[vchkpw] Re: qmail-scanner replacement
Hello Eduardo, On Wednesday, February 4, 2004 at 5:08:21 PM you wrote (at least in part): I would like to know if there's some program to replace qmail-scanner (I don't even need the anti-spam feature, I wanna just scan my messages with ClamAV). Yes. http://freshmeat.net/projects/qscanq/ - http://budney.homeunix.net:8080/users/budney/software/qscanq/ I have lots of mail servers and some of them are too large to run things written in perl. I'm looking for something made with real programming language, like C or C++. qscanq meets your requirements. -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther Rave on darlin', rave on, I'll buy you clothes of rayon...

Hello Tom, On Wednesday, February 4, 2004 at 6:29:58 PM you wrote (at least in part): I am curious about qmail-qfilter though... It's only a wrapper for you being able to use a arbitrary filter program. You'd have to write one that extracts the mail first and passes it parts to AV-scanner nevertheless when using qmail-qfilter. All instructions in qmail-qfilter I've found point at least to shell scripts as interim, surely a plus over loading Perl engine all the time, but not the goal IMHO. qmail-qscan execs 'ripmime' (a C written program as well) to extract messages and than invokes (for performance: hopefully C written) AV-scanner. It finally passed the message (when AV test returned negative) to qmail-queue (unless one modified the config, as I did ;-) ). IMHO this is (from PoV performance) not comparable with qmail-qfilter or qmail-scanner. But if one does not need the full power of qmail-scanner a good choice as it seems. -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther There is no 'I' in 'team', yet there is an MVP.
