AMaViS
AMaViS (A Mail Virus Scanner) scans e-mail attachments for
viruses
using third-party virus scanners available for UNIX
environments.
In other words, AMaViS is a script that interfaces a mail
transport agent (MTA) with one or more virus scanners.
It
resides on a Linux machine and looks through the attached files
arriving via e-mail, generates reports when a virus is found and sets
the delivery on hold.
The currently supported MTAs are courier, exim, qmail,
postfix, and sendmail.
