Introduction
In this article, we are
going to introduce how NOD32 works on different mail servers on Linux
Platform (*nix:>). NOD32 for Linux Mail Server provides an smtp socket
and a mda for scanning emails. I have spent quite a lot of time on
amavis, qmail-queue. But they are not good solutions. So you will not
see them here. Among the most 3 popular mail servers, sendmail, postfix,
qmail, you are strongly recommended to use postfix. Because it is
easiest to configure and install. Qmail is a generic example. You can
apply rules on qmail on other mail servers, like courier and cyrus.
Package version: (earlier
versions may also work, but not guaranteed)
