Virus protect for Postfix

Hi,

I'm looking for an antivirus solution with my configuration.

I use postfix with fetchmail and I wanna get a free antivirus :-)

Thanks for your propositions.

Clam Antivirus with Clamassassin. Very easy to use if you use procmail.
Not too familliar with fetchmail so I can't help there.

Our mail server delivers mail via procmail. Procmail then passes each
piece of mail through a script (Clamassassin) which uses Clam Antivirus
scanner. When finished, it's passed back to procmail for further
filtering and or final delivery to users' mailboxes. This works better
than anything I tried previously. Clam Antivirus is a great (free)
antivirus product and it works! It also updates itself automatically (via
a cron job) every night which makes it nice.

Try amavisd-new.
It is filter between mail server and several virus scanners. Check list of
supported, some of them are free. I use mks, and like it.

Other way to kill viruses is by blocking mail when envelope sender does
not match IP, the email came from. Search for spf to get idea. Postfix has
policy_delegation mechanism, which allows to do that kind of checks. One
good filter for postfix is rmxf: rmxf.comm.pl
It's much faster than full scaning and doesn't require updated databases,
but it has some false positives, and false negatives too.
