Hello all,

I have searched the archives, FAQ, and docs, but was unable to find any info I could use. If I have missed it please feel free to RTFM (hopefully with a link) me.

I have a public email/web/dns server, although it does these functions very well, if I add email scanning (spamassassin) to the process, it tends to bring the machine to it's knees. I solved this problem by moving the actual spam scanning to another machine. I figured that because clamd can be run as a daemon, I should be able to do the same with virus scanning, by now, I'm sure, you can figure out it is not working.

I'm running exim4-daemon-heavy with exiscan on Debian(sarge). The error I get is:

malware acl condition: clamd: ClamAV returned /var/spool/exim4/scan/[message-id]: Access denied. ERROR

I suspect clamd on the remote server is looking on it's own file system and not finding the file. Can I pass the file to be scanned via the network? What am I doing wrong? Or am I missing the point entirely, and clamd will not work via network.

Thanks in advance...
John
