I've decided to explore clamav-milter. The objective is to have a single server where all clamAV process run. Think of it as a virtual AV appliance (Because that is what it is).

The lab environment is a mail server (Solaris 9, Sparc) running sendmail and another server (Solaris 10, X86) that runs clamd and the milter used to extract the attachments and submit them to ClamAV. I have substituted clamav-milter for this function by adding clmilter to sendmail.cf on the mail server. I built and have a running copy of milter-clamav and tried the following command line to start it:

/usr/local/sbin/clamav-milter --external --server=127.0.0.1 \
  --quiet --blacklist=60 --postmaster-only --local \
  -outgoing inet:3311


I'm missing something, obviously. Perhaps this is not a valid architecture?

Solution to first problem: tcpwrappers. Thanks again, Nigel.

Second problem: adding the -I IPaddress option causes a core dump.

Fixed in CVS, thanks for the report.


Third problem: The --blacklist=60 does not work as I expected. I thought it would track the client connecting to the MTA but in fact it is tracking the IP of my MTA which is bad. I'm wondering again about the validity of the architecture.

It is true that the --blacklist option will blacklist the IP address
connecting to clamav-milter, rather than the IP connecting to sendmail, so in this scenario it wouldn't be a useful option to enable. I'll have a look and see it is possible to change that.

Otherwise it's working fine.
