Hi. I have installed the Debian clamav-milter package. I've configured sendmail to use it and everything seems to be working OK.
clamav-milter does not depend upon clamav-daemon (which contains clamd). When and why would I want to use clamav-milter in combination with clamd? For example, I see that freshclam notifies clamd when the signatures are updated. Does clamav-milter also get these update notifications? And if I install clamav-daemon, does clamav-milter automatically detect it's presence and make use? Or do I have to change the clamav-milter configuration? I see the --external option in the clamav-milter(8) man page, but the explanation is confusing. I specify --external to tell clamav-milter to pass off scanning the mail to clamd, but how do I specify the LocalSocket (the man page says that when --external is used "The setting in clamd.conf for LocalSocket or TCPSocket is ignored." Finally, how would one tell that clamd is being used by clamav-milter, rather than the scanning being handled directly by clamav-milter? Thanks for you help. -- Steve Feehan _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
