This guide describes how you can automatically scan files uploaded by users through a web form on your server using PHP and ClamAV. That way you can make sure that your upload form will not be abused to distribute malware.

That package is available for Debian Etch and Sid and also for Ubuntu Dapper Drake and Edgy Eft.

In this guide you will learn how to tweak your Postfix/Amavisd setup to give better virus protection.
