People,

Just wanting to get a quick idea on opinions of exiscan for exim as a
mail attachment
virus scanner. I have implemented it on a development system and it
looks to work quite
nicely. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who is using it and
if they have any
good/bad stories to tell about it. (Hopefully all good!) :).

I am using Exim 3.33 and Exiscan 2.2. on Solaris 8 with Mcafee virus
scan for Solaris.

If you haven't heard of it check out the website.

http://duncanthrax.net/exiscan/

Runs as a perl program that works directly on the mail queue and
supports most
Unix/Linux virus scanning packages.

Thanks,

Scott
