Announce: pyscan 0.3 antivirus filter released
Hello All
To those who may be interested. I have released an update to my
"pyscan" antivirus filter. It is available from
http://www.zsd.co.za/~ian/software/pyscan
This release is a bug fix release which sorts out a few outstanding
issues.
Pyscan is a filter system written in python. It filters e-mail based on the
Mime content headers. It does not make use of a database of known
virus signatures, nor does it require any commercial software.
Pyscan can reject an e-mail, or rename the attachment to prevent
inadvertent execution, depending on the name of the file extension
and the validity of the mime header information. It also sends
notification of its actions to recipients and senders.
Pyscan was written and tested using Exim ver 3.3 on a "Debian
woody" system. Although it should be possible to use it with Exim on
any platform that supports Python. Use with other MTA's may also be
possible, I have not looked into that. It is open source software
released under GPL licence.
