Amavisd - Socket Error

[shaun33]

Hi.
I have installed AMAVISD as per the Wiki on a new sx install on Cent OS 5.
All went well except i am getting an error when I start Sendmail that the socket can't be found. And then in the logs when i mail it sayign that its unsafe. I am assuming this is a perms issue.

Starting Sendmail

[root@lion amavis]# sudo service sendmail restart

My sendmail.mc

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`milter-amavis', `S=local:/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock, F=T, T=S:10m;R:10m;E:10m')dnl

use the clamd sock and NOT amavisd , make sure your sendmail.mc and your clamd.conf setting match

more /etc/sysconfig/clamav-milter

SOCKET_ADDRESS="local:/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock"

your almost there !

The clam av milter isn't even installed, my understanding is that the amavisd controlls the clamav and the spamassisan. Wouldn't handings it to clamav mean that only the virus is getting done.

im trying to follow http://www.scalix.com/wiki/index.php?ti ... os/Amavisd

[bikerider]

yes I tried to follow that too, I used all teh rpms from dagg (that were not part of the distro's) folow dagg's setup to add teh repo
and fire it up. (fixes pesky dependency issues)
Way easier IMHO

I also have spamd-milter line
in my sendmail.mc , so I could process X headers and
be very clear about spam controls.

BTW sendmail even without Scalix NEEDS milter(ing)

My preference

Hope this helps

so u just forgot the whole amavid idea and put spamassisan and clamd in speratly using their own milters.
This may be the way i go yet

Ok while installing clam and giving up on maavisd i found this

http://www.issociate.de/board/goto/7220 ... sages.html

more importantly

You have broken quoting in your .mc file, probably using ' rather than `
for the opening quotes. Note that it is complaining about
"clamav-milter.sock''" rather than "clamav-milter.sock" - the former
presumably doesn't exist. Also the milter definition name is "clamva''"
rather than "clamva" (or "clamav":-).

i to was using ' not `. The first bing key beside enter the later being the tilda key.
Trick for windoze users.
