My big success in server admin over the last month has been solving this perenial problem. We were getting so much spam and now so many SoBig virii that it wa becoming a huge problem at three sites I am involved in.
This is what I did, it's free and works perfectly. **************************************************************************** ******************************************* Install ClamAV - You don't need Sophos, OpenVirus is excellent and free. http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/testing/7.3/postfix2/clamav/ Install Spamassassin http://useast.spamassassin.org/released/RPMs/ Remove the cron jobs that run and update spamassassin and freshclam, MailScanner does this anyway and more frequently Do not customize spamassasin or clamav, MailScanner only uses the binaries and libraries, ignores the configs Install MailScanner fromn RPM - run install.sh http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/files/4/rpm/MailScanner-4.22-5.rp m.tar.gz Guide: http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/linux.shtml Enable Virus Scanning in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf Make sure you have disabled sendmail as MailScanner starts it in a wrapper. Should work beautifully. Watch the logs, check the virus databases are gettting updated hourly, make sure mail is being scanned. I also installed f-prot worstation (free) and enabled in MailScanner, it will use it to scan the mail also, if you are really paranoid. http://www.f-prot.com/download/home_user/download_fplinux.html Chris Mason [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 264 497-5670 Fax: 264 497-8463 www.netconcepts.ai -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
