Hi all! I'm trying to integrate Postfix (chrooted) with ClamAV and am
looking for some information about this. It seems that the old fashioned
style of configuring Postfix + amavisd-new now days is not recommended
(performance) and that the best available options are: (1) ClamAV-milter
with Postfix's Milter support or (2) ClamSMTP.
Can somebody enlightenment me about which method is the most common used
and which advantages/disadvantages do they have ? any problem with a
Postfix chrooted environment ? is there a good tutorial on this?,
googling didn't help…
Thanks in advance.
JC.
clamav-milter (with ClamAV 0.95.3) works fine.
We use clamav-milter during pre-queue so that we can 5xx during SMTP and
not deal with it past that point. No need to worry about whether we're
generating backscatter or sending a neutered message (which is 99.9%
spam anyway) onward into the user's mailbox.
Just put it towards the end of the list so that other, cheaper, checks
can reject the mail before you get into the expensive stuff like content
filtering.
