I've found it to be just a slight bit less reliable than symantec. I've only had 1 very fresh virus get through symantec's scanner, but 1 old virus got through ClamAV. That being said, courier usually catches the virus as an improperly formatted mime attachment.I have just finished configuring Amavis-ng with Clamd on my Courier server. It is currently only active on my account and seems to work fine with the test file. Before I set it loose on the entire mail server and disable the external scanners, I was wondering what some of you could tell me about ClamAV.
Is it reliable? Have you had any problems with viruses getting through?
I use them both in my "production" environments, but that's for considerbly lower traffic servers than some other people on this list. I'd feel comfortable deploying an amavis/clamav server to a larger userbase if the users had desktop scanning also.We are currently using Symantec AntiVirus for Gateways. It works well, but I would like to move toward something that can integrate with Courier. The problem is that I don't know too much about ClamAV and if I switch over and then a virus gets through, my boss is not going to be happy with me!
I guess my main question is this: is the Amavis-ng/Clamd combination stable and reliable enough for a production environment?
I used to use RAV. Apart from it's clumbsy configuration it really did catch everything. Too bad about the nasty consequences of their buyout.
Definately on topic. Courier implementations get lost in the Clamav-users sendmail/milter posts.I apologize if this is a bit off-topic, but I think I can get a more balanced opinion here than in clamav-users.
