Hello I Hope this is the right place to post documentation issues From the 4.6.x pdf
40.1 Scanning for viruses The malware ACL condition lets you connect virus scanner software to Exim. It supports a “generic” interface to scanners called via the shell, and specialized interfaces for “daemon” type virus scanners, which are resident in memory and thus are much faster. You can set the av_ scanner option in first part of the Exim configuration file to specify which scanner to use, together with any additional options that are needed. The basic syntax is as follows: av_scanner = <scanner-type>:<option1>:<option2>:[...] this is corrrect but then....... clamd This daemon-type scanner is GPL and free. You can get it at http:// www.clamav.net/. Some older versions of clamd do not seem to unpack MIME containers, so it used to be recommended to unpack MIME attachments in the MIME ACL. This no longer believed to be necessary. One option is required: either the path and name of a UNIX socket file, or a hostname or IP number, and a port, separated by space, as in the second of these examples: av_scanner = clamd:/opt/clamd/socket av_scanner = clamd:192.168.2.100 1234 sepparated by a colon av_scanner = clamd:192.168.2.100:1234 TESTED ON Exim version 4.62 #2 built 19-Jun-2006 16:04:37 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 2006 Berkeley DB: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.3.27: (December 22, 2004) Support for: crypteq iconv() Content_Scanning IF you enter the parameters as indicated in the clamd part of the docs then exim seems to use a random port -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
