read the changelog.

Thomas



- queries for viruses and bad URL's to www.virustotal.com are now 
supported
  virus checks require ASSP_AFC.pm (version 5.10)

- lib/ASSP_VirusTotal_API.pm (version 1.01) and the changed ASSP_AFC.pm 
(version 5.11) 

- 'VirusTotalAPIKey','The Privat API-Key for VirusTotal'
 'To query www.VirusTotal.com for URIs and/or viruses (ASSP_AFC.pm), a 
valid API-Key is required. An API-Key is provided by VirusTotal for free, 
after your registration at www.virustotal.com.
 Such a free API-Key is limited to four queries at VirusTotal per minute. 
API-Keys for a higher query volume are also provided by VirusTotal.
 Systems that are part of the ASSP-Global-PenalyBox network can leave this 
value empty. They are getting an API-Key with a much higher query volume 
from the GPB-Server automatically,
 without any additionally costs. This API-Key is not shown here!'

'ASSP_AFCDoVirusTotalVirusScan','Enable VirusTotal Virus Scan'
'If a VirusTotalAPIKey is provided and this option is enabled, all 
MIME-parts will be (in addition to ClamAV and/or FileScan) checked by 
www.virustotal.com.' 

- DBD::MariaDB is now supported

 
- The ClamAV-engine now uses the modern INSTREAM clamav-API. It uses less 
system resources and is faster than the "old" STREAM-API. 

- using the unix socket for the ClamAV communication failed on some 
systems

- assp has thrown an error if the ClamAV, configuration was anyway invalid 
or not working, but UseAvClamd was disabled 

- ASSP_AFCKnownGoodEXE,'Well Known Good Executable Files'
 'Put the SHA256_HEX hash of all well known good executables in to this 
file (one per line). If the SHA256_HEX hash (not case sensitive) of an 
attachment or a part of a compressed attachment
 (e.g. exe, *.bin MS-Macro or OLE) is equal to a line in this file, the 
attachment passes the attachment check for all mails (regardless its 
extension and the settings in UserAttach).
 The same applies to the following ojects in a PDF file: Certificate, 
Signature, JavaScript . If the SHA256_HEX hash of any of these PDF objects 
matches, the PDF will pass the attachment check.
 Comments are allowed after the hash and at the begin of a line 
(recommended).
 If configured, the analyzer and the maillog.txt will show the SHA256_HEX 
hash and the optional defined comment for all detected executables and PDF 
objects.
 For security reasons, virus scanning is not skipped.
 <b>Notice:</b> this feature is mainly created for executable files, but 
it will work for every attachment and every part of a compressed 
attachment.
 For example - this can be usefull, if clients regular sending or 
receiving documents or excel sheets, which contains every time the same 
MS-Macro/MS-OLE (e.g. executable).
 In this case, decompress the doc[xm] and calculate the SHA256_HEX hash 
for the vbaProject.bin or the vbaProjectSignature.bin file and register 
the hash here.
