Hi everybody,

1) Dear Michael - of course a "howto" would be most appreciated, regarding
deployment of a commercial antivirus package with e-smith, preferably
retaining the possibility to make an upgrade to the system later on.

2) Did anybody try to make a simple anti-worm mail processing system for
e-smith?
What I mean is a following set of actions:
- Look at every mail received
- Check the attachments against a list of specified attachment names (a text
file, specifying unwanted attachments, one by one)
- If a match is found - strip the attachment and leave info regarding this
action in the message body
- Deliver
Such a simple system, although trivial, might be quite useful, especially
when there appears a new worm (like NakedWife.exe yesterday) in the wild and
an admin can be quicker then the antivirus software company.
Sometimes there is a local "disease", like one we had a couple of weeks ago
in Poland with a worm entitled "Romeo&Juliet" - it took 3 days for Symantec
to include it in their NAV definitions, leaving us vulnerable in the mean
time.

Best regards
Stan Winiecki
