It does work, if someone is looking for a free server based virus scanning solution. F-prot command line scanning software is free for personal use. OdeiaVir uses F-prot to scan incoming email. I did this a little at a time(on my personal server at home), when I had free time. Very rough overview(can't remember every command)
Download and install F-Prot
Update F-Prot
Test F-Prot with eicar test virus
Download Odeiavir software, read the documentation on the website
Realize Odeiavir needs ripmime
must use 'make' command to install ripmime--e-smith doesn't have that
search and find ripmime rpm and install(ripmime-1.2.16.16-1mdk.i586.rpm)
Test ripmime(just used ripmime command to verify it's installed)
Back to Odeiavir--continue reading documentation--
Odeiavir also must use the 'make' command
Couldn't find an rpm for odeiavir
Installed the 'dev' tools from myezserver.com(except the kernel source one)
skipped the kernel source rpm since the e-smith documentation about installing the dev tools doensn't include it(not sure if it matters)
edit odeiavir.h file--no changes needed
used the make and make install commands on odeiavir
install worked
edit config file--few changes like email address and stuff
add |/usr/bin/odeiavir to the top of .qmail-shared and .qmail-localdelivery-default
It works great!!
I'm faily new at this linux stuff, so I may have done something incorrect...
