You need to read, study, and understand what each line in the configuration file means. When this is accomplished you won't need to ask this question. If you cannot get to this point you have no foundation to understand the answers given you. Better is to ask specific questions about some feature or option that you don't completely understand, but you had damn well be prepared to understand the answer and talk about it sensibly. There is no magic key you can turn that makes all this run, but it also isn't hard to learn if you apply yourself. Specifically, you can be an expert installer in two weeks if you're diligent. Helpful to include in your questions is the OS you use, the mailer you have, the means by which you intend to invoke the ClamAV tool, the distribution of ClamAV you are using, etc. But if you haven't done the neccessary reading the answers might just as well be written in pictographs from the Kingdom of Tonga for all the good they will do you. Here's a hint - the configuration file is a poor place to start. It is, in fact, where you finish. dp _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
