Excellent thank you!
I don't know what the long term plans are for the clamd interface (i.e. is
it planned to move to ICAP or to return an XML result like f-prot and
others ?), but I would find it very useful if clamd returned some type
of status code in its response rather than just OK or FOUND.
What I'm trying to do is to give me users an individual option about
whether to block encrypted zips, and at the moment I have to do
!strcmp(virus, "Encrypted.Zip") in my milter which doesn't feel very
clean.
For reference, here's what another daemon style AV scanner returns. I
know now all of them are relevant to Clam but I would like to see more
easily parseable error codes being returned. It's then up to the mail
handling application to make a decision about what it lets through.
0 Not scanned, unable to handle the object.
1 Not scanned due to an I/O error.
2 Not scanned, as the scanner ran out of memory.
3 The object is not of a type the scanner knows. This may
either mean it was misidentified or that it is cor-
rupted.
4 The object was valid, but encrypted and could not be
scanned.
5 Scanning of the object was interrupted.
7 The object was identified as an "innocent" object.
9 The object was successfully scanned and nothing was
found.
11 The object is infected.
I'm happy to submit patches but it's difficult without knowing the overall
direction that the core team want to take.
Thanks for being right on top of the recent virus updates - much better than
the other scanners I have here!
