Scanner for mail
There are two possible mechanisms to protect email-users over a mail server
from a virus :
_ Hook into mail server and scanning the email
Nearly 90% gave me the advise to take AMAVIS and scan the mail with some
scanner.
_ Hook into the smpt-protocol like a fire-wall
Two answers gave me the advise to take InterScann VirusWall from Trend Micro
FileScanner
I_m now testing the first method, it was a short job with AMAVIS and the
Sophos virus scanner and the very good documentation

Thanks for all the help.
