No need for that. ClamAV is able to detect encrypted archives created by
Bagle.

[Clamav-users] clamd, minor bug with logging

2004-03-19 Thread Sergey
Hello.

I known what clamd have 2 bugs. 

I can't say more about first (I sent some
information about it to bugs#clamav.net some
days ago and to Nigel Horne today), but first
explore second: some logged messages have not
"\n". Log examples:

Thu Mar 18 18:06:06 2004 -> ERROR: pthread_create failedThu Mar 18 18:06:06 2004 -> 
ERROR: pthread_create failedThu Mar 18 18:06:06 2004 -> ERROR: pthread_create failed

Tue Mar 16 18:52:25 2004 -> ERROR: accept() failed: Too many open filesTue Mar 16

Possible it's similar with my problem... What is in clamd.log at this 
time ? 

I my logs:
Tue Mar 16 18:52:25 2004 -> ERROR: accept() failed: Too many open files
on 2.2 kernel and
Thu Mar 18 18:06:06 2004 -> ERROR: pthread_create failed
on 2.4 kernel

mail traffic is similar too (sometimes it more one message per second;
middle in day about 100K)

Please don't top-post.

The only technical problem with your old clamav version was the outdated

I can see same things in my logs. It's sendmail
8.12.10+clamd+clamav-milter v 0.70-rc on Solaris9 (sparc).
It happens only for few sender adresses (always the same),
other mail is accepted/rejected properly. And not necessarily for
big messages - it happens for small too. After enabling syslog
I found lines like below :

-

stat=Please try again later
-

I've found in clamav-milter.c this "write failure to clamd"; it's in
clamfi_send() function, just after calling checkClamd(). It appears
like checking if clamd is alive ? But it is, next mail form another
sender is properly received...
Can't understand it, maybe Nigel could explain ?

Thanks for your answer.

I already began to receive "infected mails"  ;-)
I put them in a special mailbox. It works perfectly.
At this time, I'd like the recipient to be warned of a quarantined mail. 
I tried many things but I never succeeded to except if I also warn the 
sender. (what I don't want)

Any idea .

I'm hoping that this urandom problem is addressed in the future.  I'm not
exactly sure of what the problem is and why clamd hangs, disabling
/dev/urandom should not be the fix, but rather the workaround.

I think, today 99,9% of mails with viruses or worms contain no usefull
information for our recipients, so to warn them is nearly senseless.

just my 2 cents.

Hi

Thanks for your help.

However, last night I uninstalled clam, and installed as source.

The real problem is that the first time round I had not read the 
instructions properly..doh!

Anyway the problem is now sorted.

Again thanks for your kind help.

You're right, but some users reject the idea that theyre email may be
deleted without warning. If you want to send warning, it's better to
notify the recipient than the 99,9% of time innocent sender.

Once the users see how many virus or virus notifications they recieve,
they quickly ask theyre admin to drop them all. So, the best thing to
do is to offer three choises : keep the detected virus, send a
notification or drop quietly.

The notification is be the best default. The users don't recieve the
virus and they are seeing that the admin take care of theyre mailboxes
:-)

[Clamav-users] Postmaster bounces and such.

2004-03-19 Thread Robert Schmidt
We tend to forward the postmaster account off our each of our mail
servers to other central servers that the admins read it on. If the
postmaster account receives a virus (they are fairly popular addresses
for spam and virus email) they will try to forward it on. The problem is
if that central server is using ClamAV it will bounce the message back
to the originating server.

It would be fine if the originating server never got the virus in the
first place, but we have to run ClamAV in an "accept on time-out" mode
in case the milter has disappeared, so it is quite possible that viruses
end up on the machine.

This wouldn't be so bad except that sendmail doesn't like it when
postmaster is undeliverable and will stop processing the rest of the
mail queue.

Any general ideas? One idea was adding using "nobodyreturn" in the
sendmail PrivacyOptions.

Or is there a way (or a plan) to make ClamAV per-user configurable so we
can just accept all postmaster mail? We use clamav-milter, I suppose
that is a consideration as well. Some other milters could possibly
handle it differently...


