Hi all again!

Better if it's an open source one instead of paying for it :-)

Well, my idea is to have a client-server deployment, so you know how it
goes: the server takes care of the updates, among other things, and
distributes them to the clients which will be in-sync with it. As you can
imagine, I'd like a setup like that to save some bandwidth usage as
it's "useless" to have n-clients downloading the same antivirus signatures...

I have thought of ClamAV as an initial approach to solve this. Maybe you
have a better suggestion, please let me know.

So, if I go finally for ClamAV I'd like to know what the best configuration
method would be to achieve such a client-server scenario.

Now, as for the antispam solution... I have DSPAM in mind... anyone here has
experienced integrating it with Postfix + Cyrus IMAP + MySQL ?
...or should I go for the "traditional" SpamAssassin? (nothing against it!
just asking...)


TIA and best regards,
Martin

I can't comment on AV but for our company spam filter I use ASSP:

http://assp.sourceforge.net/

It's an SMTP proxy so you can use it with whatever mail server you like (we
have Exchange 5.5 I'm sorry to say). Setting up is non-trivial - but then
again it's not brain surgery either - but once it's all set up you rarely
need to touch it. It seems quite accurate too (one false positive in about 8
months). Plus you get a great snake:

Cheers,

James.
