clam and f-prot were easy. I had to fiddle a bit with the automatic updates, but that's because I'm a born fiddler. Amavisd-new was a little challenging ( If you don't know perl, it will be a lot challenging) but if you're using spamassassin you already know your way around enough to get by. The hardest part was setting up the spam quarantine directory and getting sa-learn to process it automatically. >I already have a postfix + spamassassin (user, not site-wide) setup >working wonderfully, but I am looking to have some virus protection as >well, and since I have a few other users on my system (who all use >SpamAssasssin individually), I might as well switch to a server-wide >setup. Running without a virus check in this day and age is probably more dangerous than unprotected sex - you're more certain to catch something on the computer. >Just wondering if you had any links to quick-setup howtos or anything >like that before I research the documentation of amavisd-new and clamav >independently.
