Clamav

[rex007can]

Is there a howto for server 10.1 for configuring ONLY clamav, not the whole amavisd thing.
I only want virus scanning. Already got MailWasher taking care of spam.

Please go to http://www.scalix.com/support/knowledgebase.html. If you use the search string "clamav", it will return a How To for you.

Good.
Thanks.

By the way, when compiled on RedHat, Clamav installes clamdscan in /usr/local/bin, not in /usr/bin
It may be the same in other distros, haven't tried it.


The engine not being able to find clamdscan causes the server to put every incoming and outgoing message in the error queue.

Just so you know. (Don't ask me how I found out...)

If you are building from source ( rather than installing the RPM ), you need to use --prefix=/usr with the configure command otherwise it *will* be installed in /usr/local/bin

It's intentional that messages are added to the error queue if virus scanning is configured but not working correctly. Would you rather we allowed virus-infected messages through

Not what I was implying.
I usually edit the omvscan.cfg file from the .../sys folder to point it at the right place. But I almost get caught every time I run an upgrade.

Please read the HowTo.

There are specific instructions on making the clamav user part of the Scalix group to avoid this error.

But I did make clamav part of the scalix group.
And I have clamd running as clamav
Must be something stupid.

Fixed...

Running clamd as root...
