Antivirus plug-in

Sympa lets you use an external antivirus solution to check incoming mails. In this case you must set the antivirus_path and antivirus_args configuration parameters (see "Antivirus plug-in"). Sympa supports at least following products:

  • McAfee/uvscan
  • Fsecure/fsav
  • Sophos
  • AVP
  • Trend Micro/VirusWall
  • Clam Antivirus

For each email received, Sympa extracts its MIME parts in the $SPOOLDIR/tmp/antivirus directory and then calls the antivirus software to check them. When a malware is detected, Sympa looks for the name of it in the standard outout of virus checker and sends a warning message to the sender of the email using your_infected_msg.tt2 template. The email is saved as "bad" and the working directory is deleted (except if Sympa is running in debug mode).
