[plug] email virus scanning

[Bernard]

When I get around to it, a new gateway will be in order and due to a
virus scare today on numerous windows machines, it'll be having
email virus scanning implemented. I've had a look around and decided
to use MailScanner (http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner).
Anybody have any opinions on this or known catch-me-outs?

I'm curious as how it uses McAfee. After much scrounging I found the
elnx4140.zip file from McAfee's FTP server, not mentioned on their
website. It contains a library called liblnxfv.so which I take it
is the scanning engine. I know I will find out when I install the
gateway, but do I need anything else such as an executable of some
sort to do the scanning?

On a different note, one Windows ME machine downloaded 150MB worth
of updates over two nights without even telling anybody. Grrrr. Bye
bye $25 of downloads. Squid now blocks windowsupdate.microsoft.com.
Anyone with Me machines on the network, beware.

Regards,

Bernard.
