Summary: Feature Request: pop3vscan
Initial Comment:
Hi,
I just found http://pop3vscan.sourceforge.net. It's a transparent
virus scanning proxy for POP3 mail attachments. They are
de-MIMEed and send to an external file virus scanner of your
choice.
I'd love to see it in Devil Linux. AFIK it's the only way to battle mail
viruses if your POP3 mailbox and mail server is outside of your DL
firewalled net and only POP3 clients are inside.
Some features (exerpt from their web site):
No client configuration necessary: Because POP3VScan is a full
transparent proxy nothing but the scanning-server has to be
configured.
Fast scanning: POP3VScan supports the Kaspersky Anti-Virus
Daemon (kavd) and the Trophie Daemon (which uses the
Trend-AV Engine). Using kavd a Pentium-133 was able to scan
nearly 500 mails in just one minute!
deMIMEing: Since most scanners doesn't support decoding of
MIME-Messages we have to do, for high-speed we have it
built-in (using ripmime).
Flexible scanner-configuration: Almost every scanner can be
configured easily. Just set the capabilities of your scanner, the
exit-code it gives when a mail is found and make a regular-
expression which tells how to extract the virusname.
Notification: Instead of the virus we send a notification to the
client, which can be customized using a template.
Written in C ...which means that it's faster than using a
script-language.
It's free POP3VScan is released under the General Public License
(GPL), which means that it's free to use and also the source is
available.
