One thing that I think should be offered up is that while many people don't really believe in the idea of a virus protection software for your physical sessions with the machine, many will tell you that it's nice to use for whatever MTA you use to receive the email with. F-prot has a FreeBSD native scanner that works with the amavisd port (/usr/ports/security/amavisd or the variants) to help you filter viruses out of the *email* that would be passing through your machine. To tell which server your machine is using, you could #telnet localhost 143 Which would probably return something telling you the version & make of the IMAP software you're currently using. Uw-imap is a pretty easy installation, but you will have to do more than just "install" cyrus in order to get it to work with your system.

I recently did some research into this, and there are a few projects in the works, but none of them claim to be reliable or complete. You'll have to fork out some $$$ for decent virus protection, Sophos is good and runs well on FreeBSD, there are others but I can't vouch for them. As someone else stated, there is no real concern about viruses hurting FreeBSD itself. Folks who put virus protection on FreeBSD do so because they have Windows machines that use the FreeBSD computer for mail/filesharing/whatever that they want to protect. IMAP: Where can I tell freeBSD which IMAP software should he use? Like I installed cyrus and imapd-uw. So which one the system is using and how can I switch between them? To my knowledge, there's no overall method for installing multiple IMAP servers and controlling them. If /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ is configured to start both, whichever one manages to get ahold of the IMAP port first will likely cause the other one to fail to start. Beyond that, use the scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d to control which one is currently running, and to start and stop them. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Most Unix users don't need anti-virus software; someone gave a reference to chkrootkit under the ports which will look for rootkits. IMAP: Where can I tell freeBSD which IMAP software should he use? Like I installed cyrus and imapd-uw. So which one the system is using and how can I switch between them? Take a look at /etc/inetd.conf, although it's also possible to configure the mail daemons to work as standalone programs. -Chuck Chuck Swiger | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | All your packets are belong to us. -+---+--- "The human race's favorite method for being in control of the facts is to ignore them." -Celia Green To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
