RE: Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux version 9 EOL

Hello QC,

I was afraid I would get these answers!
Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux + SAVDI has been a powerful combination for so many years for:
1. antivirus protection for the mail server -> SSSP protocol (one of the best solutions recommended in Amavis configuration);
2. antivirus protection for Squid server -> SAVDI ICAP service.
The solution for Squid that I have presented here has been working properly for over a year.
Even without SAVDI, Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux version 10 remains an extremely useful product, I hope to be able to purchase it.

Hello Berindeie Avram-Teodor,

I'm not Sophos so this is just my interpretation.
This does not impact OEM - Guess you won't be able to download SAVDI after the mentioned date but vendors that use SAV/SAVDI with their products will. I don't think it will stop working but once SAV9 is EOL it won't be of much use.

Linux version 10 - Is it compatible with SAVDI 2.6? - from what I've heard read there's already a replacement, please see this AV scan using API thread.
