Sendmail and spam/antivirus
Hello all. I have a small machine with Freebsd 7.3, it is running sendmail for a few email accounts. I'd like to implement, the easiest and most secure way to do it since machine is on a remote place where I have not access, I'd like to implement a spam filter and an antivirus. I installed from ports spamd but seems like it is not doing anything. What would be your advice on what to install to have and anivirus and an anti spam in the server? Sendmail is working fine and there are just a few email accounts there so no need to change it, since some of the accounts have been public in the last years they are in LOT of spammers lists and the spam and messages with virus has increased a lot in the last weeks so if possible to filter some will help. Thanks in advance.

Could you give an advice ? snort_inline with if_bridge provides a bit of this functionality. You drop all incoming off at a socket which you have snort listening on. It's then logged and reinserted if it passes the rules that snort.org provides. You can decide if you want to drop the traffic or not, by default it's just logged. I don't use it to catch viruses so I don't watch how effective it is. For me it's a filtering mechanism to match custom rules. There is a document that can be googled on the net concerning this. It shows most of the config but says you can't use it with if_bridge which you can. I don't have a 7.2 instance but it works well on 7.0. Even with horrendous amounts of traffic it seems to remain reliable. From memory (may be inaccurate), if you want to filter bi-directionally, you have to run two instances on different sockets with two different IPFW rules, one for each interface. I only have experience using this with IPFW. Thanks Bu elektronik posta ve varsa ekleri tamamen gizli ve gönderilen kişiler listesine özeldir.

Re: Antivirus to scan files before going onto a Windows machine: clamav?
I use Clamav on my mail gateway (along with Sophos) and it works very well, quite a few times catching new virus outbreaks quicker than Sophos. (All wrapped up with MailScanner which also calls SpamAssassin for me). BUT email/http isn't the only way to infect a windows PC so you really to have a solution where the problem is - on the PC. Perimeter AV solutions for Windows don't go anywhere near solving the problem. There's http://www.clamwin.com/, or many commercial solutions that aren't too expensive, AVG do a 'free' home solution. www.f-prot.com is the one I use at work.

See: http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/plural-of-virus.html http://dictionary.reference.com/help/faq/language/g63.html I think virus is a second declension masculine noun, so its nominative plural would be 'viri', but a plural form is not known from the extant cannon of Classical Latin. A complication would be that 'viri' is already known as the nominative plural of 'vir' (man), also of the second declension (I believe - my Latin was never up to much anyway, and what with no Cardinals or Popes to practise conversational Latin, I have forgotten most of it!). Which is why the other form 'virii' is occasionally seen, but again without precedent from Classical Latin, and with no attestation in any dictionary.

Re: Antivirus to scan files before going onto a Windows machine: clamav?
I'm not really here for windows advice, Just FreeBSD. I'm happy with my windows AV solution as it is, as I've had too many issues with many other solutions... And I have verified that it was hardware that was the problem, not a virus, makes sense, it would be my first virus if it were a virus related problem. -Jim ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I use ClamAV to scan all incoming e-mail on my mailserver with very good
results. I haven't ever used it as a file-scanner but I imagine it would
serve adequately.
I frequently use AVG antivirus as well. Their free edition is free to
download and use at home on a single computer. See http://free.grisoft.com
for more info. The non-free versions are more reasonably priced and (IMO)
in some ways superior to the other Windows AV products I've used, most
notably in ease-of-use and staying up-to-date.
I have enabled the Earthlink AV blocker. I run SpamAssassin here with
the ClamAV plugin. Then I run F-Secure on the main machine and Norton
on the second machine. I figure defense in depth is a fairly good thing.

Background:
System lags occasionally, and has crashed a few times, and is getting
disk errors (both HDs, one IDE, one SATA started this at the same
time). I suspect the motherboard, but can't be certain, could be Mem
or PSU.
Could also be virus.

Different tools have different update cycles, different crews working
on them, and your machine has different automatic updates for the various
AV tools. That's why I like my defense in depth. So far nothing has
triggered the final F-Secure stage. But that's mainly for the web
browsing viruses anyway. The first line of defense is Earthlink's virus
blocker. So far it appears that ClamAV, the second line of defense, has
mostly caught scam rather than virus problems. I suppose the SpamAssassin
I run is another half a level of defense. It's not really an AV tool.
But an awful lot of malware emails look like spam so they trigger the
SpamAssassin stage for many people. I figure it's almost time to get
to the Trend site and run their free online scan to get a solid fourth
opinion about the sanctity of my machine here.
Color me paranoid if you wish; but, they ARE out to get me - but it's
nothing personal. They'll be happy to get you, too.

