As Amavis/Antivir are not delivered with SuSE-PPC, does anyone know of a
workable email/antivirus program that works with Postfix on SuSE-PPC

Actually, AMaViS works on PowerPPC, as it's written in Perl (it works
flawlessly on an iSeries 270 maschine with sendmail). But AntiVir is
only available for Linux/i386 and therefore AMaViS isn't shipped on
SuSE-PPC (as AMaViS requires at least one virus scanner, and Antivir is
the only virus scanner we're shipping on our CDs). Please consider to
install AMaViS from the sources (http://sf.net/projects/amavis) - this
applies to some Perl modules, needed by AMaViS, too. Grabing the source
RPMs from the i386 tree and re-building them should work, too.
Currently, I'm only aware of two virus scanners working on PPC:
a) Sophos Sweep - but that's a non-public version, AFAIK. So, just get in
contact with the Sophos folks (www.sophos.com)
b) OpenAntiVirus ScannerDaemon, which is written in Java. But it isn't
ready for prime time yet and I won't recommend it as your sole virus
scanner within AMaViS.
Please let me know, if I missed a product for Linux/PPC. Of couse, you may
ask your favorite anti-virus vendor for a PPC version. Probably they
consider porting their software to this platform on public demand :)
