Has anyone gotten the port
/usr/ports/mail/antivirus-milter to work?
The system in question runs FreeBSD5.4 with sendmail and
bogofilter. Bogofilter is excellent at helping sort messages in
to spam or other folders if you generate a large wordlist.
One category of junkmail, however, is not true spam. It
is more a form of hacking in that it tries to implant viruses
like Johny Appleseed only this guy is Johny weedseed.
I got antivirus-milter to make and install but it
immediately failed when started:
antivirus[53446]: externalcommand()
failed to execve() /system/av/decullotage/uvscan
I basically said, huh? After that, it hung and began
telling all remote hosts to try again later.
The url
http://www.nmt.edu/~wcolburn/antivirus/
is no good any more and there was very little documentation in
the package so I reset everything back to before the
installation.
This would have been a good counterpart to bogofilter
since the virus bombs usually get past bogofilter. The ripmime
utility extracts the payload and antivirus-milter is supposed to
reject the message before delivery.
The other milter I found is milter-bogom. It is probably
fine, but it duplicates bogofilter's function on a system-wide
basis.
Any ideas are much appreciated.
