Virus scanners with amavis and fedora

[Dino Edwards]

I mean what specific issues are you having? Do you have Macro enabled encrypted word documents, encrypted PDFs? The reason I'm asking is because there MAY be things you can do already with Amavis and clamav to block a lot of those things.

They're not being caught properly :-)

The clamav filters just aren't updated sufficiently. And sophos is a joke.

I'm interested in getting something like f-secure or another commercial scanner working in conjunction with sophos and clamav. I've tried f-secure, and I can't get it configured properly.

Thanks,
Alex
