I'm running Sendmail, Mailscanner, Spamassasin, and Clamav (0.70rc-1). I would like to upgrade Clamav. Tried yum but it continues to tell me there are no updates available. So on to plan two. I'm going to install from the RPMs but wasn't exactly sure of the process.
This is my plan. 1. Stop Mailscanner (which will effectively stop Sendmail and Clamav, correct?) 2. Save my current clamav.conf to /tmp 3. rpm -e clamav 4. rpm -Uvh new clamav-db rpm package 5. rpm -Uvh new clamav package 6. copy clamav.conf back to /etc 6. restart Mailscanner
You could stop just MS and let Sendmail run so your server still receives mail if you want to. If the packages are two different builds you're correct about removing the old one completely. Remember to compare the two clamav.conf files so you don't miss any options in the new one by overwriting it with your old one.
By the way, clamav.conf is only used by clamd which you're not using with MS. Concentrate on freshclam.conf instead.
Should be a simple five minute upgrade. Post on the MS list if you need more help.