It is a great site. I use the same setup without the online virus scanner on a small network which scans the http traffic and protects little kids from porn, gambling etc sites. Clamd runs just on a file system since the server runs samba services. Dansguarding databases get updated on a weekly basis. In addition the server acts as a firewall of course. Regards!

Antivirus on web proxy
Hi, I'm having a hard time getting antivirus plugged into a web proxy... I've tried Viralator and Squivi without luck; didn't seem to work right... I'm not very happy with the approach taken by these packages though I'm willing to try anything that works... Middleman seemed a good fit, but I kept getting errors with launching the filter program, never figured out why... HTTP::Proxy would be fine if the store-and-forward body filter was finished yet...

It can also be used from the command line to do ad-hoc scanning as and when you need it. You will need to run a client program on the Windows machines to do on-access scanning of local file systems.

ClamAV Log Rotation (WAS: Antivirus suggestion...)
Hope this is of some use: Bart Silverstrim wrote: I haven't tried it on Exim, but I've had mostly good luck with ClamAV (need to work on the log rotation question I've posted previously about, though...) Speaking of that log question, have you been able to prove (substantiate may be a better word) that this happens? also note that newsyslog has the ability to -HUP a process when it rotates a log file (for details on how to do this, take a look at apache log rotation howtos). I have been seeing several posts to the clamav-users list about it happening, that once it hits the quota limit for the logfile size that it will stop working. Has it happened to me yet? no...my logfile hasn't reached the 5 meg limit yet :-) I do need to find a way to rotate the log though. I'm just waiting to find someone that can say yes, I'm running clamav, and using newsyslog to rotate the log, here's the line I use in the conf file to do it and here's the line I use in the clamav.conf file to get it to work... Hey, if you get a working rotation configuration for Clamd, please do share! :-) I've got a production server holding it's own in proving open source software is a viable alternative to the commercial fellas for our school district, and I don't need to have our mail system go belly up because of an overgrown logfile :-) Clamd log rotation: first and foremost, make sure that clamav is gonna drop a pidfile. in /usr/local/etc/clamav.conf, uncomment: # This option allows you to save the process identifier of the listening # daemon (main thread). PidFile /var/run/clamd.pid then, add the following (one line) to /etc/newsyslog.conf /var/log/clamd.log 644 3 *$W0D1 BJ \ /var/run/clamd.pid 1 this will rotate the log once a week, keep 3 of them (current log +3 weeks). it will also compress the old one with bzip2 and SIGHUP the clamd process. seems to work just fine for me, running clamav-devel on -current (Mar 3 or so right now) ~j -- Jonathan T.

antivirus for FreeBSD
Hello All, Guidance anyone? I would like to deploy an Anti virus software on a FreeBSD v4.9 server hosting Samba. I wanted to look at the Ports Collection... the only thing I can find there is something called UV-Scan and only enough extra info to know I can only run it for a month. I have been considering Sophos and can get a two year contract for under $1k. That's under $42.00 per month. (including support for 10 workstations) I like Sophos but... are there any other decent options?

No fees for virus updates, either. It's also in the Ports Collection: /usr/ports/security/clamav I would recommend getting the latest download from their website as the software has improved greatly over the course of the last several months. It seems to be the best open source AV scanner I've been able to find that includes it's own virus database, but perhaps someone else knows of something better. - Jamie Ben ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Greetings from Minneapolis, MN, United States A friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RAV antivirus
I was wondering if anyone uses RAV antiviruse with FreeBSD and Postfix. I can't get their tech support to tell me how to rotate it's log file using only newsyslog. I entered the entries to newsyslog.conf, but I think that RAV is still rotating the files. I commented out the section that tells RAV how often to rotate the file, and it looks like it rotates the files at ramdom or something. I wasn't able to see what caused the files to rotate. As far as hour, day, size. I want to set the logs for RAV to rotate every Sunday night at Midnight. But the way it's setup, you can't do that. They only give you the option to rotate by the number of hours, days or by size. So if I want to come up with some reports on how many viruses we got for the week, I can't. Unless, I set the file to rotate daily, which would be fine for a week but not for a month. Thanks.
