Hi Jason... I understand your frustration with the Kaspersky stuff. I really 
do.  :)

I am embarrassed to say that I don't feel that I am 'qualified' to be included 
in the group of people considered to be  "working on the Kaspersky stuff"   I 
give credit to you guys for working on this (qmail-scanner, and the various 
subs) and for keeping the development of it moving forward. Qmail-scanner is 
a great solution for many of us.

I am more or less in the category of "hacking away at what I have to achieve 
the results I desire", and only posted my results to the list in the hopes 
that someone less experienced with qmail-scanner/Kaspersky might benefit from 
my experience. It was not meant to be considered as an official patch etc, 
since I am not a perl programmer, but again, offering my experience to either 
a less experienced user or someone who might incorporate it into an official 
patch/solution/etc was really my goal.

Sorry if my post only added to the static. It was not my intended result. 

Keep up the great work. I'll go back into lurking for a while now.  :)


P.S. I think part of the problem with coming up with a definitive solution to 
a Kasperksy implementation for qmail-scanner is difficult since there are at 
least 3 ways that I know of to interface to Kaspersky. 

1. Use kavscanner (current 'officially supported' method, but does not make 
use of the client/server ability of kaspersky)
2. Use the sample AvpDaemonClient script that is supplied with the Kaspersky 
software.  (Fast, makes use of the client/server ability, but requires the 
minor changes to the current avp_scanner sub that I reported to work)
3. Use Ryan's Finnie's method of talking to the kavdaemon process via a named 
pipe. This is probably the cleanest/fastest solution, but I had a problem 
that I was unable to debug in my rush for a solution. This is probably going 
to be what "we" decide on as being the correct method in my humble opinion,  
and hopefully Ryan will contact me so I can give him some feedback; direct 
email is OK Ryan  :)   This would require the current avp_scanner sub to be 
replaced with what Ryan has recently posted.


Keep up the great work everyone, and don't let the static distract you. :)
