[ILUG] Mail server virus scanners

[Declan Grady]

I'm a newbie (still !) but.. I'm successfully using Frisk's 'fprot' virus
scanner, and the mailscanner (and spamassassin) package for sendmail, on a
redhat7 box.
I believe the mailscanner has been developed for postfix as well, but not
100% sure.

check out the mailscanner mailing list.. Julian Field seems quite
knowledgeable.
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk will give you archives, but there was discussion
in the last few weeks abut postfix and mailscanner.

I went with fprot as it is a per-server licence, instead of a per-user
licence. I bought the 'enterprise' version, at US$400, but I think the
'small-business' version is cheaper, and has all the functionality I need.

I only have small mail volume, but works a dream.
