Yes, just change from using a local socket to a TCP socket in clamd.conf: # Path to a local socket file the daemon will listen on. # Default: disabled #LocalSocket /var/lib/clamav/clamd.socket # Remove stale socket after unclean shutdown. # Default: disabled #FixStaleSocket # TCP port address. # Default: disabled TCPSocket 3310 # TCP address. # By default we bind to INADDR_ANY, probably not wise. # Enable the following to provide some degree of protection # from the outside world. # Default: disabled TCPAddr 1.2.3.4 You can then refer to the appropriate machine from your milter/glue program. For example, in amavis-new, just edit /etc/clamd.conf and replace /var/lib/clamav/clamd.socket with 1.2.3.4:3310 > I'm curious because I work for an ISP that currently runs a > dedicated Spamassassin server, and would like to investigate the > possibility of doing the same for ClamAV.
