AV gateway



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I'm looking for a solution for an opensource AV gateway. I've done some basic searching and poking around the lists and google. Basically what I'm trying to do is catch and block the entry and more importantly the departure of virii, worms, and other malicious code. I have yet to see (in my little bit of looking) anyone that is successfully doing this. I had 3 ideas, from easiest to hardest. I don't know how feasable the last one is. Any good ideas are welcome and hereby solicited. I'm mainly concerned with SMTP since thats how most get spread.

Block port 25 and 587 outgoing except to a specific box, tell all users to use a specified SMTP server which we control that sits in the POP and runs ClamAV. --Most intrusive and not too transparent. this is my last resort.

Try to redirect all SMTP traffic to a local copy of ClamAV which scans and sends on. I don't yet know if this is do-able, it was just a quick thought.

Set up snort on all gateway boxes and use snort data to temporarily block offending / infected users for a predetermined amount of time. This also would need to be tested.
