Hi,
It is not automatically updating because to update, this needs to happen: 1. download source 2. ./configure --with-your-specific-options 3. make 4. stop clam daemon 5. Maybe stop or pause other programs, like amavisd or your mail server 6. make install 7. Start everything back up. 8. See if it works. If not, backgrade, or rebuild & try again.
In short, its just too much to do automagically, unless you want to put in a lot of work to try and automate all that.
How about this? Have a script monitor your clamd.log file, looking for the "WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED" message, and email you when it pops up again. Then you'll know its time to update clam. That would be easy.

I can do that, but please tell me why it is not automatically updating. Because this problem might occurs in future also when new version releases. So, I want it to automatically update clam.
Any help appreciated, Regards, Akshat
