Hi all!
I'm preparing to implement Virus scanning on my mail server.
I'm running 4.5 and Sendmail, and I intend to use the Sophos Anti-Virus
Interface (SAVI) to do the Anti-Virus Scanning.
So - to the Question: Which utility would you recommend for grabbing the
mail from Sendmail and handing it over to Sophos?
Possibilities I have seen are Amavis and Inflex. Perhaps there are
others? Recently I have heard about Sendmail's "milter" feature. Will
this do the trick? Xamime looks great, but I would rather start off
using a free tool, and perhaps buy into the additional features later
(Once I can generate some revenue from my customers:)
My minimum feature list is quite short right now:
1) Easy to install/administer - available in the Ports collection.
2) Reliable handling of attachments.
3) Ability to accept/reject mails based on content/attachment type.
4) Ability to accept/reject mails based on result of Sophos Virus Scan.
Later I will look into ACLs, etc.
Thanks for your comments.
Regards,
Patrick O'Reilly.
