Re:I'd pay five bucks for my MOTHER-IN-LAW

Re:wouldn't it be simpler
two examples of linux anti virus follow/;
http://www.centralcommand.com/linux_products.html
http://www.drweb-online.com/en/index.asp
(included in some distros such as mandrake 9.2) -
Vexira Antivirus
It has a very similar licencing scheme to what RAV used to offer (before they were bought out by The Evil Empire. They license by domain, with a maximum of 3000 users.
It integrates easily with any MTA (works as a proxy), including my favorite qmail. Runs over Linux and various *BSD's. I've succesfully installed it over Debian (even thought only RPM packages are provided - they can be easily converted to .deb or whatever other package format your distro uses with the help of Alien). And you could always use it together with ClamAV, to doule-check your mail messages for viruses.
They also offer an antivirus solution for Samba servers, which provides real-time scanning and blocking of files when opened/closed from the network. It comes with a fixed price for server with an unlimited number of users and shares to protect.
The recomendation may com from a little closer - my company is a Vexira Reseller. But all in all it's a good solution and IMHO it has the most convenient licencing scheme.
For more info visit: Vexira Website.

Here's a much simpler system:
1) Router checks machine for known exploits.
Anyway, how would the AV company even know if the machine was running the "real" software in your scenario? It wouldn't anymore then the router. The entire concept of checking for AV software is rediculous. They only mentioned "security mesures", they probably consider running Linux or MacOS a security mesure in and of itself like most people do. Only the most deranged person in the world would consider restricting a network to windows machines would be a good way to make it more secure!
By the way, you can get AV software for the mac, and, linux and even OpenBSD . There are exploits and even viruses for Linux. -

Re:Replacing RAV for QMail on Linux?
We use Vexira with Postfix on Linux. It also works with Qmail. It works great, and it updates the definitions file automatically. There is an evaluation version available.

Re:maybe I'm just a half-full kinda guy...
We're (the company I work for) in the process of looking for a replacement for RAV since we got wind of the buyout. I've done a bit of looking around, and found Vexira. They have AV solutions for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Sendmail, Qmail, Postfix, and Exim. It seems to have a moderately priced liscensing scheme- $200/year for 6000 users and 200 domains for the Sendmail product- less expensive than RAV. They also offer a free trial on their products. If anyone's had experience (good or bad) with Vexira's products, please comment below
-
A bit more detail
Cantral Command (also known as the Vexira Anti-Virus people have a good bit more detail -- including a password list. If historical data is any indication, I'd expect about a 10-20% hit ratio just with the password 'password' (and simple variants thereof).

Vexira Anti-Virus
Most anti-virus software runs on Windows operating systems (for obvious reasons).
If you're looking for a solution to run on a Linux server (but still check for MS viruses), check out Vexira antivirus. It is inexpensive, automatically updates via cron, unpacks attachments (even multiple levels), and has an integrated virus checker. It can check incoming or outgoing email, or both.
I installed it about 3 weeks ago and I'm very happy with the results. It can be installed as a sendmail "Milter" if you're running a very recent version of sendmail, or as a separate SMTP server that passes the mail along to sendmail via a pipe or a different port (once it's been checked). They have a trial version so you can see if it will work before you buy it.
Most other email virus checkers require a separate program to virus check-- which means you need a MS virus checker that runs under Linux, such as Kaspersky, f-prot, or Sophos.

Re:You have not seen Vexira Antivirus Rescue Disk

You have not seen Vexira Antivirus Rescue Disk CD?I work for Central Command the company that produces Vexira Antivirus so be careful you might find a few biased statements here
:-) We have Vexira Antivirus Rescue Disk (VARD) which is a bootable CD-ROM and diskette virus scanner that runs entirely in RAM. It's based on a debian micro kernel and includes a easy to follow menu. It can update the latest virus database and virus scanning engine also! Yes, even if you are using the CD-ROM version. You just need to download updates onto a floppy and select the update option on the main menu. VARD will pull them into RAM.It will boot and mount most any file system: Microsoft FAT 16, FAT 32, VFAT, NTFS, Linux ext2, ReiserFS and UMSDOS, IBM OS/2 HPFS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and Unix UFS, CD-ROM ISO9660, Minix, FreeVxFS, Veritas VxFS, System V, Xenix, V7, and UDF.
The VARD is free BTW.

Vexira MailarmorI am the SysAdmin for a large ISP here in the UK and we use Vexira Mailarmor together with Sendmail and Milter We have about 500 concurrent connections all day long and we tried many different antivirus vendors but chose Vexira because it could handle this amount of users without a problem.
What do I like best about Vexira?
Unpacks and extracts all MIME encoded messages without needing any other helper apps
Automatic updating
Very fast virus scanning
Reasonable price
We tested and evaluated vexira for about a month and it was clear that this app is a awesome antivirus.

Pedantic Man: The plural of virus is NOT viriiI repeat, the plural of virus is NOT virii.
This page explains in great detail why not:
http://language.perl.com/misc/virus.html
Additional support:
http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=vi
r usA search on Google for "viruses" turns up 1,480,000 hits.
A search on Google for "virii" turns up 38,200 hits.Any technical literature written by professionals will NEVER EVER USE THE WORD VIRII! IT'S NOT A REAL WORD! The plural of "virus" is "viruses"!
http://www.mcafee.com - on the FRONT PAGE the word "viruses" is printed several times. "Virii" is not.
http://www.centralcommand.com - same deal.
I'm going to keep posting this on every virus story that comes up until everyone gets the damn hint!

GET A DAMN CLUE PEOPLE!!!
It seems just about every damn virus nowadays spreads via Outlook or Outlook Express which is too bad
But has anybody (specially Timothy) actually paid any attention to the damn stories?
Nowhere in these stories is it claimed that Sircam uses Outlook to spread! Maybe Timothy got the idea from reading this CNN article.
Geez, people, do you believe everything that CNN says? It's not like I really expect CNN to get this right, but
/. readers are supposed to be better than that!In fact, the Wired news clearly says that the virus serves as it's own SMTP client. A lot about this virus in fact resembles how the Judge Disemboweler virus operates.
The only thing that can be interpreted as using Outlook to spread itself is the fact that it takes its e-mail addresses from Windows Address Book files; however it will also try to get addresses from some files in the 'Temporary Internet Files' folder. This means it should be able to spread without any need for Outlook (just some e-mail client and a user naive enough to run the attachment) and without Windows Address Files.
All the usual sources of virus information seem to agree about this virus serving as its own SMTP client. Please check for yourselves:
