If you install Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux 10 on a mail server that is running Sophos PureMessage for UNIX, you must make sure that scanning of MIME files is disabled in Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux 10. This is because scanning MIME files with Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux 10 might prevent PureMessage from accessing files that contain viruses. By default, MIME scanning is disabled.
On a computer that is using non-UTF-8 and non-ASCII encoding, to install from the deployment package that is created by mkinstpkg.sh, run the installation script as follows:
LANG=C ./sophos-av/install.sh
Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux 10 can be installed on computers that are using ja_JP.eucJP and ja_JP.UTF8. Installation on computers with ja_JP.sjis locale (Japanese with Shift-JIS encoding) is not supported.
If you install Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux 10 from an NFS filesystem, Sophos Remote Management System won't start.
To work around this, use an alternative installation source instead, for example a Samba share.
You can find technical support for Sophos products in any of these ways:
