*Is it possible to configure the "clamd@scan" service to notify me by email if any threats are found?
I am not familiar with the exact package that you are using, but I believe that the service itself will not do that, and you will need to arrange something yourself if you need that feature. Fundamentally ClamAV is one tool in your toolkit. It detects things. If you want it to send a mail message when it detects something, then you need to interface it to another tool. This is the Unix Way of things. See tha 'man' page for 'mail'.
*NOTE:* Examples and/or documentation are most welcome! By the way, I have "sendmail" application configured on all servers in my infrastructure.
Sendmail is a Mail Transfer Agent, or MTA. You will probably need to spend a few years working with Sendmail before you begin to understand it but it is not intended as a mail client. Something like 'mail' can send mail from the command line or a script but doing things like that is beyond the scope of this list. It is not difficult for a competent system administrator.
*IMPORTANT:* I noticed that there is a parameter called "VirusEvent" in the "/etc/clamd.d/scan.conf" file...
The scan.conf file appears to be something provided by your package maintainer, it does not exist in the upstream ClamAV sources, but see the 'man' page for clamd.conf which describes how to use VirusEvent.
[root@localhost ~]# clamscan -V ClamAV 0.101.5/25707/Sun Jan 26 08:40:28 2020
In general, for something like threat detection, you need the software to be kept reasonably up to date. Packages are not always best for that, but to use the upstream sources you need to be able to build software from the sources and you need to be aware of the differences and potential conflicts between packages which are provided by your distribution and tools such as ClamAV which you might install yourself. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ 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
