EmailScan is a software that scans incoming multipart email for bad file types, filenames, and viruses using procmail. Compared to other email scanners, EmailScan offers flexibility, expandability, and portability, making it an ideal choice for many users. It utilizes bash, but can also work with ksh, without any GNU specific switches on the utilities used.
One of the key features of EmailScan is that it works on any platform with a virus scanner, which means that administrators can customize and add their own functions to the script quickly and efficiently. While the EmailScan team provides strong baseline protection, user contributions are also welcome.
Installation of EmailScan is done by hand, and it requires users to have a few programs installed, such as mkdir, rm, cat, metamail, find, file, grep, formail, procmail, sendmail, send, and mv. Once installed, users must modify emailscan.conf to ensure that the directories, file locations, and options of the virus scanner are correct.
Additionally, users must install /etc/procmailrc and make sure that sendmail is using procmail as the local delivery agent, which is the default install for sendmail. If not already in use, it is highly recommended that users switch to procmail.
To conclude, EmailScan is a comprehensive and efficient software that offers users flexibility, expandability, and portability. With user contributions welcome, EmailScan provides strong baseline protection while empowering users to customize and add their own functions.
