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. ___ _ __ / _ )__ __ (_)_ __ ___ _/ /____ __ / __/ -_) _) / ~ ) -_), ,-/ -_) _) /_/ \__/_//_/_/~/_/\__/ \__/\__/_/ http://www.perimeter.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
