I'm not running a production system yet, but I have a test system running Cyrus to replace our current UWimapd based solution as soon as the new hardware for it arrives. On the test system, which is behaving very well, I have, besides Cyrus 2.1.11, Sendmail 8.12.6 and AmaVis (http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/) (via the milter interface), with SpamAssassin 2.43 (http://spamassassin.sourceforge.net/) and Clam AntiVirus (http://clamav.elektrapro.com/). A cronjob downloads the new virus database once a day. The new Sobig virus got first detected on Jan 14h, which is 5 days after its breakout, iirc. I have not enough experience with other anti-virus solutions to decide whether 5 days is a fast or rather a slow response. Maybe, the big commercial players have better response times. It would be nice to have a specs/features matrix of the available virus scanners. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Piet RUYSSINCK e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unix Systeem Administratie tel: +32 9 264 4733 Directie Informatie- en Communicatietechnologie (ICT) fax: +32 9 264 4994 Universiteit Gent (RUG) Krijgslaan 281, gebouw S9 - 9000 Gent, Belgie -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments See http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html
