Good morning, everybody.
Can anyone advise on disabling archive scanning for ClamAV? I've researched and changed settings, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything. I want to continue scanning mail going through our server, but I want to pass all archives without checking inside. For now.
In /etc/clamd.conf, I uncommented DisableDefaultScanOptions. Then I commented out the ScanArchive option. For good measure, I also changed ArchiveMaxFiles to zero.
After these changes, clamd.log does show "RECOMMENDED OPTIONS DISABLED" and "Archive support disabled" -- but if I email myself a zip file, containing an executable (or other banned filename), it is still rejected. Password protected or not.
I also commented out ArchiveBlockEncrypted. The instructions emailed to you from ClamAV whenever a banned file is encountered tell you to use a password-protected zip file. But even that doesn't work. Why not?
Is there something I'm missing? I've looked at all the mailing list archives, FAQs, online documentation, and more. So far, the methods used above are what it seemed like you need to do.
Thanks, for any help you can offer!
