Scanning for Windows Viruses in Linuxland?
rmmeyer asks: "I'm in the process of building an e-mail server for my company with a new twist. Since most of the clients are going to be Windows based (don't go there, I can't change 'em) and running Outlook (I know, I know...) I need to be able to scan the incoming and outgoing Emails for viruses. A quick check on Freshmeat shows fourty-nine projects related to email viruses. I intend to use Sendmail for the MTA with the milter API for scanning. There appear to be several commercial anti-virus scanners for Linux and at least one Open Source scanner. What are the community's experiences doing this? We expect to have 150 clients and potentially several thousand incoming Emails per day. Points are added for solutions that also include the capability of scanning Samba shares! =)" Ask Slashdot last touched on this issue in this article, from early March of last year, and before that in another article from October of 2000. I'm sure things have changed greatly since then.
