[KLUG Members] RE: CLAMAV?

[Bob Kanaley]

Adam,

The least expensive, best email AV product I could find was Vexira for
Linux/FreeBSD/OpenBSD Mail Domains
http://www.centralcommand.com/mailserver_products.html. I have been running
it on my Postfix email server for a little over a year and I like it.

It is advertised as Vexira Antivirus for Mail servers Linux edition
(SendMail, Sendmail+Milter, Qmail, Postfix, Exim, SuSE). It installs as a
MTA filter (recommended) or as a stand alone daemon that catches port 25
traffic, scans and passes on to whatever alt port you set your MTA to listen
at.

I suspect you could read the docs and figure out how to make it work with
Cyrus IMAP. Pricing is per domain and is cheap versus any other alternative.
The first year subscription price for a single domain is $199.95. Renewal
was $99.

I run a cron job that checks for updates every 40 minutes. It claims to have
been one of the first to catch the last great MS worm.

I figured I would give OpenAntiVirus one more year to mature before I signed
on with them.

Anyone using the Open Source CLAMAV?

Our old commercial package from NAI stinks, the M$-FTP server you get
updates from is always either S-L-O-W or down, and crashes on RH9.  (Not
to mention the $1,200 price tag).

Lookin' for an alternative.
