Re: [REDHAT] Mail Scanner

I also found a couple of shellscripts that work with smtpd and smtpfwdd and any 
command line antivirus. FYI: http://www.linuxjournal.com/print.php?sid=4882 Looks 
light and simple enough for a guy that hasn't even bought the "O'Reilly's bat"

I'm working on installing SpamAssassing (http://www.spamassassin.org) for 
the spam problem, but I have yet to figure out how to easily do virus 
scanning or, better yet, find a document that *tells* me how to do it.

The Linux camp is constantly getting better, but the documentation needs 
work (never met a good programmer who was also a good documenter).

Re: [REDHAT] Mail Scanner

2002-04-24 Thread Francisco Neira

Hi all,

I'd been looking for the same. I has been told that the sendmail + mailscanner + 
f-prot recipe does the virus-scanning and spam-filtering jobs nicely. I am 
experimenting on this field since my experience (little) with email systems subscribes 
to Novell Groupwise.

In fact, I am trying to apply the previous recipe in a Linux box and set it between my 
Groupwise mail server and the Net since Groupwise does not allows the kind of 
filtering I need.

Any suggestions/tips/hints will be highly appreciated!

Francisco

A singularly unhelpful response, David. Clearly the guy hasn't a clue and 
is looking for pointers on how to get started; a one-word answer (and a 
cryptic one at that) does him no good.

Procmail is not a virus scanner; it can be used for such a purpose if one 
finds on the Internet a set of recipes that scan for common virii but that 
is *not* its original purpose. Since you failed or neglected to even 
mention finding recipes, God forbid actually give the guy a URL, likely all 
you will do is confuse him.

Could you perhaps add a little detail, so your efforts to help him may be 
more successful?

Really, now?  And just when did Procmail become a virus scaner, too?
