Hello list,
I use currently a non-dovecot pop3 proxy which has the ability to scan all passing mails for viruses. And I like dovecot.
I like dovecot too. But I think virus-scanning is for the MTA.
IMAP allows for other ways „into“ the mail storage than via the MTA.
I agree with Frank, virus scanning, and IMHO spam filtering is the job for the MTA side of things, reject it before it gets near the mail storage.
Hi guys, I agree with Heiko. In my current setup it is _wanted_ to store/move mails via IMAP for usability reasons. So i am looking for at least virus scanning at the delivery point. postfix and dovecot use deliver, so it should be done at this point.
