Which multi-pop / Av / Spam combination to install????
« on: May 02, 2005, 04:18:54 PM »
I am seeking advice on peoples experiences with AntiVirus and mail software.  I suppose I am more correct in saying the user panels that I use to configure the software with from server-manager.

AntiVirus -  I have seen Jespers latests for ClamAV :-D  and also Stephen Nobles :-)from dungog.net's.  Jespers uses 0.84 whilst Stephens only uses 0.83 (I think).  Stephens also allows for the integration of another virus scanning engine into the equationjavascript:emoticon :-D
Very Happy.  

Are there any advantages disadvantes in using either one?

I am also needing to use a multi-pop mail retrieval system - again I can install Jespers fetchmail contrib or use the ones by Stephen Noble.  In reading the documentation Stephen indicates that there is the ability to have a user poll the server when required and not fall in line with the timed mail downloads.  He indicates that this is a feature in his user-panels.

So - is one mail retrieval system better then the other?

Also will the user-panel described by stephen work with Jespers multi-pop retrieval system?

I ask these questions as I am currently having problems with both in getting them to retrieve mail?  I previously had Jespers working fine.

Final thing (for this message) - again I have two versions of SpamAssassin at each site.  I can see that Jesper has just upgraded to the latest version.  

With the three progams having to work together which is the best combination?? :-D

I am installing onto 6.01.

I also thank Jesper and Stephen for their efforts and don't take anything away from either of the installations.

Laurie :-D  :-D  :idea:
