AntiVir Milter is a plug-in for sendmail versions 8.11 and up and communicates
via the libmilter interface of sendmail.
AntiVir Milter checks all incoming and outgoing emails. Infected emails are
blocked, depending on the presetting. A status message is written to "syslog".
The sender, receiver and administrator can be informed about infections.
Functions:
- All sendmail functions can still be used
Example: SMTP authentication, anti-relaying, anti-spam
- Easy installation and integration into sendmail
- Hourly or daily update of the scan engine and the virus definition files
via the Internet
- Checking of incoming and outgoing mails
- Dependable detection of viruses and unwanted programs in real time
- Configurable response to a detected virus or unwanted program
- Isolation of infected and suspicious files in a quarantine directory
- LOG file can be used as a protocol via mail traffic
- Immediate activation, if new virus definition file (.VDF) is available
- Heuristic macro-virus detection
- Modifiable templates to create own alert messages
- Scanning in archives (28 formats are supported)

Mark DEPRECATED, as free license keys are no longer available
since September 2005, with an EXPIRATION_DATE of 2006-08-31,
as all free license keys that still might be in use should
have expired by then.
If anyone is actually using this port with a commercial
license key, feel free to adopt this port. Otherwise this
port will be deleted after the above EXPIRATION_DATE.

- Update to 1.1.2-1 in order to fix fetching. [1]
According to the changelog beside a OpenBSD-specific fix the only relevant
change since 1.1.1-9 was:
o The log file (syslog too) shows the file name (argv[0]) in its logs.
- No longer override FETCH_CMD so the distfiles survey keeps track of this
port again. Overriding FETCH_CMD became redundant when the name of the
distfile was changed to be a versioned one.

- Update to 1.1.1-9. For a list of changes since 1.1.0-7 please see the
installed ChangeLog.
- Remove the references to the no longer available free license key for
private use from pkg-descr and pkg-message.
Approved by: netchild
- Update to 1.1.0-7 in order to fix fetching. For a list of changes see
the installed ChangeLog.
- Silencing the 'cannot access config file "/etc/antivir.conf"' warnings
by creating a respective symlink.
Notes:
- AntiVir Milter 1.1.0-7 ships with a faulty anti-virus engine which
may just exit with the following error when trying to start it:
cannot access config file "/etc/avguard.conf"
Please update to the latest anti-virus engine by e.g. running the
antivirupdater script in order to solve this.
- The future of the free licenses for private use and thus of this
port currently is uncertain:

PersonalEdition Classic UNIX: Advance Notice
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Update to 1.1.0-3 which amongst several fixes and some minor new features
brings native binaries for FreeBSD/i386 5-STABLE. For a complete list of
changes since 1.1 please see the installed ChangeLog.
Approved by: netchild
- Update to 1.1 (final). For changes since 1.1-beta see the ChangeLog
in the DOCSDIR.
- Rename the start script from antivir-milter.sh to avmilter.sh to be
consistent with naming of the rest of the installed AntiVir Milter
files and directories.
- Now that AntiVir Milter supports using a different location from
/etc for the ignore, scan and warn config files no longer install
them in the EXAMPLESDIR but in PREFIX/etc/avmilter (i.e. install
as sample files, copy over when not already existent, etc.).
- Change the location of the AntiVir Milter config file (avmilter.conf)
but not that of the scan engine (antivir.conf; shared between different
AntiVir products) from PREFIX/etc to PREFIX/etc/avmilter in order to
have all AntiVir Milter config files in one place but don't directly
populate PREFIX/etc with them.
If you had previously changed PREFIX/etc/avmilter.conf you have to
bring over your changes to PREFIX/etc/avmilter/avmilter.conf but note
that some variables have been renamed. If you used ignore, scan and/or
warn files in /etc you can now move them to PREFIX/etc/avmilter.

