A new version of avcheck, 0.6, is now available.
It can be downloaded from the usual location,

 ftp://ftp.corpit.ru/pub/avcheck/avcheck-0.6.tar.gz

And finally, avcheck has a web page:

 http://www.corpit.ru/avcheck/

Changes in version 0.6 (from the ChangeLog):

        * Version 0.6

        * Preliminary support for Sophie/Trophie (about 10 lines of code).
        It is #ifdef'ed for now -- both Sophos and TrendMicro libraries
        seems to ignore MIME-formatted files while them have (a guess
        looking into libraries) support for MIME decoding internally.

        * #ifdef'ed address quoting in avcheck (Postfix has this ability
        now).  This change is incompatible with previous releases.  In
        order to restore old behaviour, compile with -DQUOTEADDR option.
        Better yet, add a `q' fiag in postfix's pipe(8) agent, like
        ... pipe flags=q user=....
        (READMEs modified accordingly)

        * Added minor relaxing for DrWeb.  DrWeb will return READ_ERROR
        condition for broken or incomplete .doc files.  For now, avcheck
        ignores this error (to be cleaned up later when DrWeb will return
        proper (CRC_ERROR?) error code).  This should not hurt anything,
        since in case of real read error the same error will show when
        avcheck will read saved message back, and it will report this
        condition correctly.

        * ex2/template:
        Corrected a typo (attachtment=>attachment).
        Spotted by Michael Kubecka <mkubecka@swansystems.com>

        * avcheck.c:
        Restored mistakely deleted -w option handling.
        Spotted by Ralf Hildebrandt <Ralf.Hildebrandt@charite.de> and
        Adi Prasaja <adi@acme.com>

        * Added CVS IDs

        * Added back -w option (was mistakely deleted)

        * New Slovak translation (ex2/sk), thanks to
          Peter KLFMANiK Mann <Peter.Mann@tuke.sk>

        * German translation of README.Postfix - Ralf Hildebrandt

This version introduces an incompatibility.  In order to use it,
please add `flags=q' into postfix's pipe(8) commandline in master.cf.
Example from README.Postfix:

# ==================================================================
# service  type private unpriv chroot wakeup  maxproc command + args
#               (yes)   (yes)  (yes)  (never) (50)
# ==================================================================
avcheck    unix -       n      n      -       5      pipe
        flags=q user=avclient argv=/var/spool/avp/avcheck
        -d /var/spool/avp/./tst -s AVP:/var/spool/avp/ctl/AvpCtl
        -f ${sender} -S :1025 -- ${recipient}

The long-standing issue with "space-containing" addresses should
be solved, finally.

Enjoy!

Regards,
 Michael.
