Seeking guidance. My MTA is running Mailscanner 4.65.3 (with sendmail) and ClamAV v0.91.2. The ClamAV was updated yesterday because I was a dot-release behind. Before upgrading clamav, clamd, and clamav-db the solution had been running rock-solid for over a year, but since upgrading during the holiday, I have discovered that my logwatch report gets marked as a virus (all other MTA activity seems to be working as expected).
When the output from /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch job is emailed to me, I get the following message (the only item I've changed is the name "company" was put in place of the real domain); The following e-mails were found to have: Virus Detected Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] IP Address: 127.0.0.1 Recipient: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Logwatch for mail2.company.com (Linux) MessageID: lANHFDnR007319 Quarantine: Report: ClamAVModule: message was infected: Email.Phishing.RB-2041 Full headers are: Return-Path: <g> Received: from mail2.company.com (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by mail2.company.com (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id lANHFDnR007319 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Fri, 23 Nov 2007 10:15:13 -0700 Full-Name: root Received: (from [EMAIL PROTECTED]) by mail2.company.com (8.13.1/8.13.1/Submit) id lANHE6jd006772; Fri, 23 Nov 2007 10:14:06 -0700 Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2007 10:14:06 -0700 Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Logwatch for mail2.company.com (Linux) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I've been banging my head on this one and I cannot seem to put a finger on what changed to cause the logwatch report to get marked as a virus. Output from other scheduled jobs are producing output which is successfully being delivered to root and not being marked as a virus. For some reason, something in the logwatch output seems to be matching a signiature within RB-2041. This is the point at which I get stuck :-( Any help in pointing me in the direction where I can do a better job to troubleshoot this is most welcome. Right now my brain is stuck in a re-boot cycle. -B -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/false-positive---logwatch-report-marked-as-virus-RB-2041-tf4863262.html#a13917052 Sent from the clamav-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
