Spamassassin installation and Virus worm protection advice on Redhat

[Brian Kelsay]

Joe, you can always see the threaded mail archives at kclug.org for the replies.  If someone 
replies to you personally, how are we all to benefit?

By the way, if you configure your box to be a mail server during the Red Hat setup, you may be able 
to add Spamassassin during the install as an optional package.  I seem to recall that being 
available when I messed w/ Red hat 9 last summer.

Why didn't you just clear out the infected email?  If they were in more than just the /home 
directories of a few users, how did that happen?  Did you boot the PC into Windows?  You could use 
a bash or Perl script to find and remove the viruses.  Especially if they are .exe or .vbs files, 
as any Linux user/admin knows, those files are completely useless.  In the future you will want to 
filter those to /dev/null as they enter the mail server as attachments.
