I'm supposed to set up clamav to scan mail going to our Microsoft Exchange 5.5 . From the documentation I've seen I don't see how that can be done. Can someone help me out on how to do this, or point me in the direction where I can find information on the topic?
For us the best solution was a gateway (just sent a previous mail on another thread saying this :-)
The scanning machine didn't need to know anything about the accounts; it just blindly scans the mail and if SpamAssassin passes it and the virus scanner passes it the message gets blindly forwarded to the internal server.
We used a FreeBSD system to handle it; took the scanning load off the Exchange server. We also had enough funding to get a different AV scanner on the Windows machine to "double scan" email, although I'll say that the scanner on the Exchange box does nothing but slows it down...I rarely see anything caught on it, and when I did, it was something that slipped in between ClamAV updates. Our gateway solution has been working very well for our users...
