Virus Scanning of ticket attachments?

RT Users

Is there some Request Tracker extension/plugin that I can use to
automatically scan file attachments to tickets? I didn’t see anything
on the mailing list archive, or the wiki.

Thanks,
Johnathan

Maybe you could use a scrip to trigger the scan of the new
attachment or use rt-crontool nightly to do the same?

Cheers,

Hi Johnathan,

I do think it’s outside job. Install a hook before delivering into RT.On Tue, Jul 28, 2009 at 10:59 PM, Johnathan Belljohnathan.bell@baker.edu wrote:

Hi Jonathan,i think virus scanning should be done infront of RT, not inside
RT! Your Wordprocessor will also not scan a document for viruses?!?

Where would I put the hook when people are uploading files directly to
the web form? I can use spamassassain or clam for email-based
attachments, will RT hook all attachments through this same place?

Thanks,
