I also just received a follow-up from f-prot and have their trial
working with amavisd. It's really simple. Now to evaluate how
effective it is above what we already have. I don't think they'd mind
forwarding on their comments regarding how to get started:

"Our Antivirus works with most flavors of Linux. You can see the
system requirements here:
http://www.cyren.com/f-prot-antivirus-for-linux-mail-servers

Here are the trial versions (Linux Mail Server is listed):
http://www.f-prot.com/download/trial/

There is a manual here:
http://www.f-prot.com/support/unix/unix_faq/23.html

There is a product support library of information here to help guide
you: https://kb.cyren.com/av-support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/List/Index/36/f-prot-antivirus
You can also email f-prot.support at cyren.com if you need help on
something specific."

To get it working with amavisd, just uncomment the following section
in your amavisd.conf after installing, or add it if it's not already
there. Restart amavisd.

# ### http://www.f-prot.com/
# ['F-Prot fpscand',  # F-PROT Antivirus for BSD/Linux/Solaris, version 6
#   \&ask_daemon,
#   ["SCAN FILE {}/*\n", '127.0.0.1:10200'],
#   qr/^(0|8|64) /m,
#   qr/^([1235679]|1[01345]) |<[^>:]*(?i)(infected|suspicious|unwanted)/m,
#   qr/(?i)<[^>:]*(?:infected|suspicious|unwanted)[^>:]*: ([^>]*)>/m ],

Select NO when prompted to "add virus scanning to your MTA setup".

Thanks for this. I'm now in communication with them directly regarding
how to work with their SAVAPI product.

Thanks,
