I know Trend Micro has Interscan for Linux which I ran on my box a while
ago. It works but I don't know the effect of mail though a proc mail
function could remove the file from the email and place it somewhere for
Interscan to scan it and then place it back... no???? Too much work
probably...
Might have to speak to Trend Micro about how it scan files (real time or
scheduled)......
thanks,

Subject: [SLUG] Open-Sourcing Linux based Mail Spool/Virus Protection
Ok - A lot of people have mailed me for details of how to implement virus
protection for a mail spool, and as a result protect all of the users of
that mail spool. Given there is so much interest within SLUG alone, It
looks like this would make a good open source project.
So - I'm open-sourcing the mail spool software as it exists (a few perl
scripts and good ideas really), and will start a project to enhance,
evolve and develop a more seemless solution.
This would likely include:
1. A Daemon re-written in 'C' rather then perl. (primarily for security
reasons)
2. A Web-Based configuration capability.
3. An enhanced smtpd - or fixes for a few problems in smtpd. The
Copyright of smtpd nees to be investigates - and a replacement written
if necessary.
4. MTA Neutral.
Now for the hard part - I need a funky name !
Could anybody who is interested in contributing to this project please
contact me via Email ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). I will arrange a site on
SourceForge and will let people know the details when they are available.
Unfortunately I don't have the time to do it all myself - It would be
great if there were enough interest for this to start as a SLUG based
project.
Cheers
Jason.
