Besides the fact that I have learned by my self all that I know and I am responding regularly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to users that are in linux just like I am in clamav (to wich list by the way I haven't seen you posting any answers although you sound just like the good samaritean) I have read the clamdoc.pdf and the documentation lacks a good overview of the way the engine works. Second: I am (in fact was) really hurried up by the fact that I want to buy for my organization a av solution for the M$ side (because I have all users and 2 servers on Win2k) and the firms that I have contacted bundled also a linux version of the av. Plus I have 80 stations with all kind of peripherics that all wait for me to pay a little attention so I thought that maybe someone could explain me like I have explained for others - and pay a little attention now - not spoon-feeding them just putting them on the right track. It's not like I asked what are the commands that will put my clam online and working. Third: if you hate my post so much I think the clever thing to do would have been to just delete it and save your reply time and also saving my mental sanity and a day that begun with reading your ... little post. Me for example I couldn't be able to read all posts on the other list so questions like "My X Server doesn't work" and things like that I simply delete them and let other people with much more time and much more experience in X to deal with them. Fourth: I think you missed the ideea of why mailing lists were invented in the first place. Fifth: looking from 1 to 4 I believe I spent too much time showing you things that are "heavier" in comparison to my first question wich you didn't even bother to respond. The things I was showing you regarded humanity and plain-simple courtesy. I will simply delete other postings from you in the following time. So to everyone else but Bert Koelewijn I am sorry if my novicism in clam has bothered you but I would like to read something about a complete solution and I'd like for someone to pinpoint me in the right direction. I am looking for something like NAV Auto-protect, I need to know how to make clam automatically scan incoming and outgoing mail and delete the mail containing infected items. BTW I have installed clam, libclam and clamd. To Jeff Smelser: The problem was really with clamuko wich supposably runs hooked with clamd and scans every file (on the various options) that is accessed or created in the <clamukoincludepath> but it doesn't.  Maybe here I am right ... :). The way the engine works is a little too complicated for what a antivirus is intended to do. >From what I understand from http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net I see that although a clam process is active I need another software for qmail that will will actually scan the mailboxes. I use postfix for MTA and imap for pop3 and imap server. On clamav.net page I could read: on-access scanning (Linux and FreeBSD) and built-in support for Mbox, Maildir and raw mail files according to this I could get ONLY from clam the solution for scanning and deleting infected mails. Maybe someone from here could tell me why not? There are patient people on the planet! ;) Yeah, right. Robert Blayzor wrote: Crucificator wrote: I have installed clamav 0.67 with no problem. I have this one though after installing:) : clamd running clamscan successfully detects infected file included path to /var/spool/mail in clamav.conf If you are running clamd you probably don't want to run clamscan, you want to run clamdscan. However if you are looking for the scanner to "delete" the infected files you have to use clamscan as clamdscan will not do this for you.  Try: clamscan --remove For more info see, man clamd, clamdscan and clamscan. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the new InstallShield X.
