Bitdefender Antivirus for Linux is a freeware product, although not open source, amavisd will already look for it to scan mail, so we just need to install it. Get it from http://www.bitdefender.com/PRODUCT-63-en--BitDefender-Linux-Edition.html and install. I installed it to the host system instead of OpenPKG because of dependency problems, but you may be able to figure it out ;) Add a crontab entry like:

 /usr/bin/bdc -update

To run once a day, this will update the definitions. Check in /kolab/etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf under antivirus, Bitdefender should not be commented out. Restart amavisd so it can recognise the newly installed av app:

 /kolab/bin/openpkg rc amavisd restart

You can check in /kolab/var/amavisd/amavis.log to check that it has been included, you should see something like:

 Found secondary av scanner Clam Antivirus - /kolab/bin/clamscan at /kolab/bin/clamscan
 Found secondary av scanner BitDefender at /usr/bin/bdc
