BitDefender

Qmail-Scanner is an add-on that enables a Qmail e-mail server to scan all gateway-ed e-mail for certain characteristics (i.e. a content scanner).

—Qmail-Scanner website

Qmail-Scanner supports BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices out of package. To use it, you can just proceed to normal installation, since the configuration script will automatically detect BitDefender. Alternately, you can pass some option to the script, such as specifying the antivirus to use.

Qmail-Scanner installation

Qmail-Scanner supports many installation options, for a fine-grained qmail integration. Please see the documentation for further instructions.

Enter the directory where you have unpacked the Qmail-Scanner archive, and run the following command.

#./configure --scanners bitdefender

Once configured, you can install Qmail-Scanner by running the next command.

#./configure --install

Having this done, you can start testing Qmail-Scanner by sending test emails to some local account. You should watch the logs for possible errors.

10.2.2. MailScanner

A Free Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam Filter.

—MailScanner website

MailScanner integration of BitDefender is a very simple process. Since BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices is supported by default by MailScanner, all you need to have is a functional installation of MailScanner and one line to modify.

MailScanner installation
