I'm current struggling to get the DLP detection in ClamAV to work.
I've linked my clamd.conf and sendmail.cf files for reference. It's
possible I don't really understand how the detection works so I'll
describe how I'm testing it.

Clamd.conf: http://www.bawcsa.org/~bgahl/clamd.conf
Sendmail.cf: http://www.bawcsa.org/~bgahl/sendmail.cf

First off, I've confirmed that ClamAV is, indeed, scanning email. When
I send the eicar.com file to a local account on the system, the email
gets rejected by ClamAV by:

a) sending an email to the sender indicating that a virus is detected.
b) offending email ends up in the ClamAV quarantine.

To test the DLP detection, I'm putting:

SSN: 555-55-5555

in the body of the test email when I send it. The target address of
the email is the machine that ClamAV is running on. I have, in fact,
put my actual SSN in the email as well. In either case, the email is
passed w/o detection.

Note that I have tested SSNs with and without hyphens. I've also tried
turning on both detection mechanisms as well as either one (as I'm not
sure the detection is either/or or both/and. Nothing seems to work.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
