Um, not that I do this very often, especially on Security matters?!? But to quote err... Microsoft... (cringe) Law #8 - An out of date virus scanner is only marginally better than no virus scanner at all http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/community/columns/security/essays/10imlaws.mspx > From: Scott Plumlee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [Mimedefang] Anti-virus software > > I've been running ClamAV for the past 3 versions (.80 to .83) for > serveral months on a small server with about 25 users.

I'm in a very similar situation only I have fewer users. I've had very little trouble in upgrading clamav on my systems as I utilize the up2date functionality of the Redhat'ish OS's that I run. If you set up the up2date/yum to keep up with the DAG repository you'll be updated on a pretty short order. Now of course, I don't rely on automatic updates and updates are done manually, and as well beaten on this mailing list, you will need to make a few minor permissions adjustments (or sendmail configuration changes) in order to get the DAG package to play well with Mimedefang/Sendmail. DAG has builds for Redhat Enterprise, Fedora 1-3, and many more. But DAG also has packages that may conflict with system packages from time to time, so be careful in your configuration. _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
