 to weed out spam.

It seems that there are many solutions that install easily and will use
many scanners. It is the scanners themselves that I don't have any idea
about. They are always in some list and written as though, well, just
everyone knows about them. 

Any opinions on the scanners themselves, as opposed to the glue?

I already told you...F-Prot and ClamAV work very well.  I suspect that the
others do too or they wouldn't be in business but I haven't used them.  
If you have the $$$ buy them and then tell the rest of us how they work
since ClamAV is the only open source application that I'm aware of.

2003-08-01 Thread Gary Wilson
While we are discussing email and spam, I was
wondering if anyone had any experience with CLAM
anti-virus, found at http://clamav.elektrapro.com/ ?

I'm looking at anti-virus solutions for a Linux
mailserver now that Microsoft has bought RAV and is in
the process of shutting it down.

I've been using it for months without problems...well, they've had a few
problems with their site when trying to get virus update files but those
were quickly resolved.

Actually, I use MailScanner and have installed both F-Prot and ClamAV. 
F-Prot is free for non-commercial users.  MailScanner installs seamlessly
requiring no changes to sendmail (also works with Postfix and Exim). 
MailScanner calls the installed virus scanners (it supports about a dozen)
to check the mail.  MailScanner also uses SpmaAssassin if that's installed
to weed out spam.

MailScanner also takes care of polling for virus updates for any installed
packages.  It's a great program!

All programs are easily installed and work well.

I use it in combination with sendmail-MIMEDefang-Spamassassin and it seems to
just plain work, with no real tweaking needed. You should see an entry in the
message headers such as:
X-Virus-Scanned: OK
X-Virus-Scanned: OK, scanned by File::Scan,ClamAV
