Description Daniele E. Domenichelli 2012-07-19 15:22:55 UTC

If the user has an antivirus installed, we could use it to scan received files...

This could be done by the ft-handler or by an observer that starts the job when the ft is finished

Doesn't a normal antivirus do it when an inode is modified anyway?

Comment 2 Daniele E. Domenichelli 2012-07-19 22:36:15 UTC

tbh I never installed an antivirus on linux, so I have no idea

Comment 3 David Edmundson 2012-07-19 23:30:56 UTC

If you don't use one you've got no idea if this is a good feature to add or not.

We should always fix problems we know exist, rather than trying to make up potential problems on behalf of users and then fixing them.
