smtp-vilter is a high performance content filter for sendmail
|
|
to detect e-mail viruses and spam. smtp-vilter decides whether
|
|
to pass, discard or simply mark an e-mail message based on the
|
|
results of a content scan and user defined strategies.
|
|
|
|
smtp-vilter does not do the scanning by itself, it relies on
|
|
third-party products like ClamAV, Symantec Antivirus or
|
|
SpamAssassin for this purpose. smtp-vilter uses the milter API
|
|
to communicate with sendmail and one or more backends to
|
|
communicate with the actual virus or spam scanning engines.
|
|
The backends can be chained to perform a series of checks on
|
|
one message in one run.
|
|
|
|
The software is highly configurable and provides mechanisms
|
|
for secure operation.
|
|
|
|
The backends included in the distribution provide support for
|
|
the Clam AntiVirus Daemon (clamd), the Symantec Anti Virus
|
|
Scan Engine (savse), and Spamassassins Daemon (spamd). The
|
|
backends are realised as shared libraries that are loaded
|
|
dynamically when smtp-vilter starts. All backends have their
|
|
own configuration file.
