# Comment or remove the line below.
#Example
# Uncomment this option to enable logging.
# LogFile must be writable for the user running the daemon.
# Full path is required.
LogFile /var/log/clamd.log
# By default the log file is locked for writing - the lock protects against
# running clamd multiple times (if want to run another clamd, please
# copy the configuration file, change the LogFile variable, and run
# the daemon with --config-file option). That's why you shouldn't uncomment
# this option.
#LogFileUnlock
# Maximal size of the log file. Default is 1 Mb.
# Value of 0 disables the limit.
# You may use 'M' or 'm' for megabytes (1M = 1m = 1048576 bytes)
# and 'K' or 'k' for kilobytes (1K = 1k = 1024 bytes). To specify the size
# in bytes just don't use modifiers.
LogFileMaxSize 20M
# Log time with an each message.
LogTime
# Log also clean files. May be useful in debugging but will drastically
# increase the log size.
LogClean
# Use system logger (can work together with LogFile).
LogSyslog
# Enable verbose logging.
LogVerbose
# This option allows you to save the process identifier of the listening
# daemon (main thread).
PidFile /var/spool/MIMEDefang/clamd.pid
# Optional path to the global temporary directory.
# Default is system specific - usually /var/tmp or /tmp.
TemporaryDirectory /var/tmp
# Path to the database directory.
# Default is the hardcoded directory (mostly /usr/local/share/clamav,
# but it depends on installation options).
#DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav
DatabaseDirectory /usr/local/share/clamav
# The daemon works in local or network mode. Currently the local mode is
# recommended for security reasons.
# Path to the local socket. The daemon doesn't change the mode of the

# Files in archives larger than this limit won't be scanned.
# Value of 0 disables the limit.
# WARNING: Due to the unrarlib implementation, whole files (one by one) in RAR
# archives are decompressed to the memory. That's why never disable
# this limit (but you may increase it of course!)
ArchiveMaxFileSize 30M
# Archives are scanned recursively - e.g. if Zip archive contains RAR file,
