[TriLUG] anti-virus mail gateway

[Glenn Meyer]

This looked like something I really wanted to implement so I started 
digging a little.  I have installed MailScanner 4.11-1 and Clam 0.54 on 
Red Hat 7.1 with Sendmail.

The install went very smoothly and the instructions are very good (Hey, 
I was able to follow them and I'm fairly newbie still).

The only issue I have run into is that when I modify the 
/etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf file from:
Virus Scanners = none
To:
Virus Scanners = clamav
The mail all builds up in /var/spool/mqueue.in and never clears.  If I 
change it back to none, it flows normally.

Clam seems to be working fine when I run a manual scan (haven't figured 
out how to tell if it is scanning other times or not).

Can anyone give me a few pointers please?


Thank you for pointing me to this product too.  I especially want to try 
to work with the "Offensive" filtering capabilities to protect the kids.
