Hello
I have a problem and I installed a MailScanner and the Clamav six time and the RH9, three.
In the maillog, when MailScanner analyzes the message (a mail with eicar.com attached), it write
***Dec 4 17:25:18 mailx MailScanner[5354]: ERROR: Unable to create temporary directory. ***
I wrote to Julian Field, from MailScanner, and he told me this message isn't present in source of MailScanner so must be a message from Clamav.
If I change the 'Virus Scanner' in MailScanner.conf to none, the error not happen.
Do you have a /tmp directory on your system?
Do the permissions on this directory allow the clamav user to write to it?
Do you have the $TMPDIR environment variable set? (If so, what is it)?
It is not difficult to find the text of this error message in the ClamAV source code, and to identify which section of the code can produce it. It is also fairly self-explanatory - it says that ClamAV was unable to create itself a working directory in /tmp (or wherever your system has allocated for temporary usage by applications).
From that findings I suspect that Luciano uses some older snapshot/release (at least before 0.65). So please upgrade.
Yep.
It is almost certainly a permissions problem.
