I've been thinking about supporting the virustest/spamtest Sieve extensions by way of linking to other popular open source virus and spam testing libraries. It's a bit of a ways off, and it means tieing things into Sieve rather than the MTA -> LMTP (...) -> DBMail-LMTP delivery chain, which if not easier to set up is at least discrete parts that are individually maintained.
Like many things in the email world, there's a place for both ;-) Aaron On Sun, 2006-12-17 at 21:01 +0100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Ok, > I give the reason for you both. > I use clamav and spamassassin with postfix also, but i just thinked on this > and tought it may be something interesting :P > > Jorge > > On Sun, 17 Dec 2006 14:51:36 -0500, Dmitri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I use amavisd-new to filter incoming mail for spam and viruses before > > the mail is passed to dbmail > > this way all the garbage does not even reach dbmail and therefore saves > > alot of otherwise unnecessary mysql activity. > > > > Adding virus checks to dbmail-lmtpd is not a good as scanning for > > viruses and spam BEFORE the email is passed to dbmail > > > > also it's always good to keep virus and spam checking separate, so that > > upgrading dbmail will not affect the antivirus software. > > > > > > > > Paul J Stevens wrote: > > > >>Jorge Bastos wrote: > >> > >> > >>>Hi, > >>> > >>>Aaron/Paul and other developers, > >>>Before read this, i'm not asking nothing, this is just something that > >>>came to my mind. > >>>How about to have a antivirus integration in dbmail-lmtpd ? something > >>>like make the email get scanned by a shell script that executes clamav > >>>or other. > >>>This could make DBmail even ore rich than it is right now. > >>>Maybe in a 2.5x series, what do you think? > >>> > >>> > >> > >>That's not so far fetched at all. > >> > >>Dbmail already provides several mechanisms to filter incoming messages. > >> > >>You can use a pipe based setup in dbmail_aliases.
