Hi folks,
Just to inform everyone that I've just installed Amavis along with Sophos Anti-Virus on the main Alug server to ensure that no nasty SirCam viruses (which yes, unfortunately, people are still sending to us) get out and about. I was sick of having to respond to people asking them to either install anti-virus software on their Windoze boxes or to get their definitions updated. Amavis responds automatically to infected senders to ensure they do keep their anti-virus software going.
Any messages in or out of these mailing lists will be scanned for any viruses and should anybody does send one, it'll be stopped and nuked along with a message sent to the sender to ensure they keep their virus scanners up to date (or to get one in the first place!).
For those that don't know what Amavis is, take a look at http://www.amavis.org - it integrates incredibly well into Sendmail, Exim and Qmail.
Regards,
Martyn
