Well, a quite number of times since that post three weeks ago, your
point you cared about has been mentioned specifically on this list.
Just to see what would happen, I just went to the searchable list
archives (linked halfway down the page at www.procmail.org) and
plugged your words in: "virus scanner". One of the posts that
came up in the first few was this one, also from Gary:
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/procmail/2004-02/msg00425.html
And in that, he printed the exact link to one such "includable"
plug-in.
Sorry, it didn't say "virussnag" in the last post, it said 'virus_scan.rc'
and so I had hopes that it was NOT the simple procmail 'virussnag' recipes
I already knew about, but instead was a real virus scanner linked into
procmail. I *do* follow the postings on here, and had already reviewed
'virussnag' and determined that it did little more than my own home-grown
double-extension checks.
No, what I'm looking for is something like CLAMAV, but which can be called
from procmail to work on a message in mbox format. CLAMAV has that
capability, but it is still not 'recommended' - they say the code is
unstable. I want a virus scanner with a decent 'update' mechanism for new
signatures. Unfortunately we're a community ISP, big user base, no
dollars. So most paid options are out of the question. Thanks anyways.
