That is what amavisd-new already does before it calls virus scanners or
spam-assassin. Unfortunately, you can't just reject/quarantine every
executable in a corporate environment. At least I can't.
I can't think of a good enough reason to accept executables in a corporate
environment :-P
Except for developers, perhaps, and they can be declared in one of the
"friend" list amavis has.
I wonder if amavis can be told to run virus scan only on those email with
suspicious attachments: exes, docs, pdfs, etc. I disabled it precisely
because it scanned every mail, which I think is an overkill: why should it
scan this list mail, for instance? It text only.
It doesn't (see above). Scanninng text only files is very fast, most of the
time is spent to actually load the scanner itself. That's why a daemonized
scanner is preferable.
I'll give clamav a try, but I have to find a way to disable "antivir": I
do not want both running. I'll check the config.
