It would be a very nice inclusion. Right now the only issue i see is the need for some configuration to make it work nice i.e setting up the dual configs and dual mail spool dirs though it shouldnt be to hard to implement in the post install script. i am willing to work on this. There seems to be more than one outstanding RFE requesting the inclusion of mailscanners and antivirus products... I'm just here to cast another vote, hoping that it will actually help! It is really important(IMHO) that this kind of functionality is included in the core product(if at all possible) as it's barely responsible setting up a mail server without these abilities nowadays... We may not be affected by vira under linux but some clients on a lot of linux-powered networks are... Also, could someone please move this bug to devel, where it's probably better placed?!? i concur, mailscanner would be very nice. can someone please move this to devel? This kind of thing should really go into extras now, so move it there! i actullay ended up having to move to amavis. i was missing mail i was expecting looking in the logs the mail got lost with mailscanners dual queue's and postfix. which is unsupported so i would sugest that amavis gets in extras instead of mailscanner. amavis does not seem supported anymore. last release is 17 months old, and in that time many new kinds of virus attacks and malware have been released. amavisd-new is under active development, but it is very beta. mailscanner at least gets regular updates and development. it is well tested and supported, at least for sendmail. is postfix officially supported by fedora? yes postfix is well supported on fedora, I use the RPMS supplied in the distro. i should have been clearer i use amavis-new, I think most people using amavis actually use amavis-new. but i think that both mailscanner and amavisd-new have there place. but they would both belong in extras as that is where clamav lives also. i mean is postfix officially supported. for example there are jfs, xfs and reiserfs tools in fedora also, but these filesystems are "unsupported" by fedora. its supported and has been since at least RH7.0 mailscanner was/is easy to install and i had no problems under fc2, fc3, fc4, fc5. my other solution was apt-get install mailscanner closed ciao |
