Ian,

I am not sure of your technical expereince level, or your MTA of
preference, but you can easily setup something with a combination of
qmail+clamav.

All you have to do is integrate clamav to scan at the qmail queue level.
This can easily be done with a program such as qmail-qfilter (a C
application that can take scripts - bash, perl, php, etc as arguments)
and use that for scanning mail as it passes into the qmail queue (all
messages that arrive in qmail have to pass through the queue).

You can put together a qmail installation with QMAILQUEUE patch,
smtproutes (a forwarding method that comes with qmail), and a shell
script that calls clamdscan. It is rather simple and scales well. You
can even have different methods of handling of virus messages (tagging,
defanging, dropping to /dev/null, etc) based on exit codes.

Having said all that... I have done this before for some of my current
customers **shameless plug** and we are currently testing an outsourced
service where you point your MX records to our servers and we scan, tag,
and forward the messages for you (spamassassin as well) **/shameless
plug**. I am not trying to drum up business, just offering an
alternative for those who like to pay somebody rather than hacking away
at code. So please no flames...

But take a look at qmail with smtproutes. It will do exactly what you
want, and if you want a copy of the shell script you should be able to
find it in the archives of the mailing list as I have posted it here
before. I have an updated version that makes use of the ScanMail and
other new features of clamd. Please let me know if you would like a
copy.

I am looking for an SMTP proxy to use with Clamav. Can anyone recommend
one?

Ian.
