Sophos issue?

[Stephen Swaney]

Tim,

This has been covered before but I'll check the FAQ and add it if it's
missing.

Julian has well scripted the Sophos installation and you need to use his
scripts:

cd to wherever you un-tarred the Sophos files:

cd <somewhere>/sav-install tehn run

        /usr/sbin/Sophos.install

This script does it all!

Then make sure that the SAVI-Perl module is correctly installed:

        http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/SAVI.shtml


Then change your MailScanner.conf file:

        Virus Scanners = sophossavi


The update_virus scanners script will also be installed by the new
MailScanner

Note there is no need to run spamd with this setup.