Thanks all. (and special thanks to Nigel who has been working on a bug
to fix a memory consumption issue that will really help us out).

2004-03-19 Thread Spike Ilacqua

I was seeing those to, they seem to go with a message:

clamav-milter[55529]: write failure to clamd

I added "--dont-scan-on-error" to the clamav-milter args, which stopped
the rejections, but obviously doesn't solve the underlying problem.

MaxThreads is 1000 and MaxConnectionQueueLength 100 (it's a busy mail
server).  I think it has something to do with the particular message,
because the same message will fail more than once if deferred by the
milter.

I'm running 67l (the latest in the ports collection) on FreeBSD 4.9.

Mine looked different than that (this was before I enabled verbose
logging and it hasn't messed up since).  Here's from box #1:
stream: Worm.Mydoom.F FOUND
stream: Worm.Bagle.Gen-1 FOUND
Session 1 stopped due to timeout.
Segmentation fault :-( Bye..

And here's a little later on on the same box:
Session 2 stopped due to timeout.
stream: Worm.Bagle.Gen-1 FOUND
stream: Worm.SomeFool.Gen-2 FOUND
SelfCheck: Database status OK.
Segmentation fault :-( Bye..

Here's from box #3:
Session 2 stopped due to timeout.
Session 0 stopped due to timeout.
Session 3 stopped due to timeout.
Segmentation fault :-( Bye..

And a little later on on the same box:
Session 0 stopped due to timeout.
stream: Worm.SomeFool.Gen-1 FOUND
Session 2 stopped due to timeout.
stream: Worm.SomeFool.Gen-1 FOUND
Segmentation fault :-( Bye..

Since I've started my testing, I've made the logging much more verbose
than above and used the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable setting. 
The system has been running solidly for 19 hours now.  If I was a
betting man, I'd say that the environment variable fixed things, but I
have to also acknowledge that it never segfaulted while I was debugging
with the verbose logging.  So technically it could be either one.  Like
I said though, my money is on the environment variable.

> mail traffic is similar too (sometimes it more one message per second;
> middle in day about 100K)

Here's what my boxen are doing loadwise:
Inbound per day totals:
Mar 18 -> 55284
Delivered, both local and aliases:
Mar 18 -> 7199
Refused by remote systems:
Mar 18 -> 5480
Queued and probably delivered later:
Mar 18 -> 17
Detected and rejected as spam
Mar 18 -> 23498
Detected and rejected as virus
Mar 18 -> 205
Refused/Dropped due to remote system errors:
Mar 18 -> 992

I note that the spam levels dropped tremendously yesterday.  I was
rejecting about 35K a day.  That's because spammers on Wednesday started
using accented a e i o and u characters and SpamAssassin doesn't catch
those with its current definitions (SA 2.63) which seem to be primarily
English only.

@ is used to define an array in perl.  Since you have in it double
quotes, perl is trying to interpret arrays @localhost and @domaine. 
Either change it to single quotes as I have shown above or escape the @
by doing \@, as in:

$mailfrom_notify_spamadmin = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";   # line498

Clamd uses /etc/clamav.conf in which there is a setting to specify which
user clamd runs as.  It may be that clamd is running as clamav and your
/var/spool/qmailscan dir is owned by qscand.

[Clamav-users] sendmail out of memory after enabling clmilter

2004-03-19 Thread Steven Stern
Pardon if this has been discussed in the archives.  I searched on various
keywords with either no luck or too many hits to be useful. 

