Well the idea came from the Linux Journal article a while back. It was designed specifically to build an anti-virus solution. I removed the shell script that did the checking and wrote a perl replacement (my glue). It should be easy to plug back in a virus checker to the code. > I just looked at qpsmtpd (http://develooper.com/code/qpsmtpd/) but that's > written in Perl and I've had bad experiences with Perl as basis for mail > servers that are likely under a heavy load. Yes you still have the perl overhead with the glue script and SA, but that is minimised by having the script running permanently and using spamd. > There's also smtpd-sd(http://sd.inodes.org/), which is where I've started. > > I'd be glad to collaborate with you if you're interested. Well I'd be happy to let anyone see the script and my notes. I had to do some mods to smtpd because it was rather too zealous at blocking email. One proviso is you don't laugh at my perl, I'm not very good at it :) -- Ian MacDougall *********************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY.
