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).
