Probably the best thing for you to use, is
MailScanner.
and it can be found at
mailscanner.info

MailScanner can scan all incoming mail for spam and viruses before it ever
gets to the mail client.

I use it and it works very well.

mailscanner is used inconjunction with spamassassin and other antivirus
software like f-prot or clamav
clam antivirus is a free antivirus package but the updates are not as
forth coming or as up to date as most other packages out there.

[Cheryl Homiak]

In case anybody wants to know, both mailscanner and clamav come as debian
packages. Mailscanner takes apparently some work to set up, and apparently
there's some problem with an upgrade the package doesn't support if you
use the debian package.

I've had problems with clamav wrongly detecting viruses. it says that 
the dosemu freedos binaries are infected with some dos virus but when 
scanned with norton corporate under winblows it doesnt find anything.

RE: courier antivirus software

[Dawes, Stephen]

No!  Cheryl the first part of your message is not true. 

MailScanner takes no time at all to set up. It comes pretty much ready
to go off the shelf. If you need to make changes to the configuration,
it is perhaps one of the most well documented conf file that I have ever
seen, and therefore easy to tweak. Additionally, the MailScanner writer,
and mail list are fabulous in helping anyone with their problems in
getting it up and running. I say this from first hand experience. Dr.
Fielding, the author of MailScanner, help me personally when I was
having problems getting MailScanner up and running the first time. Even
though, in the end, the problem was not MailScanner, but instead
sendmail. 

Be careful making such sweeping statements when they are not true.

Re: courier antivirus software

[Janina Sajka]

I recognize the exim seems to be the default choice on Debian
installations. However, I took exim out in favor of sendmail because
exim failed the security test from:

telnet  cygnus.mail-abuse.org

I don't want to contribute spam by being a possible unwitting relay
agent.

Please note, this was my experience last year about this time. Your
mileage may vary and, indeed, things might have changed with exim.

Hi.  I just ran the test at cygnus.mail-abuse.org and my exim passed
with no problems.  I'm running exim 3.361 on Debian unstable.
Thanks for the link since I didn't know of an easy way to confirm my
setup was working ok.

Re: courier antivirus software

Glad to hear exim is working as it should now. At the time I had my
problem I could find no way to configure exim that would avoid the
problem mail-abuse reported. And, I was up live.

Re: courier antivirus software

[Cheryl Homiak]

Hmm, actually I'd been hearing about security holes in sendmail, but I'm
afraid at this point I don't have any of the info I received to share with
you. That has probably been about a year ago also.
But your point is well taken, Janina; will look into it.

Re: courier antivirus software

[Janina Sajka]

Cheryl, you are so right. The difference, I think, is how quickly these
holes are patched. The mail-abuse site is one very easy way to test your
MTA against some common exploits.

www.MailScanner.info has excellent documentation on how to configure
MailScanner with a number of different MTA's including exim.

If you like, I can share my different config files with you, so that you
can see how I have done things. I am using postfix, but the
configuration is vary similar for both exim and postfix.

Let me know if you want my configs and I will send them on to you.
