You can go for a full commenrcial scanner with updates. I find a simple cron job almost as effective (and I don't need to run untrusted code to download stuff to my computer). There are a number of free scanner frameworks . http://www.openantivirus.org has an faq with many links, but I don't know if it is still maintained. Also try to look in freshemat for "virus" and you're bound to come up with some results. I personally use postfix and AVP, withamavis-perl as the framework. Note that I needed a recent enough version of postfix (the one from Mandrake 7.2 was not recent enough) because only the the mail filtering interface was added to postfix. exim and sendmail have a general-purpose mail filtering interface. I'm not sure about qmail. As for OpenAntiVirus that I mentioned above: when I last looked at it, its FAQ was a useful resource of links (for all sorts of scanning and filtering). There are also some people there working on a free virus scanner. They have already produced an alpha version , but it seems highly inefficient (let alone the fact that it iswritten in java). -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
