To check mail server for virus

satimis · 11-07-2007, 01:44 AM

Hi folks,

Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64
Postfix 2.3.8

I'm following;

Test ClamSMTP for incoming Mail from the Internet
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Po...xClamSmtpHowto

However the test on sending harmless test mails is not availble on;
http://www.webmail.us/email-traffic

Please advise are there similar sites, other than "http://www.gfi.com/emailsecuritytest/", can be hooked for such test. TIA

B.R.

One of the standard tests is to send the Eicar test virus (you'll find it at spamassassin.apache.org - their site seems to be unavailable at the moment).

By the way, the most common way of using clamav with postfix is through amavisd-new. It's pretty simple to set up and lets you do spam chaecking and add other virus filters as well

Thanks for your advice.

I haven't installed clamav and clamsmtp yet.

$ apt-cache policy clamav

Code:

clamav:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.90.2-0ubuntu1.4

        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/universe Packages

$ apt-cache policy clamsmtp

Code:

  Version table:

I also found amavisd-new on repo;

$ apt-cache policy amavisd-new

Code:
