Subject: [BlueOnyx:00918] Clam AV


I have never installed any anti-virus on Linux! However, for email from 
Windows machines have been looking at ClamAV, together with MailScanner and 
Spamassassin.

Went to the Clam AV site and followed the link to Dag Wieers packages. From 
here I have downloaded the RHEL5 and CentOS-5 rpm (clamav-0.95-1) Is this 
the correct rpm?

(Tried yum search but no match found for both Clamav or MailScanner.)

What other packages should also be installed?
(For example clamav, clamd or other dependencies?)

Do I need to add Dag Wieers to the repositories?

What needs to be done for virtual sites?

Have people used MailScanner (Version 4.74.16-1) on BlueOnyx?

Are such RPM's best installed using the GUI or the command line?

Or perhaps there is a better way of going about this?

Thanking you for your time and consideration.

I actually have always used commercial packages for that from Nuonce or 
www.solarspeed.net
So I can't be much help.

I did see a post today about Centos repositories at:

They suggest RPMForge and  utterramblings.
