RE: [cobalt-users] Qube 2 Viri scanners

["Mark Spieth" <mspieth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem is that I have never seen a virus scanner for the MIPS
processor. SHould one be available you could probably hack amavis to scan
emails using it. We currently run raq3's in which we scan all incoming
emails via amavis.  http://satan.oih.rwth-aachen.de/AMaViS/

Subject: [cobalt-users] Qube 2 Viri scanners


Are they available as an RPM?

We are getting more and more of our users receiving 'joke' emails that
usually have embedded cartoons etc, but we fear that a rogue 'cartoon' could
come through with a trojan (or whatever).  We had an instance two weeks ago
whereby a user was sent the Prettypark.exe as an attachment.  Thankfully I
caught it coming through admin account as the sender's infected machine
labelled the To: field with whatever it was, but the envelope was set to a
user here.  Had we corrected the envelope problem (Jeff Lasman knows what
I'm on about), then our clueless user here it was destined for would've
opened it and infected our little Qube2 :|

Is it viable for the Qube2 to run such a module?  Or should we look at
protecting each workstation?  We realise that the more cost effective
solution would be to scan for viri on the Qube2, given the number of
workstations we have feeding from it.

Any help you can provide will be gratefully received :)
