debian yet, but there was an ITP). Thanks for the flames/comments/input. Sounds like a good idea, and might be worth while even if it does compete with amavis. (just look at the number of forks in amavis...) -- Brian May [EMAIL PROTECTED]
