Mikrop is a small, easy to install program for mail servers to scan incoming email. It's currently integrated only with postfix MTA.

MAXSIZE = maximum size of incoming messages including the attachment files. this parameter is important and you should set it to a high value if you are not sure.

TMPMAILDIR = temporary directory for files being scanned.

VIRCMD = your antivirus program (you can add parameters here)

VIRNFOUND = The string that is going to be looked for in the antivirus program's output. Ex: Fprot outputs "No viruses or suspicious files/boot sectors were found."
and i took the 'No viruses' part in my default mikrop configuration file.

v1.2 - > if you're using another virus scanner that doesn't give any output like uvscan than delete/comment this line on config.h


INFDIR = directory for infected mailboxes.

PROCMAIL = if you use procmail as mail filtering utility you should define it here. e-mail's will be passed to this program if they're clean.

SENDMAIL = Currently this parameter is used for sending a warning message to
the person who sent infected file.

USERMBOXES = if you don't use procmail define your spool directory. clean e-mails will be appended to the file in this directory/USERLOGIN.

MSG = the message alert that warns the target user

VIRADMIN = the contact user, the string which is going to be appended at each warning message.


Here are some key features of "Mikrop":
Can be used with or without procmail.
Can use different virus scanners.
Easy to install and configure.

What's New in This Release:
Shell script added for automatic update of f-prot viruslist.
Undefining VIRNFOUND feature added to config.h for use of
virus scanners that give no output.
