Just curious, what is the exact name of the sophos product you installed
with mailscanner?? Someone wants me to add sophos as a third virus
scanner (in addition to clamav and f-prot) and I am trying to figure out
which sophos product I should use to do that? Thanks

 Hello all...

Sorry, not strictly an MS problem, just wondering if anyone else had
stumbled over this...

I'm playing with a test box on RHEL4.

Sophos installed fine, and using 'sophos' as the virus scanner, all is
okay.

However, I normally try and install SAVI-Perl for obvious reasons.

The latest version would appear to be 0.30.

I installed Sophos, and then edited Makefile.PL as normal:
    'LIBS'      => ['-L/usr/local/Sophos/lib -R/usr/local/Sophos/lib
-lsavi'],

I run make:

cp SAVI.pm blib/lib/SAVI.pm
AutoSplitting blib/lib/SAVI.pm (blib/lib/auto/SAVI)

... it's the 'gcc: unrecognized option' that looks to me that isn't
actually building the .so shared library... there is, though, a SAVI.so
in blib/arch/auto/SAVI.

make test shows:

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"
"test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t

directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm

... it is, however, there.

Running a forced 'make install' and then using 'sophossavi' in
MailScanner elicits errors about not being able to find SAVI:

Mar  3 16:41:16 james MailScanner[16086]: SAVI Perl module not found,
did you
install it?

Anyone else swimming in these dark waters before I try the auth of
SAVI-Perl?
