Greetings,
I am a big fan of this patch:
http://qmail.org/qmail-smtpd-viruscan-1.3.patch
Since installing it, me and about 2000 others stopped getting MS viruses/worms. I am currently in the process of migrating a mail server over to new hardware and thought I would see what was new in the qmail arena. Then I found shupp.org and learned of netqmail and the qmail-toaster patch - nifty! After installing this patch:
http://shupp.org/patches/qmail-toaster-0.6.patch.bz2
I get this when trying to install the qmail-smtpd-viruscan-1.3.patch - any advice is appreciated since although I don't run Windows, a lot of people around here do and they will get on my case if all this mydoom nonsense starts creeping through
My recommendation is to use the qmail-scanner/clamav solution rather than this virus patch. Netqmail already comes with the qmailqueue patch, which is required for qmail-scanner to work. And clamav already had MyDoom added to its virus definitions before MyDoom had a name (that's why they called it WORM.SCO.A (meaning the clamav guys are very much on the ball). Since using this solution, I have not had a complaint of a single virus getting through.
Regards,
Bill Shupp
