aioshin Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 ok, I have tried amavis-new with clamav and postfix, but have'nt tried mailscanner yet, but I'm sure that some from here have tried it, so maybe you can share the good and not so good experience on any of the two. . Why Im asking this is because I am planning to implement a permanent spam and virus control on the email server of my client.. but due to not enough budget, we have to go on opensource ... . TIA :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I implemented a solution with clamav and amavisd-new running on Gentoo with postfix. Works a treat once you get it all configured up correctly. The only thing I had to do was run clamav under the amavis user and group accounts to solve the permissioning problems trying to run them as separate accounts clamav or amavis.

aioshin Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 yeah, that's what I did with the set-up, based also with the docs i've read, clamav will be owned by amavis user and group.... . but what about mailscanner, have you tried it?

ianw1974 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 No, never tried mailscanner as of yet. I might give it a go when I next get some spare time to test a server and have a go at it. At the time I built, I had no idea on what I was doing, so was easier to follow the howto's. Next time, I can try something different! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
