Hello All I have put together an antivirus filter for use with Exim.
The filter is written in Python, and it works by examining Mime headers in e-mail messages. It does not make use of a pattern database. You could describe it as an upgrade to the antivirus Exim system filter published on the Exim website. However it has comprehensive Mime parsing capabilities and features for sending virus notification to both senders and recipients. It is similar to the application "mimedefang", but it is not dependent on "procmail" and works for incoming, outgoing and relayed e-mail. I have developed on a Debian "woody" server running Exim 3.35. It has worked well on one of our production servers for over 6 months, handling about 500 mB of mail (over 10000 messages) per day. I think there may be others who are brave, and interested enough to want to try it. So I have published it on my web site at the following URL: http://www.zsd.co.za/~ian/software/pyscan/ It is free, GPL licence. If there is any significant interest, I will setup a mailing list for interested users.
