<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Has anyone looked at integrating any part of the www.openantivirus.org / ScannerDaemon , ( see url http://www.openantivirus.org/projects.php).</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
Its PatternFinder looks quite interesting, and I could support scanning of http/samba/sendmail from maintenance/management of the one virus scanner installation (if we/I work on integrating the ScannerDaemon).</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>

Longer term it would help reduce the work on integrating virus scanners to mailscanner, and mailscanner could more concentrate on support for sendmail/exim/etc etc, and protocols such as MIME/TNEF etc etc</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
It also has the advantage as running as a daemon, rather than starting and stopping the virus engine each time.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
I guess the only draw back is Java, whilst a good language etc etc, it might be a bit 'heavy' for some users compared to the shell scripts.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> <br>
</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><br>
For IC its not a drawback, as we are very very Java orientented anyways.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font>
