Hello,
Just out of curiosity, is there a way to run clamd on a
dedicated server, so that clamdscan could process the messages on
the remote machine? 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. Any
assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I have five mail servers. All have the same tools installed for mta
(Sendmail), milter (J-Chkmail), Antivirus (Clamav), syslog-ng for
logging. All are under configuration control of Cfengine.
These systems are in a 5-way DNS roundrobin arrangement whereby any
one of them can handle any function, or all of them. If a system
goes down there are 4 more to do the work and I don't get a
call-out. All you need is to enable your various tools to use tcp
sockets. Otherwise it matters not where the binaries are running.
Clamav-milter can do this automagically with no need to set up DNS or
any other system.
Quite nicely, too, and I'd use it but I'd set up my systems before
clamav-milter was an option, and the spam milter I use has clamav
support integrated. This gives me one less milter to run. The DNS
configuration also opens up a lot of nice options for system
resiliance like last evening when one of the machines decided to shed
a boot mirror. :(
So to the OP, yes, there are lots of ways to do it.

I want to thank everyone for all the input so far, currently I am
calling clamdscan through simscan on a QMail box running vpopmail. In
order to call the clamav-milter, would I just change the configure
options for simscan to use that instead of clamdscan? I'm just trying
to finalize the procedure involved in migrating it over to the dedicated
server setup. One of the previous responses said I just needed to
change the clamd.conf to specify the
IP of the server and the port, which would be more effective, the milter
or the clamdscan configuration?
Thanks again,
Nicolas MacPherson
