    On the mail server?
    I found this
    https://haraka.github.io/plugins/esets
    Was wondering if it would be compatible to put on cloudron?

      @AartJansen I guess to scan attachments? I haven't tried the plugin yet but probably worth investigating. Currently, it's not possible to enable this on the mail server. I guess it needs esets also to be configured.

        I haven't used the ESET for Linux mail server before, but assuming it's like the exchange version it offers a console to do attachment scanning and spam blocking with a much easier management interface than spam assassin. Which would be nice to handle end user mail issues with Small Business clients.

          Genuinely curious how people scan their machines for malicious files. With many major recent WordPress vulnerabilities that were knowingly exploited, it’s made me think a bit more on how to monitor for such things. Of course there are tools within the WordPress ecosystem for example for monitoring things and I utilize these already to an extent, however, those are certainly not infallible so they’re usually best combined with a scanning tool at the server level as well from what I’ve been reading.

          I was wondering if anybody is implemented something like this and what tools they might recommend. It seems like a popular one is ClamAV, but not sure how this may impact server performance (I guess I’ll just have to try). Any other recommendations that people can vouch for? I figured it doen’t even need to scan the whole server but just the boxdata folders for example which may help on minimizing any possible performance impact.

            @d19dotca We have successfully used Cloudmersive's API. That being said, they dropped the ball on a bug we reported and we had to implement a workaround. But other than that, it has worked well for us. When users upload a file via browser, we quarantine the file and if it scans clean, we move it into a user's personal storage.

            Multiple languages are supported with API libraries. We chose to integrate using cURL to reduce dependencies.

            @girish I don't know whether a "listener" process could be attached to Cloudron folders when a file was added or updated and then virus scanned via API before allowing user access. But this could get expensive for servers processing lots of files/attachments as only 800 monthly scans are free.

              @crazybrad are you referring to a generic folder scan i.e across apps OR just imap (email) folders ?

                @girish I hadn't considered IMAP folders vs. a generic drive folder. Both could be interesting.
