Okay, you could install virusscanners on all worstation, but my goal is to catch the virus and those damn pokémon BEFORE they can reach the workstations.
Anybody have some suggestions? A good scanner scanning incoming mail on my SuSE7.0 + Sendmail 8.10.2 would be a really nice too :)
Well, AMaViS or AMaViS-Perl, inflex, Protector or MIMEDefanger (which uses the libmilter stuff introduced in sendmail 8.10.x, but libmilter is still marked for future release). See www.openantivirus.org/av-unix_e.txt for a list of commerical anti virus products and open source solutions to integrate them into your eMail server (uh, reminds me to update this list soon ...). There's no open source virus scanning engine right now and I'm afraid this won't change in the near future. See www.av-test.com for a recent product comparison of anti virus programs for Linux. HTH P.S. The latest issue of the Information Security Bulletin (the german edition) by CHI Publishing (http://www.chi-publishing.com/) covers this topic, but I don't think this article will be translated for the international edition. best regards, Rainer Link -- Rainer Link | SuSE - The Linux Experts link@suse.de | Developer of A Mail Virus Scanner (amavis.org) www.suse.de | Founder OpenAntiVirus Project (www.openantivirus.org)
