I can't answer why you get "PDF support disabled", but I will tell you that enabling this will have no effect on your pdf spam. (Sure you're editing the right clamd.conf? what's clamconf say?) The SaneSecurity add-on signatures do a pretty good job of catching these pdf spams, and does not depend on clamav PDF support. http://sanesecurity.co.uk/clamav/usage.htm the pdf sigs are in the "scam" database I'm a huge fan of the SaneSecurity signatures and highly recommend them to anyone who wants to expand clamav's anti-phish & anti-scam capabilities. -- Noel Jones _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
