I second Stephen's rec for YAVR, if you are relatively familiar with Procmail, it's as easy to implement as falling off a chair, plus it catches a bunch of other nasties as well, like porn spam, free money scams, etc. *Very* frequently updated as each new bit of malware appears on the scene. Coupla links: http://agriroot.aua.gr/~nikant/nkvir/ http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/ (just in case you need it) Only limitation is this doesn't scan *existing* data on your server for viruses, only incoming mail. That's where you want to get into something like fprot (which again Stephen wisely recommended) for scanning a system for data files that may contain viruses. -- JoeHill RLU #282046 / www.freeyourmachine.org 19:14:05 up 18:55, 5 users, load average: 1.11, 1.19, 0.93 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "One of the most dangerous errors of our time is the belief that human beings are uniquely violent animals, barely restrained from committing atrocities on each other by the constraints of ethics, religion, and the state." -- Eric S.
