What I am using is as follows: 1) A copy of qqrbl, HEAVILY MODIFIED (and no, it isn't really in a state that I can give this out) which does multiple RBL lists, PLUS runs the virus scanner. Basically, it spits a complete copy of every email it recieves to the /tmp directory and runs the virus scanner on it. If the virus scanner returns a "has virus" result, it returns it to the sender, with some address de-mangling to handle magistr and the like. On the QQRBL side, it just adds headers for users to more easily match against for any RBL it finds. 2) Kaspersky antivirus (www.kaspersky.com). This runs on freebsd. This has two modes - basically a light and a heavy setting, although they call the settings different things. Essentially, the light setting does a once-over and the heavy setting recursively processeses the files. Unfortunately, the heavy setting takes lots of CPU to do its work. The Light setting appears to miss about 1 in 100 viruses. That said, there is no reason you couldn't use another virus checker. I DO NOT recommend the Kaspersky qmail product, at least unless they fixed the bugs (and they were aware of them and working on them.). On Tue, 23 Oct 2001, John A.
