Re: Mail Server Virus Protection
I have set up a server with exiscan along with McAfee VirusScan for Linux
and it has worked quite well.
The only problem is that messages aren't delivered immediately, there are
queued until the exiscan script checks them for virus's. Exim normally
attempts to deliver mail straight away.
Apart from that I am rather happy with it.