I've installed clam 0.70RC and clam-mailter 0.70RC from the RPMs onto a system
running Fedora Core 1 with sendmail 8.12.10.

clamav runs fine, but when I put the milter into the equation, it disables
sendmail:

this is in /var/log/messages

Mar 19 13:37:19 ciscy clamav-milter: ClamAv, mi_rd_cmd: read returned -1:
Connection reset by peer

At the same time in /var/log/maillog

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:00:00
Mar 19 13:37:19 ciscy sendmail[17107]: i2JJbJF6017107: SYSERR(root): out of

The milter is invoked as (commented out for now)

dnl #
dnl # this enables the clamAV mailter
dnl #
dnl # INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clmilter',`S=local:/var/run/clamav/clmilter.sock,F=,

dnl # define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `clmilter')

The appropriate processes seem to be running

[Clamav-users] clamd and logging to /dev/stdout

2004-03-19 Thread Andrej Trobentar
Hello all,

I'm trying to set up clamd with multilog. I have followed the post 
located on 
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg06804.html, 
but if I set LogFile to /dev/stdout and do a "svc -d /service/clamd ; 
svc -u /service/clamd" I get a zombie process (Z flag in "ps ax"). If I 
ommit the LogFile (or use LogSyslog) everything works fine. My 
clamav.conf looks like this :

LogFile /dev/stdout
LocalSocket /tmp/clamd
TCPAddr 127.0.0.1
StreamSaveToDisk
MaxThreads 20
MaxDirectoryRecursion 15
User qscand
Foreground
ScanMail
ScanArchive
ScanRAR
ArchiveMaxFileSize 10M
ArchiveMaxRecursion 5
ArchiveMaxFiles 1000
ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio 200
I'm using ClamAV version 0.67-1, RH 7.3, kernel 2.6.3. What am I doing 
wrong?

Thanks in advice and have a nice day,

	Andrej.

We bounce messages that have viruses. We decided that was the least bad
thing to do with mail that has viruses. All notification options have
downsides and we thought this was the least bad. What do you do?

From what I read through configure is that when using

been
running 14+ hours without a single hang and all the databases seem to 
have
loaded with a second or two instead of multiple minutes.

I'm hoping that this urandom problem is addressed in the future.  I'm 
not
exactly sure of what the problem is and why clamd hangs, disabling
/dev/urandom should not be the fix, but rather the workaround.
Well, I went back and rebuilt clamd with --disable-urandom and thats 
exactly what it does.  It comments out the define of C_URANDOM.  I 
don't quite see how it does that yet, but thats not important.  It make 
clamd stable for me.  I agree that not checking for errors in the read 
statement is incorrect, but the workaround does work.

I don't have any problems with the milter itself crashing, but clamd 
dies every other day or so it seems, but that problem was worked around 
by running clamdwatch.pl in a cronjob every minute. I'm not sure how you 
could check to make sure the milter itself hasn't gone to sleep, but it

That sounds like a terrible idea.

The number of viruses which do not have forged sender addresses these days is 
so small that you can ignore them.

If you bounce the rest, you are sending unwanted and irrelevant emails to 
innocent users who didn't send anything to you, and who will regard your 
bounce messages basically as spam.

Well, that's my 2p, anyway.

Antony.

[Clamav-users] sendmail: clmilter.sock is unsafe

2004-03-19 Thread Steven Stern
I've made some progress. The sendmail out of memory stuff is gone, but now
sendmail is complaining that the clmilter.sock is unsafe.  I've Googled myself
into a tizzy, but can't find a fix.


These errors are in /var/log/maillog.

Mar 19 15:22:45 ciscy sendmail[18114]: i2JLMjNR018114: Milter (clmilter):
local socket name /var/run/clamav/clmilter.sock unsafe
Mar 19 15:22:45 ciscy sendmail[18114]: i2JLMjNR018114: Milter (clmilter): to
error state

This is how the milter is referenced in sendmail.mc

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clmilter',`S=local:/var/run/clamav/clmilter.sock,F=,
T=S:4m;R:4m')dnl
define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `clmilter')

The mailter and daemon seem to be running as expected 

# ps -ef |grep clam
clamav   17615 1  0 14:18 ?00:00:00 /usr/sbin/clamd
clamav   17637 1  0 14:18 ?00:00:00 /usr/sbin/clamav-milter
--max-children=10 --force-scan --quiet --dont-log-clean --server=localhost
local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock

The milter config file follows:

[/etc/sysconfig]# more clamav-milter
CLAMAV_FLAGS="--max-children=10 --force-scan --quiet --dont-log-clean
--server=localhost local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock"

The director and run files seem apropriately secured:

# ls -ld /var/run/clamav/
drwx-T  2 clamav clamav 4096 Mar 19 14:18 /var/run/clamav/

# ls -l /var/run/clamav/

I've also tried changing the directory security to

drwxr--r--  2 clamav root 4096 Mar 19 15:37 clamav

Right, I saw single message from particular address rejected many times,

Worse than that, if the virus is still attached, you're now sending it to
someone who might not have otherwise received it.  You're helping to
spread the infection.

