I'm using qmail-scanner (a qmail add-on available at http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net/) for email filtering, without an external virus DB, and i'm happy with it. We only use it as simple manner of reacting to well known viruses, through regular expression hand configuration. You could use a full-blown virus DB, but in this case you might need more processor, keep close control on DB synchronization, and to remember that emails could be ciphered end-to-end, defeating the most clever Mail Transfer Agent anti-virus software. ---jp ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lawrence Farr" <freebsd-isp@sixforty.co.uk> To: "Ed Henderson" <Ed.Henderson@Certainty.net>; <freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Friday, March 30, 2001 5:19 PM Subject: RE: Anti-virus scanner for email > Im using amavis from the ports with a few tweaks on a low traffic (10k mails > per week) server, > and the NAI engine.
