The system in question runs FreeBSD5.4 with sendmail and bogofilter. Bogofilter is excellent at helping sort messages in to spam or other folders if you generate a large wordlist. One category of junkmail, however, is not true spam. It is more a form of hacking in that it tries to implant viruses like Johny Appleseed only this guy is Johny weedseed. I got antivirus-milter to make and install but it immediately failed when started: antivirus[53446]: externalcommand() failed to execve() /system/av/decullotage/uvscan I basically said, huh? After that, it hung and began telling all remote hosts to try again later. The url http://www.nmt.edu/~wcolburn/antivirus/ is no good any more and there was very little documentation in the package so I reset everything back to before the installation. This would have been a good counterpart to bogofilter since the virus bombs usually get past bogofilter. The ripmime utility extracts the payload and antivirus-milter is supposed to reject the message before delivery. The other milter I found is milter-bogom. It is probably fine, but it duplicates bogofilter's function on a system-wide basis. Any ideas are much appreciated.
