Re: [SLUG] Amavis + postfix|exim + commercial scanner
Thanks Tony and other replies. Feel so much better now. :) My plan is postfix + amavis + Mcafee NAI (vscan). Never been using any MTA except exim I guess I have to spend some time on postfix first. Jeff: when will you give your postfix talk? I've been a SLUG meeting once 2 years ago and thought it was too hardcore to me. Guess now is the time for me to join the group. Oh yes will you include a MTAs overview? Lester On Thu, May 09, 2002 at 03:30:50PM +1000, Jeff Waugh wrote: quote who=Alex Samad What about including sendmail as well ? Because my talk is about postfix (and why you should use it, often enough vs. sendmail). :-) - Jeff -- In the pre-Internet age, I was like an Internet kid, with a 3D search engine, trying to find weird stuff. - John Safran -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Guess now is the time for me to join the group. I'm doing mine as an introductory kind of talk, moving into advanced applications. Not much theory, mainly practical, useful stuff. It will cover virus scanning, spam killing, etc. as well as basic setup. Oh yes will you include a MTAs overview? Hmmm, yes... but it's a humourous one. :-) - Jeff -- Perl - The Movie Starring 'Weird' Al Yankovic -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] Amavis + postfix|exim + commercial scanner
Hi Jeff, I head from Grant (linuxcare) here was doing postfix|exim antivirus scanners. For about a year and a half now I've had the qmail version running reliably with amavis running under user qmails. Is it alright if I could contribute anything (like a Amavis - Qmail howto as well) just focusing on the difference from setting up for sendmail/postfix? It does involve a few patches (like QmailQueue) but if your using qmail you would have to compile it anyway (Dan's licensing). A few people have wrote a amavaisd client in C that behaves like qmailq but never released it - amavis still runs reliable as ever with a non daemonized version of amavis. I might have a go at the c client when I have the time (probably soon). Luke Jeff Waugh wrote: quote who=Lester Cheung My plan is postfix + amavis + Mcafee NAI (vscan).

Re: [SLUG] Amavis + postfix|exim + commercial scanner
What about the free Clam antivirus? Finally there is a non-commerical antivirus scannner. I've been watching openantivirus.org since it was plugged on the Amavis list 12 months ago :-) I use Inoculate 6.0 (commercial) but you can still download the 4.1 unix commmand line version (alpha) from CA's ftp site. Just use the update signatures from the Netware packages. Luke McKee wrote: Hi Jeff, I head from Grant (linuxcare) here was doing postfix|exim antivirus scanners.
