Hi,
I recently installed clam anti-virus from the backport
at www.backports.org.
(system is debian stable running qmail)
Modified my sources.list file to point to backports.org,
then ran 'apt-get install clamav'.
The install goes fine, but it doesn't scan mail without some
additional configuring.
Can anyone recommend a good open source (email)
anti-virus solution for Qmail running on Debian Stable.
Or even a reasonably priced commercial solution
if it is good.
