You can check out a quick'n dirty doc I've made when I | installed a mail server with postfix, clamav etc. (ldap, spamassassin...) I can definately suggest clamav !!! I was able to setup sendmail to use it in less than 5 minutes.... Once I reallized what it actually was. I was originally only going to use the scaner part of clamav when I saw the filter benifit. It was extreemly easy to setup. Only had to change a few things from the default in the documentation. The directories changed...... You can go here and follow the simple instructions for Fedora for downloading and installing and updating via yum..... http://www.clamav.net/binary.html#pagestart Then start the `clamd' service and `clamav-milter' service... and setup everything. Be sure to start a cron job for `freshclam' ... or start it as a demon.... Also, be sure to `chkconfig --level 345' for the above services as well... Be sure to look at the documentation also; but, be aware that the documentation is not completely correct. An example: the documentation lists that the filter socket connection is /var/run/clmilter.sock.... this is slightly wrong. The script that runs the service puts the socket as /var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock.... | | http://freshrpms.net/docs/mail-server/ | | Matthias | | -- | Clean custom Red Hat Linux rpm packages : http://freshrpms.net/ | Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow) - Linux kernel 2.6.1-1.61 | Load : 1.20 0.91 0.67 | | | -- | fedora-list mailing list | fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx | To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
