[Mimedefang] Trend Anti-Virus question

[Michael Haro]

I'm also looking into switching from the sendmail edition on solaris to
something else (sun ram is too expensive)...

It would probably be less complicated to just use the linux vscan method
with mimedefang, but another method I noticed is that you can run the
milter server on the sun box and have the linux sendmail call it.  It
works over tcp.  This would be a hit to your network though, but it
works.

Subject: [Mimedefang] Trend Anti-Virus question


Hi - currently we are running Sendmail's commercial package (Sendmail 
Switch) on Solaris 8. We use the Trend Interscan Viruswall Sendmail 
edition with it. (Basically a milterized version of the normal 
product.)

We are planning in the next few weeks to migrate to the Linux platform 
- a big impetus for the move is to get some bigger, beefier hardware so 
that we can start using the Mimedefang / Spamassassin combo. (Our 
current Solaris machine can't handle it - I set it up and had it 
running but it would bring the machine to its knees. (It's a 
single-processor Netra running at  650mhz with 640 meg ram.))

Anyway ... to make a long question short, apparently Trend does not 
make a milterized version of Viruswall fpr linux, but I see that 
Mimedefang is able to call it. Could I start using this combination 
instead of our current one? Would I lose any functionality? Would I 
just install the standard Interscan Viruswall for linux and mimedefang 
should be able to auto-detect it?

Thanks in advance.
