We're using AMaViS to virus-scan both inbound and outbound mail. It works its way down through archives, compression and other attempts to obscure signatures. Pretty slick. Implements as a mailer in sendmail 8.11. Only drawback is that it works as a ringmaster, coordinating other packages to actually manipulate the e-mail and do the scans. Which means you have to get a real scanner. We've been using AntiVirus from Network Associates (runs under the Linux emulator) with twice daily automated updates of the signature database, but it will work with perhaps a half-dozen others. http://amavis.org/ -crl -- Chad R.
