Hello,
I am a new ClamAV user. I am configuring a new mail server running
Solaris 9 + sendmail 8.13.x.
I have several specific questions, but my first question is one of where
to find more documentation. To date, I have printed out the user guide,
gone through the FAQ several time, looked through the archives and done
some google'ing.
specific questions I have are:
a) since I am using sendmail, I am making the assumption that
compiling/using libmilter is the way to go?
b) if I am using ClamAV as a milter, do I need to run the clamd daemon
or will sendmail just call libclamav.a/so?
c) What is the default behavior when ClamAV receives an email with a
virus? Does it just delete the whole email? Does it quarantine the file
and forward the email to the user? Or is there any action, other than
virus identification when an email arrives with an attached virus.
I did find this line in the clamd.conf file, but I don't know what
command that I would run when a virus is found
<i>Execute a command when virus is found. In the command string</i>
Also, from my google'ing, I came across this page
http://linux-sxs.org/administration/clamav-milter.html
that indicates that email's with viruses are rejected. Is this the only
possible action? Thats OK if it is, I have just yet to run across the
run across the documentation that discusses this. Or, I have over looked it.
d) is ClamAV + Sendmail everything I need, once functional? I am asking
this because several of the links that I came across while google'ing
mentioned using ClamAV in coordination with another product called Amavis.
Also, roughly half of the user manual is filled with "Third Party
Products". Why some of these have obvious purposed (graphing or log
file processing), are there any of these necessary for me to get up and
going in my environment?
TIA for any pointers or URL's where I can RTFM.
