Can anyone point me to an available program which will scan both files and emails for both attached virus and file types (such as *.VBS) on a *nix system (probably AIX or Linux)?
See http://www.openantivirus.org/av-unix_e.txt or http://www.amavis.org/
Company A requires that ALL files be scanned before they are allowed into the LAN.
Hmm... not possible if you create a tunnel into the LAN. That's the trick with a tunnel: it undermines all means of other control. So the files will emerge on the Lotus server (within its database) already inside the LAN. So strictly speaking infected files or mails can only be scanned when already within LAN.
The proposed solution is to place a Lotus Notes server (AIX or Linux) on Company A's LAN behind the firewall.
Behind: inside or outside of A's LAN?
This Notes server must then run scanning software to check emails and other files for known virus' as well as strip all files with evil extentions such as .VBS. This would be agreeable to both companies, IF it works.
So you need a scanner for Lotus Notes on AIX or Linux?
