> I have just installed clamav on Debian, updated and tested it at virustest.org. It didn't detect any of the test viruses, even those in the message body. I ran clamscan and clamdscan from the command line. Clamscan found nothing, clamdscan found them all and also the mydoom.gen-1 worm. Can anyone tell me why clamscan doesn't seem to be scanning messages or how to set clamdscan to scan messages? I'm also not clear what action clamav takes on viruses it finds. Is mydoom still there or has it been deleted? How do I know? Again, it depends on the "glue" between ClamAV and your MTA. I just use procmail to call the Clamassassin script (Google clamassassin) and then procmail will dispose of the mail according to what I set. Right now I tell procmail to send it to /dev/null if a virus is detected. However, you could send it to a separate mailbox for later review. Amavis, Mailscanner and others can be set up to do what you want. I think procmail and clamassassin is the easiest setup for us newbies. _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
