Q: AntiVir for Linux - avupdater


Hi.

I just installed AntiVir Workstation for Linux. The antivir executable works fine. The automatic update tool, avupdater, starts up as a service and seems to be working, too.

My question is, do I need to have any particular mail daemon (i.e. sendmail, qmail, etc) running on my system in order for avupdater to use its e-mail notification feature? This feature allows avupdater to send alerts to the specified e-mail account. The README file makes no mention of any prerequisite for this feature.

I am currently using this Linux box as a desktop system, and I am hoping I won't have to run any daemon that is not necessary. Could someone shed some light on this?

TIA,
Dai
