Yes, this is very similar to what mfilter does, I also forgot to mention that mfilter currently uses AVP for linux as it's scanner, so you WILL need to pay for the scanner itself, mfilter simply does all the processing for you. Support for other AV scanners is intended if people are interested.. Nix At 05:32 PM 17/10/2000, you wrote:

As it was send only to me, I'll forward it. Yes, correct. AvMailGate works as a SMTP-sotre-and-forward proxy with virus scanning capabilities. So it's concept is different to AMaViS or inflex and should be more flexible because it should work with all MTA's providing a sendmail-wrapper, i.e. postfix or qmail. Although I only gave it a try with sendmail some month ago.

there is a very nice tool available from www.inflex.co.za. It can scan for Virus ( with any Linux Virus Scanner), Contents and File extenstions ( .shs, .vbs ,....). Does it support postfix now? The original question was somewhat related to our SuSE eMail Server, which uses postfix as MTA.

You can use avmailgate from www.antivir.de but it is commercial. For home use I think it is free. It supports also postfix.
