20/12/2007 - I have updated the easy-to-install ClamAV & SpamAssassin package in 2 ways: (1) I have included the latest ClamAV 0.92. (2) I have patched the Perl module Mail::ClamAV so that it will build with the latest ClamAV 0.92. (3) I have added SpamAssassin patch 5589 to SpamAssassin 3.2.3 to save you having to mess with the "patch" command and building the package manually to get decent DNS lookup performance from it. See the downloads page for the link to download it all. |
|
19/12/2007 - I have patched the Perl module Mail::ClamAV so that it compiles successfully with the latest ClamAV 0.92 installed. You can download my patched version here. To use it, download and install the ClamAV 0.92 & SpamAssassin package, build and install it as usual (expect Mail::ClamAV to fail to install) and then unpack and install the patched version of the Mail::ClamAV package you just downloaded. Let me know how you get on with this. |
|
18/12/2007 - New version of ClamAV 0.92 is out, please download and install the updated ClamAV+SpamAssassin package. update: backed off to previous version as latest will not build with Mail::ClamAV required for "clamavmodule" virus scanner. |

|
7/8/2007 - Released 4.63.1 beta. Major new feature for protecting your users: a live continuously updated list of known compromised websites which have been manually tested and are known to have been compromised or "0wn3d" ("owned"). These will always trigger the phishing net. |
|
1/8/2007 - Released new stable version 4.62.
