There is one but it is more for a mailserver that delivers mail
to windows systems.
hint: clamav.net

try a Google search on F-PROT, I think they offer a free command line
scanner and updates using a perl script.

And as everyone should know, it's FOR windows "viruses", and it runs ON
linux, to protect WINDOWS clients of a linux server from themselves.

free/open source - clamav. also a daemon - clamd and a sendmail filter -
clamav-milter

f-prot is not free. there is a free to home user client version. not free
to businessess, not free as a daemon, not free for mail servers.

Hi

I am currently developing applications running
on Debian-Woody, and I have problems caused by
the 2Mo limitation of the stack size due to
the libpthread 0.9

Unfortunately I have no root privileges so I
can't upgrade to a Debian-Sarge

Is it possible to use the libpthread 0.10
with a Debian-Woody, for example by simply
copying a libpthread-0.10 in my home directory
then change my LD_LIBRARY_PATH ?
Or by any other means ?
