Hey-

I've downloaded it and have it up and running. Looks impressive. It certainly takes a lot of the work out of setting up a gateway filter.

Thanks for your work!

The readme is easy to follow and works fine. More information about customization would be wonderful!

I agree with your wishlist ideas and have a few to add. It seems that ESVA really has the ability to make something that is complicated and/or costly (setting up an effective mail gateway) achievable for anyone or any group. I work in a school, where no one has the time or expertise to set up Mailscanner from scratch, but we have a very strong need for decent email filtering. The more that ESVA can do out of the box to help the average person configure and extend it, the better.

Some other ideas that might help others:
-Integration of MailWatch for filter monitoring and quarantine management
-Built-in use of sa-learn or similar for improving Bayesian filtering. This article suggests an interesting way to that in Exchange: http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:anti_spam:spamassassin:sa-learn:msexchange&s=exchange
-Other Exchange/ Active Directory integration such as configuring postfix to reject unknown users...
-Simplified, centralized, management panel.

Thanks for your work on this project. It really looks good!

OK - Still haven't built the next release - I'm not going to put a time on it now, but if you are interested put a watch on this thread and I'll update when it's done. Ideally I'd like to wait till the next release of MailScanner is ready, but there are some other pressing reasons to build now, such as an updated kernel and new VM tools with the GA release of VMware Server (as well as other updated binaries and enhancements listed earlier)

Great appliance!

I was looking for a AntiVirus/AntiSpam gateway for sometime for our SBS 2003 and I think I found what I was looking for.

I've tried a few other appliances BUT this one is my winner.

What I like about is
- it's minimal
- all OpenSource
- easy to modify/configure with Webmin

Thanks.

Dear Sir,

Your Post is very nice and i am trying to some changes according to my system like i need to run this on my physical hard disk on 250 gb and i need to make this a real high performance server but to do this i am facing so many problems is it possible that you submit a complete post that how you will install this and configure it in VM and how to we install in physical disk while we use VM ?

To Do this you can use Camtasia Studio is a number 1 you will make your complete movie file and save in his own extension so it will be easy for all .

waiting for your early reply,

Sincere Regards,

ESVA is by no means dead - Version 2.0 was released about 3 weeks ago and the response has been very good:
