Mail server - Content Scanning

Dr Solomon · 02-10-2002, 11:43 AM

Hi one and all

Does anybody know of a product which could provide these services all in one? I'm looking for something geared towards the needs of an ISP. Even if the Antivirus was of another vendor like Sophos I would still consider it. I have looked at Trend Micro but this hasn't quite suited my needs (price wise!). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Take a look at either Amavis http://www.amavis.org/ or MailScanner http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/. Both are free and will work with pretty much any virus-scanning program of your choice. MailScanner also has hooks for using SpamAssassin, in case you want to do content-based spam filtering.

You could also try inflex http://www.pldaniels.com/inflex/about.html

It's not that difficult to configure, integrates w/ most virus scanners (we use MacAfee mainly because w/ needed Mac+PC+Linux support), and can be configured to do content based filtering. We do our spam checking at the sendmail level, before the virus scanner ever sees the message.

It pretty much uses sendmail, but could probably be modified to run w/ other MTAs.
