Hello,
I am using qmail. I've written a scanner which uses libclamav to virus check emails before they get delivered
into local maildirs. Now I would like to run clamd on the seperate server and have my scanner connect to it via TCP/IP
socket. Is there a documented API or an example of how to do it ?
I know clamdscan has the code that does it, but I was wondering if there is a documented API.
You can use the TCPSocket option in clamd.conf to listen on a TCP port.
The commands to send to the socket are documented in the clamd man
page. I guess you'd want to use the STREAM command. This returns an
arbitrary port number you can connect to to scan an arbitrary stream of
data, so as Dennis mentioned, you may need to configure your firewall to
allow these connections to arbitrary port numbers as well as connections
to the main clamd port number.
