Theres sweet fuck-all you can do with regard to web-based email. I suggest you use squidguard to block all web-based email, then run your own local mail server. I inherited a network of NT workstations and an Exchange server, and we have to run an AV product like Nortons AV at $77 NZ per machine annually. I disallow students permission to run any .exe except for the approved ones (winword.exe, arcinfo.exe, etc) by using NT system policies. I have removed about half the floppy drives from the school, so that theres no way for local virus infections (happens more often than you'd expect (bloody NAV doesn't even raise a dialogue box on a workstation when an infection is found (I want to scare the b'jeesus out of the user)))
Look at an imap server and a http front-end on apache running on a linux box. I can't help with specifics, though mister Google should be a good start. I did however tell squidguard to block "readme.eml" using an expressionlist. > ---------- > From: radical[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, September 28, 2001 6:31 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Anti-virus? > > I am usin squidGuard on our school server(internet gateway). > Recently we have been a LOT of problems cos of viruses.. like nimbda.. > etc. > How can i use some anti-virus..
