Hi there,

We have a few hundred PDFs that contain strings that trigger the DLP
as credit card or SSN strings. These are false positives. The files
have been examined to make sure that such private information is not
in them, but there is real information that fits the same structure
and triggers the DLP. We would like to continue to use DLP but do
not want to wade through this long list of false positives every day.

You can create a database containing the signatures which you do not
wish to cause files to be flagged as suspect.  It's explained in the
ClamAV user documentation.

Is there some mechanism to have a "false positive" exception file
listing all the files that we know are false positives, so that
Clamav will not report that on it?

Standard Unix/Lilnux tools can do that for you very easily.
