That is the current design of emailscan, to only check local users.
I'm currently working on a new version of email scan that a server can
use (and not _just_) a local users.

That version should be available after the first of the year.

[Emailscan-devel] virus handling

[Dc Ad <dc...@ya...>]

Hi, I have installed emailscan and integrated with
virus scanner 'uvscan'. But the problem is that when I
send a mail with a viru to a local user and make a cc
to remote user or just send it to remote user alone,
the mail is not checked for viruses FOR REMOTE USER.
The local user never gets the mail cos' it is blocked
but the remote receiver get it with virus.
How can that be stopped?
Thanks and waiting fot the answer.

Hello all,I am trying  sendmail and procmail
combination. I am a newbie to sendmail and
procmail. What i want to do is pass the mails from
procmail to an external
virus scanner.
In sendmail.cf file I have :
Mlocal,         P=/usr/bin/procmail,
F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=10/30, R=20/40,              
 T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u     
In my /etc/procmailrc I have :
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail      #you'd better make sure it
exists
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/procmail.log   #recommended
SENDMAIL=/usr/bin/sendmail
FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail
:0
| /usr/bin/emailscan  
Then I will be asking emailscan to invoke Mcaffee
Antivirus.
Is there something wrong with the setup? I am able to
send mails without been
scanned to my local SMTP server. I am using offline
mailer, where it quesues
messages it receives and then when I connect to net I
give command sendmail -q
-v
Thanks a lot and eagerly waiting for the reply.
Bye.
