Hello,

Can this software be easily adapted to perform trend analysis for incoming
viruses? I don't run spam assassin on my servers, but I do run virus
scanners, and a few months ago I asked the list if anyone knew of a program
that could analyze qmail-scanner's syslog and automatically add an IP
address to /etc/tcp.smtp if that IP sends over x number of viruses through
the mail server in y amount of time.

I'd like to find a way to do this because I've frequently noticed that the
vast majority of my daily viruses come from one or two DSL or Cable dialup
IPs, and usually they arrive in a 30 minute or 1 hour burst. It would be
great if I could just block such IPs in /etc/tcp.smtp after the first 5 or
10 viruses.

Can SpamGuardian be easily adapted to do this?

Thanks!
