Re: Email Virus Scanner

2002-08-13 Thread francois
I have been using mailscanner and sophos and i did get some problems of
configuration.
Now i am using exiscan with sophos and it works very fine.

I think it is the fastiest mail virus scanner to install and configure, even
if you only relay the mail.

 Sophos is considered by many in the security industry to be one of the
best.  BUT, it is commercial (in other words...green).  It supports MANY
MANY MANY platforms and is basically an smtp pipe...

 Gentlemen,
 
 I am wanting to setup a good virus scanner for exim.  I tried out
 mailscanner, but it bombs with an error.  I tried to fix the error,
 but I got frustrated.  I would like to use mailscanner or even the
 santizer.  Do you guys have any suggestions or even a preference over
 one or the other?

Hello,

I perfer the scanning and rejection to be at SMTP sending time so I think
exiscan [1] is a better tool. You can also add-in spamassassin checking at the
same time and there is a patch to reject or just tag based the spamassassin
responce with a patch from [EMAIL PROTECTED] posted to the exiscanusers list on 
Jul
29th.