- H+BEDV GmbH released a new tarball of the beta version shipping an updated
anti-virus engine (6.23.0.3 -> 6.25.0.2), current virus definition file
(6.23.0.49 -> 6.25.0.1) and an updated antivir.conf.
If you are using the auto-update facility you should already have the
updated AV engine binary and VDF.
- Look for the libmilter of the Sendmail port and the GnuPG binary in
LOCALBASE instead of PREFIX.

- Use daemon(8) for launching avmilter in order to detach it from the
controlling terminal. [1]
- Make the avq script check if it's ran by the avmilter user in addition
to uid == 0. This enables `avq --remove` to be run via a script and the
ExternalProgram option in order to automatically delete the rejected
messages. [2]
- Install a script avqrm which serves this purpose, i.e. executes
`avq --remove` and can be run via ExternalProgram.
- Make the avq script not print the contents of the queue when option
'--remove' is given, this greatly improves speed and otherwise it's not
really suitable to be called on every rejected message. Fix some typos.
- Fix pkg-plist by adding antivirupdater.

HEADS-UP: When updating from a previous version you have to do the following
after deinstalling the old port:
# rm PREFIX/AntiVir/antivir
# rm PREFIX/AntiVir/antivir.vdf
# chown root:wheel PREFIX/AntiVir
# chown root:smmsp PREFIX/AntiVir/hbedv.key
In your SENDMAIL_MC change
`S=unix:PREFIX/AntiVir/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:5m'
to:
`S=unix:/var/spool/avmilter/avmilter.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m'
and rebuild sendmail.cf.
If /var/spool/avmilter exist you have to:
# chown -R smmsp:smmsp /var/spool/avmilter
If you are using a customized PREFIX/etc/avmilter.conf the port
won't remove it on deinstall and you have to manually change User

- H+BEDV GmbH released a new tarball shipping an updated anti-virus engine
(6.23.0.1 -> 6.24.0.2), current virus definition file (6.23.0.1 -> 6.24.0.6)
and an updated antivir.conf adding the new option "UpdaterKeepsBackups" for
for the current AV engine.
If you are using the auto-update facility you should already have the
updated AV engine binary and VDF.
- Install the original AV engine binary and the VDF from the tarball with
suffix "-dist_avfbmlt" instead of "-dist" so ${PREFIX}/AntiVir/antivir
can be shared between different H+BEDV AntiVir products without conflicts.
- Add another instance to MASTER_SITES.

- H+BEDV GmbH released a new tarball shipping an updated anti-virus engine
(6.22.0.1 -> 6.23.0.1), a current virus definition file (6.23.0.1) and
and updated antivir.conf adding new options for the new features in the
current AV engine.
If you are using the auto-update facility you should already have the
updated AV engine and VDF. The new options available in antivir.conf are
only relevant if you are using the update daemon mechanism (i.e. you are
using `antivir --update-daemon` instead of running antivirupdater via
cron(8)) or you own a true commercial license (i.e. no private license)
and want to catch "unwanted files" e.g. dialers in addition to worms and
viruses.
- Be consistent in how PREFIX gets inserted in the avq script compared to
the other patched files. The old way previously saved a patch which is
no longer true. No change in the installed script.
Submitted by: Marius Strobl <marius@alchemy.franken.de>
- Install the virus definition file and the actual virus scanner with the
write bit turned on as both get updated when using the automated updates
facility. The auto-update mechanism doesn't seem to have a problem if
the write bit is disabled but it's not quite correct.
- Mention in pkg-message that that the virus scanner (referenced as
"anti-virus engine" by H+BEDV) also gets updated when using the automated
updates facility.
- H+BEDV GmbH released a new tarball shipping an updated anti-virus engine
(6.21.0.1 -> 6.22.0.1) and a current virus definition file (6.22.0.0).
If you are using the auto-update functionality you should already have
these updated versions.
- Mention the AntiVir Bulletin Board (support) in the DESCR.
- Make the antivirupdater script behave like described in the documentation
(pass command line arguments to antivir).
- Make the avq script check for uid == 0, the avmilter spool directory can't
be read without sufficient permissions.
