Subject:   Serious problems with Kaspersky for FreeBSD (Amavis as well)

Hello all,

I'm trying to get Virus protection working on a FreeBSD mail
server to protect the Windows & Macintosh clients that use
it.  After some research, I decided on the Kaspersky software,
as it was supposed to integrate well with FreeBSD & sendmail.

Apparently, I should have researched more before committing
to this software.  The sendmail hooks don't work, the documentation
had to be pried from the paws of Kaspersky's tech support staff,
the configuration utility crashes frequently, and when it isn't
crashing, it refuses to allow me to configure the kavkeeper
(which is the program that interfaces with sendmail)

Since 99% of the problems seemed to center around kavkeeper, I
decided to try installing Amavis to handle the job that kavkeeper
couldn't.  But I can't get Amavis to recognize that Kaspersky
is installed and install.  If I simply run make, the Amavis port
doesn't recognize Kaspersky, and instead installs the uvscan
port.  I tweaked the Makefile to remove uvscan as a dependency,
and then Amavis won't install.  I then tweaked the configure
script to look for kavdaemon instead of AvpDaemon, and configure
seems to find Kaspersky, but still fails to install Amavis
make: don't know how to make all: Stop
*** Error Code 2

Anyone gotten this working?  I've got to get this client up
and running with server-based virus protection soon.  (they're
having continual problems ... ) Does anyone one have a
recommendation for something that works well with FreeBSD &
sendmail (with regular updates available?)

My test machine is 4.6-STABLE.  The current target machine is
running 4.2, but I'll update it if need be, when the time comes.
First I need a working install on this test machine.
