-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Short: AMaViS Mail Virus Scanner Author: Mogens Kjaer, Carlsberg Laboratory J|rgen Quade, Softing GmbH Christian Bricart Homepage: http://aachalon.de/AMaViS/ Uploader: Charlene Version: 0.2.0pre6 STATUS: Free, under the GNU General Public License AMaViS v0.2.0pre6 Readme [ Info taken from Webpage ] - ------------------------ Introduction Most people will say: "A virus scanner? For UN*X? Why? Viruses do not work in a UNIX environment." On the first glance they are right (even if there are at least two viruses which run under Linux - well, actually they are Trojan Horses) On the second view though, imagine a heterogene network environment with both UN*X and DOS / Windows / Macintosh workstations. Now think of an UN*X server that serves Windows and/or Macintosh workstations via a POP3 service. Would it not be nice to ensure attachments coming via email are scanned for viruses before they reach a system they are able to infect? Well - that is what this package is for. It resides on the server that handles your incoming mails. When a mail arrives, instead of being delivered via procmail directly, is parsed through a script that extracts aattachments from the mail, unpacks (if needed) and scannes them using a professional virus scanner program.
