Hello all, I haven't used UNIX in the past 10 years and this is my first go at Linux, so please be patient if some of my question seem a bit obvious to the rest of you. Rest assured that I have looked up every FAQ and HowTo known to Google on this subject and I still can't seem to get things to work quite properly. I have Exim4 running and it's sending and receiving e-mail with applomb. However, I cannot seem to get Clam to work properly, even though I have been following this HowTo (http://koivi.com/exim4-config/). It seems to me that Clam isn't scanning e-mail as it arrives at the server. Clam seems to be running:
jennifer:/var/log/exim4# ps -efa | grep clamd root 21794 1 0 17:13 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/clamd I have included it in my /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/01_exim4-config_listmacrosdefs: ###################################################################### # MAIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS # ###################################################################### # This tells what virus scanner to user av_scanner = clamd:/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl # Slowing spammers down by holding their connection a bit TEERGRUBE = 60s <snip> However, if I change my /etc/exim4/conf.d/acl/40_exim4-config_check_data from: ### acl/40_exim4-config_check_data ################################# acl_check_data: # accept otherwise accept to this: ### acl/40_exim4-config_check_data ################################# acl_check_data: deny message = This message contains a virus ($malware_name) and has been r$ demime = * malware = * # accept otherwise accept ALL e-mail is rejected. The /var/log/exim4/paniclog is full of this: 2005-06-25 20:37:43 1DmM5f-0006bp-Br demime acl condition: error while creating mbox spool file When I look in /var/log/clamav/clamav.log, I see no mention of scanning anything. Does anyone have any idea what is happening and how I can fix it? Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. My apologies for such a long post, but I wanted to put in all the pertinent information I could think of to speed a solution.
