AVG Linux Email Server / User Manual

4. Third Party Products

Third party software is needed to preprocess incoming and outgoing e-mail
messages content before they can be scanned by AVG for Linux E-mail Server.
Two solutions are available for particular e-mail servers – the AMaViS and the
Qmail-Scanner security packages.
Both of these packages require AVG for Linux E-mail Server and optionally some
AVG Anti-Virus vendor patches to be installed before attempting to install and
configure them properly on your system. The AMaViS e-mail content scanner can
be used with the sendmail, postfix, qmail and exim mail transport agents; the
Qmail-Scanner can be used with qmail only.
Supported commercial e-mail servers (Lotus Notes/Domino and Kerio
MailServer) do not require such tools. See chapter 6. Commercial E-mail Servers
for more information on this topic.

4.1. AVG Anti-Virus Vendor Patches

Before installing the AMaViS package amavis (various versions supported) you
must apply the AVG Anti-Virus patch. Supposing you have unpacked the
installation file, switch to the unpacked directory, copy the amavis-{version}-
avg.patch file there (included in the AVG for Linux
E-mail Server installation package), and apply the patch using the
$ patch -p1 < amavis-{version}-avg.patch
command.
Run autoconf with the
$ autoconf
command.
Then create the aclocal.m4 file using the
$ touch aclocal.m4
command and continue with the installation as described in chapter 4.2 Third Party
Products/AMaViS.
Note: The patch is needed only for the amavis variant of AMaViS. For the version
'p7' and higher of the recommended amavisd-new you just have to uncomment
the AVG Anti-Virus related lines in the amavisd.conf file. For older versions, use
the respective amavisd-new patch
Besides the amavis patch, the Qmail-Scanner (versions 1.20, 1.22) patch is also
needed when you are planning to install this tool. Switch to the unpacked Qmail-
Scanner installation directory and copy the qmail-scanner-{version}-avg.patch
file (included in the AVG for Linux E-mail Server installation package) there.
