[Mimedefang] mimedefang and trend micro's interscan viruswall

[Stephen Loeckle]

I have Sendmail 8.12.8 running Interscan for Linux 3.7 (sandwich config)
with MD 2.3 and SA 2.50. I do not allow SA/MD use any virus features or
DNSBL. I let trend does what it's best at: Scanning for viruses by
itself. I've done a little static load balancing with the daemons.
Outside daemon does DNSBL then we have the trend daemon and then the
third delivery daemon. The last daemon does the SA/MD processing. It's a
bit of work, but once you do it, it works great and efficiently too! If
this sounds like your current and/or desired setup let me know.

Subject: [Mimedefang] mimedefang and trend micro's interscan viruswall

I am installing mimedefang2.29 for the first time on a Solaris 8 box 
running sendmail 8.12.8.  I run Trend Micro's Inter Scan Viruswall as
virus 
filter and SpamAssassin as spam filter.

I have InterScan v3.6 for solaris sendmail switch version running.  When

installing mimedefang, it sees the InterScan filter and when mimedefang
is 
up running it rejects virus affected attachment.   But it doesn't seam
to 
use inter scan's tools, such as iscan's viurs log, and other features in

the intscan.ini file.

When I tried to run interscan as a separate plug-in, and I can then use
all 
the tools.

My questions are:

1) If I run interscan trhough mimedefang, should I use the sendmail
switch 
version or the standard Solaris version?

2) Should I be able to use interscan tools when running it through
mimedefang?

3) CPU usage is one of our major concerns.  Will running interscan 
separately add a heavy load to the system?

Thanks for any help and suggestions.
