Hello,
It looks possible to have clamd running on a separate box, running
clamdscan locally. However, the man page doesn't seem to indicate how
to get clamdscan to contact the remote clamd. Also, the config files
for the latest 0.75 version recommend running the daemon only in local
mode (using a Unix domain socket), though you could effectively lock the
box down with iptables rules.
The other question is, how do you intend to integrate with qmail? There
are several ways to call an external content scanner with qmail. Here
are a few options:
1) qmail-scanner
http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net/
2) manually replacing the qmail-queue binary with a shell script of your
own calling whichever scanner you choose
3) dual-mta setup (phenomenal site on doing this)
http://www.imladris.sk/howto/howto_dual_mta.html
Depending on the setup you choose, figuring out how to separate the clam
components may not be necessary (for instance, amavis on the remote box
calling clamdscan/clamd locally). Or, that an external box isn't
necessary.
