Chapter 1. Introduction
Dear user, you have acquired NOD32 for Linux Mail Servers (for use with FreeBSD) -
NOD32LMS - probably the best antivirus system for e-mail servers running under the FreeBSD
operating system. As you will soon realize, the system has unsurpassed scanning speed and
detection rate, combined with a very small footprint that makes NOD32 the ideal choice for
any FreeBSD mail server.
The following is a short summary of its key features.
• NOD32 scanning engine algorithms provide both the highest detection rate and the fastest
scanning times.
• It includes unique advanced heuristics for Win32 worms and backdoors.
• The system solution is MTA-independent (mail server independent).
• Inbuilt NOD32 archivers unpack archived e-mail attachments without the need for any exter-
nal programs.
• In order to increase speed and efficiency of the system, its architecture is based on the running
daemon (resident program) where all the scanning requests are sent to.
• Six various levels of logging can be configured to get information about system activity and
infiltrations.
• One of the major advantages is the fact that the system installation does not require external
libraries or programs except for libc.
• The system can be configured to notify any person in case of detected infiltration.
• Moreover, information about infiltration can be configured to be written into an e-mail header,
footer and subject.
To run efficiently, the NOD32LMS requires just 5MB of hard-disk space and 8MB of RAM. The
system supports most popular mail server software including Sendmail, Postfix, Qmail, Exim
and runs smoothly under 4.X and 5.X FreeBSD distributions.
From lower-powered, small office mail servers to enterprise-class ISP mail servers with thou-
sands of users, NOD32LMS delivers the performance and scalability you expect from a UNIX
based solution and the unequaled security of NOD32.