When I say bounce I mean reject. We try not to accept them. But
sometimes we end up accepting them and they will "bounce" back. If we
warn sender we will often be sending messages to people who have been
spoofed (it will always go to the sender's email address). If we warn
recipient then they will flood us asking for information about email
that has been sent to them.

Rejection is fairly popular, but it is a game of hot potato. Someone's
smtp server has the message and will need to deal with it. It is bad
practice to drop messages in the round file and not tell anyone about
it.

[Clamav-users] sendmail: clmilter.sock is unsafe: I AM AN IDIOT

2004-03-19 Thread Steven Stern
I am an idiot.

The sock file was defined with one name in sendmail.mc and another in the
configuration file for the milter itself. I made them the same and sendmail is
happy.


so what's supposed to happen when it detects a virus? When I send myself a
message with eicar.com attached,  this header gets added, but nothing is done:

X-Virus-Scanned: clamd / ClamAV version 0.70rc, clamav-milter version 0.70


clamav-milter is started with these parms:

/usr/sbin/clamav-milter -lo --max-children=10 --force-scan --quiet
--dont-log-clean --server=localhost local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock

Depends on what he meant by "bounce".  These days, I find it useful to
distinguish between "reject" and "send notification".

I'll readily agree that creating new notification messages is just
stupid.  Rejecting the message (with a 550 status, for example) is the
best thing to do.  This leaves it up to the machine sending the virus to
generate a bounce.  Given that the sender is almost always the infected
machine, no bounce will be generated.  This has the (minor) downside
that messages that came through a relay first will generate a bounce
(from the relay) to an innocent third party.  On the other hand, it has
the (major) upside that it is robust against false positives, while
minimizing the number of bounce messages being passed around.

The message gets quarantined and no one is notified.  When most virii sent
are not from actual people, why even bother bouncing the message?

The sock file was defined with one name in sendmail.mc and another in the
configuration file for the milter itself. I made them the same and sendmail is
happy.
so what's supposed to happen when it detects a virus? When I send myself a
message with eicar.com attached,  this header gets added, but nothing is done:
X-Virus-Scanned: clamd / ClamAV version 0.70rc, clamav-milter version 0.70

clamav-milter is started with these parms:

/usr/sbin/clamav-milter -lo --max-children=10 --force-scan --quiet
--dont-log-clean --server=localhost local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.sock

You probably want the -b option to reject the DATA phase of the SMTP 
session if the milter detects a virus.

[Clamav-users] New version of clamav for windows

2004-03-19 Thread Brian Bruns
Hello all,

Its been a while, but I just uploaded a completely new build of clamav for
Windows.  Its based off of today's CVS.

http://www.sosdg.org/clamav-win32

I still haven't gotten the DLL version to build or work properly (ie:
cygclamav-90.dll thing, or whatever its called).

This version also includes the latest virusdb, and should be somewhat stable.

I finally got it to work:

Sendmail gets all barfy if the directory is group writable. The key was
changing the ownership of the directory from root to clamav.

How do I set sendmail and/or the milter to reject the message with a 550?
Right now, the message just seems to disappear and a message goes into root's
mailbox.

Yea thats how we do it here, I wasn't thinking mail being delivered 
locally (or how it would handle that). Our sendmail box is just a relay 
gateway for a few rbls and milters before being passed onto 
spamassassin/amavisd and a pop3 server.

That's better, but still makes the problem worse.  At the very least, you
should filter out rejections from worms.

Not if the message was not sent out by a human, but by an automatic system
designed to cause problems (which get exacerbated by rejections that
cause nothing but added traffic and confusion).
