Qmail virus scanner Description

The Qmail virus scanner (QScan) is a mail filter for Qmail that scans incoming messages using the Sophos Antivirus engine. The Qmail virus scanner (QScan) is a mail filter for Qmail that scans incoming messages using the Sophos Antivirus engine, immediately rejecting infected content.It is designed to be minimalistic, yet extremely fast and secure, and uses multiple pipes instead of the traditional temporary files and privilege separation. It works with non-native versions of the virus scanner like under OpenBSD with Linux or FreeBSD emulation.You must create a temporary directory to extract MIME attachments, and replace Qmail's original qmail-queue program with Qscan. Quick way to achieve this for the impatients :mkdir /var/qmail/qscanchmod 700 /var/qmail/qscanchown qmaild:qmail /var/qmail/qscanln /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue-oldNow, let's compile and install Qscan :./configure --help./configure make install-stripThe last step is to replace the original qmail-queue program with our filter :rm /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queueln -s /usr/local/sbin/qscan /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queueDepending on your local configuration, it may be needed or not, but start with doing it :chown qmaild:qmail /usr/local/sbin/qscanchmod 6711 /usr/local/sbin/qscanAfter testing, if everything's ok for you, remove the setuid bit : chown 0:0 /usr/local/sbin/qscanchmod 711 /usr/local/sbin/qscan
