VPOP3 Virus Scanning

Vpop and antivirus software

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 01:24:25 GMT

We currently use Sophos but for a number of reasons are thinking of changing.

Our shortlist is:-
Kapersky, Eset, F-secure and Avast.

I know Avast is supported by Vpop -
Does anyone have any experience of using any of the other 3 with Vpop?
Could you have both on the same server e.g use Avast or Sophos for mail scanning and the rest for other purposes?

Avast Updates - Notification states ERROR

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:37:40 GMT

Since upgrading to VPOP3 V3 a couple of weeks ago we are getting the message below when Avast updates. Avast seems to be updating fine, I am just wondering why this message containing the text **ERROR**?

Message

Problems after Update

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 09:49:31 GMT

My VPOP3 has been running faultlessly for months and has started crashing daily since I updated my yearly subscription to avast.

A few details below..is something that has been fixed in the latest release or is it a reboot issue?

Sophos uninstalled - SAVI errors

Mon, 19 May 2008 15:38:23 GMT

Hi

I've taken a decision to change my AV provider (Sophos just got too expensive). I've unistalled Sophos but I keep getting multiple SAVI errors:

<>

The option to not use an AV scanner is greyed out on the admin sttings so I can't tell vPop *not* to scan attachments.

Where do I go from here?

Thanks

Robin

ClamAV

Hi,

Using Plugin Pack's VPOP3Decode and ClamWin , you should be able to scan for viruses.

Has anyone tried it?

Avast Updates

Tue, 04 Dec 2007 16:48:01 GMT

When Avast updates itself, we are unable to send Emails. We need to Shutdown VPOP and then restart it.
This happens most of the time when Avast updates itself.

Using VPOP 2.5.0b

Does anyone experience the same problem?

Mathias

Problem with VPOP3 and MailScan for VPOP3

Wed, 12 Sep 2007 14:26:30 GMT

I??m using VPOP3 Enterprise 2.5.0b and Microworld MailScan 5.2 for VPOP3.

MailScan scans at the transportlevel, so if an infected or spam-classified mail is detected, the original content is deleted right in the transport stream. At this point, the download is already in progress and VPOP3 is expecting a mail. So "something" has to be given to VPOP3 instead of the original content. This "something" is a standard notification mail: sender is "mailscan@mydomain.com", recipient is "mailscan@mydomain.com", text is something like "mail deleted at the gateway...bla bla"

As long as I don??t use the "download rules" feature, these mails can be sorted out by the "What to do with incoming (POP3) mail for unknown recipients" feature, because the user "mailscan@mydomain.com" is of course unknown. So I direct mails for unknown users to a different mailbox and delete them from time to time.

If I switch on "download rules", regardless of the kind of rules, those notification mails get into the original recipient??s mailbox.

This is extremely annoying, cause it doesn`t make much difference if you have to delete 500 spammails a day, or 500 notification mails a day ;-)

Any ideas ?

Thanks
Dirk

SOPHOS Content Scanner error

Fri, 25 May 2007 08:22:08 GMT

Hi

We had several customer yesterday getting "Content Scanner" errors which were atttributed to a problem with SOPHOS. The solution is just to stop and re-start the VPOP service.

Has anyone else had this problem ?

Is there any way of preventing it ?

Thanks

It's supposed to work but not sure if there are any issues.

Thanks
