Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2000 12:04:57 -0700 (PDT) From: David Babler To: ISP Subject: Email virus scanning In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm currently working with another small ISP, trying to convert much of his operation from NT-based to FreeBSD. He would like to move away from the proprietary email solution he has, but there's a sticking point - he offers, as a distinguishing service, email virus scanning for all user email. He's using Trend's ServerSafe (I belive that's the name). In looking for a solution with FreeBSD I quickly found that most all anti-virus vendors don't seem to understand what sort of a beast an ISP is for their licensing purposes ("seats"? we don' got no stinkin' seats!). Also, none of the commercial solutions seem very well suited to actually integrate with an MTA. My question is: how many of you virus-scan your customer's email, and what do you use to do it? TIA. -Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
