Re: [SLUG] Amavis + postfix|exim + commercial scanner

2002-05-10 Thread Luke McKee


What about the free Clam antivirus? Finally there is a non-commerical 
antivirus scannner. I've been watching openantivirus.org since it was 
plugged on the Amavis list 12 months ago :-)

I use Inoculate 6.0 (commercial) but you can still download the 4.1 unix 
commmand line version (alpha) from CA's ftp site. Just use the update 
signatures from the Netware packages.

Re: [SLUG] Amavis + postfix|exim + commercial scanner

2002-05-10 Thread Luke McKee

Hi Jeff,

I head from Grant (linuxcare) here was doing postfix|exim antivirus 
scanners.
For about a year and a half now I've had the qmail version running 
reliably with amavis running under user qmails.

Is it alright if I could contribute anything (like a Amavis - Qmail 
howto as well) just focusing on the difference from setting up for 
sendmail/postfix?
It does involve a few patches (like QmailQueue) but if your using qmail 
you would have to compile it anyway (Dan's licensing).

A few people have wrote a amavaisd client in C that behaves like qmailq 
but never released it - amavis still runs reliable as ever with a non 
daemonized version of amavis. I might have a go at the c client when I 
have the time (probably soon).

I'm doing mine as an introductory kind of talk, moving into advanced
applications. Not much theory, mainly practical, useful stuff. It will cover
virus scanning, spam killing, etc. as well as basic setup.

> Oh yes will you include a MTAs overview?

Hmmm, yes... but it's a humourous one. :-)

Thanks Tony and other replies. Feel so much better now. :)

My plan is postfix + amavis + Mcafee NAI (vscan). Never been using any
MTA except exim I guess I have to spend some time on postfix first. 

Jeff: when will you give your postfix talk? I've been a SLUG meeting
once 2 years ago and thought it was too hardcore to me. Guess now is the
time for me to join the group. Oh yes will you include a MTAs overview?
