Re: [otrs] Customer module and viruses

Thanks Anton, But this will make the customer module unusable in our point of view. What's the point to have a dedicated interface if we are not able to filter virus from it? If customers have to use regular mails to send attachments they wont use the customer module ... Any other "ideas" ? :) Thanks World Intellectual Property Organization Disclaimer: This electronic message may contain privileged, confidential and copyright protected information.

You can use GenericAgent (CMD type) to feed your recently updated (or
created) ticket to virus scanner. You will have to write perl code to do so
as GenericAgent passes only TicketNumber and TicketID to the CMD. Based on
the checking results you can program any action (move to another queue,
remove infected attachment, etc.) in the perl code.

Hi all,
shouldn't be possible to change articole storage to FS instead of DB and
having an antivirus demonized ?
I know that probably the results will be a ticket without the virused
attachment but it could preserve everyone from download it, isn't it ?

Moreover, I'd say your proportion of viruses from people logging in and
sending a ticket is significantly lower than what you could expect
coming in via email from the web. Taking the correct precautions as far
as preventing attaching 'risky' filetypes makes good sense, and in the
worst case I'd expect that your clients have virus scanning installed
locally.
