Even though I built the latest ClamAV (0.102.1) with the 'configure' option "--disable-ipv6", freshclam tried using IPv6 addresses when it failed to connect via IPv4 due to a firewall rule (which I now changed to allow port 443 as well as port 80).
This rule was part of hardening our mail server a bit by blocking most outbound connections, so I had added explicit pass-thru for the clamav.net IPv4 addresses -- previously only port 80, now also 443. (And I had to allow these outbound connections because my previous attempts at local mirroring collapsed with the switch to Cloudflare: the CVD files on the BOS Cloudflare mirror seemed to be out of date a lot, as discussed in my previous postings). P.S. As far as I can tell, disallowing IPv6 everywhere within, in to and out of our small LAN, does not block anything of importance. Does anyone know of anything on the Internet that is IPv6 *only*, and is important enough to justify spending weeks of work rebuilding our firewall (not to mention reconfiguring everything else)? _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
