QScan

Description

qscan is a sendmail queue scanner designed to scan all incoming email for file attachments and rename any offending file attachments. File attachments are not scanned for viruses, but allow you, the system administrator, to rename either some or all incoming file attachments to .txt file extension. The original filename is renamed to filename~doc for example, so that the end user can rename the file once it is scanned for viruses. Therefore, you will need to maintain current anti-virus software on your workstations in case a virus infected file is emailed to one of your users and they rename and execute that file.

This program is by no means a perfect solution, but if security is properly maintained at your organization it will allow you much greater flexibility at stopping any possible email virus outbreaks.
