OK, I got clamav-milter running! The problem was that I was starting it using the instructions in the ClamAV documentation on page 25: /usr/local/sbin/clamav-milter -lo /var/clamav/clmilter.sock That does start clamav-milter as shown by ps, but it doesn't seem to work n my system.
I found the clamav-milter start script and copied it to /etc/init.d. I can then do: /etc/init.d/clamav-milter -lo /var/clamav/clmilter.sock That starts something called "t-clamav-milte" as shown by ps and then the milter appears to work correctly: infected mail is returned to the sender. One question remaining is: there is a provision for a clamav-milter.conf configuration file and I've been advised to place it in /etc/conf.d. Since I'm on a RedHat 7 system, I don't have a /etc/conf.d directory. Where should I put this file? How does clamav-milter know to look for this file in that location? The suggested contents for clamav-milter.conf are: START_CLAMAVMILTER=yes CLAMAVMILTER_OPTS=" --config-file=/etc/clamav.conf --max-children=20 --quiet -ol local:/var/lib/clamav/clamav-milter.socket " CLAMAVMILTER_LOG="/var/log/clamav/clamav-milter.log" Also, is there a method for shutting down clamav-milter other than using kill?
