[Clamav-users] How to make ClamAV scan incoming email received by qmail on Plesk

2007-03-10 Thread fcgmail
Hi,

I've seen a few posts on ClamAV and Plesk, but as a newbie, i still don't 
have a clue on certain things. i already have qmail working with 
Spamassassin on Plesk on CentOS, and i've just installed ClamAV 0.9 from 
source. The clamd daemon is running. The question is:

How to make ClamAV scan incoming email?

And also if it's made to work with qmail, how can i make it not to scan 
outgoing email?

Any hint will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks to everyone for the valuable info! All are good points!

It seems i've indeed been a little naive thinking of not scanning outgoing
mail. My server (a VPS environment) has about 30 mail accounts, and might
increase in the future. Anyway, that's not the most important.

i'm not a sys admin, but can follow instructions on how to set things up.

i haven't found instruction on setting ClamAV to scan email on a system that
uses qmail under Plesk. But i know that qmail-scanner might work with it. My
server uses qmail and Courier IMAP to receive mail. And i've read that qmail
under Plesk is not exactly the same as Qmail proper.

i guess i just need to know where the hook is between ClamAV and qmail, if i
don't use something like qmail-scanner. Or if someone can suggest a good
working combination, that would be great!

Thanks a million!
