Sophos v5

[Sam Luxford-Watts]

Julian,

I know we can carry on using V4 for now but any update as to when Sophos V5
support will likely to be written into Mailscanner?

Thanks,

Sam

i have no problems with sav5.x except that i do not know how i can tell ms
how to use it.

i did not tried, for now i have both installed.
- sav4.x for ms (Sophos.install)
- sav5.x for other use

i do not know, perhaps is  "generic"  a solution for sav5.x, some 
help/hints would be great.
-  /etc/MailScanner/virus.scanners.conf
-  /usr/lib/MailScanner/generic-wrapper
-  /usr/lib/MailScanner/generic-autoupdate


savscan = sav5.x
sweep = sav3.x/4.x
savscan.base = sweep (see below)

a while ago i got some answers from sophos support:

<sophos support 1>

- die Optionen von sweep/savscan/savscan.base sind identisch
</sophos support 1>

my translation:  "the  sweep/savscan/savscan.base  options are identical"

<sophos support 2>
savscan.base is the 'sweep' binary, which is called by savscan with some 
arguments (for example the location of the IDE files).

I would avoid playing around in the engine directory as it is not 
something that anyone, especially customers should be playing with.
</sophos support 2>



roots crontab after sav5.x installation
<crontab update>
47 * * * * /opt/sophos-av/bin/savupdate
</crontab update>
