Amavis itself is not a virus scanner, it is a generic mechanism for filtering email (among other, through a anti-virus scanner). ClamAV, at this point, is the only open source anti-virus scanner that have any traction, and it is commonly invoked by Amavis in the mail stack. The combination of Amavis + SpamAssassin + ClamAV appears to lead the open source email malware filtering stack. However, lot (most?) organizations use proprietary products for that job, or use a third party service. MailScanner is an alternative to Amavis, but I think it is not as popular. It is clear to me that email filtering through anti-spam/anti-virus needs to be included in that exam. It is very common task for an email administrator to setup and manage. > Webmail systems such as squirrelmail, Horde, RoundCube and the like > should also be added as clients. This is a hard call. There is no clear leader in the webmail application space, and it changes all the time. I would leave it out of the objectives. _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list lpi-examdev@lpi.org http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
