Sendmail Virusscan
Helo, to everyone. I'm using the AMVIS 0.6 to scan incoming Mail for Viruses. Question : Is there a possibility to scan relayed mails (transport with smtp / esmtp), and outgoing mails ? Amavis simply replaces the procmail (mail.local), so i think, with Amavis this will not work. Any Idea ? tia Harald Scharf Softpoint electronic Netzwerksysteme / Firewalls Windows NT/Windows 2000/Linux/Netware/Unix mailto:h.scharf@softpoint.at www.softpoint.at www.simplex.at

Well, several possibilities do exist: a) read the FAQ :-) this should work with AMaViS 0.2.0-pre6 and AMaViS 0.2.0-pre6-clm-rl-8 and perhaps AMaViS-Perl-6. But I haven't tested it yet. b) use the SMTP-store-and-forward proxy from the Juniper Firewall and apply two patches for AMaViS 0.2.0-pre6 (I haven't make any patches to the clm-rl series) - they are available on my homepage. c) use the outmail patch: www.unix.cslab.tuwien.ac.at/~ackerman/outmail.html d) wait until my relay stuff works ;-( The first try is already in my CVS, but this CVS isn't public yet (although CVSWeb is working :-)) e) have a look at http://av-linux.w3.to/, especially the Mini-FAQ in text format Please keep in mind, that AVP for sendmail uses just the same concept as we, but e.g. AvGuard von H+B EDV works as a Proxy with virus scanning capabilities (well, I should add such info to my Mini-FAQ) f) wait for the SuSE SMTP-Proxy :-) The clm-rl-series and the Perl rewrite can be found at http://www.unixzone.com/virus/.

I've put AMaViS 0.2.0-pre6-clm-rl-8-22-05-200 on my website (this is not an official release!). I've been using the relay stuff for sendmail for several days now and it works (well, some (minor) issues needs tp be fixed/improved). Please give it a try and report any bugs/problems to me (you shouldn't try it on a production maschine), see: http://www.cn.is.fh-furtwangen.de/~link/security/amavis-patch.php3#latest_so...
