I have the following setup:
Fedora Core 2 Sendmail 8.13.1 MIMEDefang 2.44 SpamAssassin 2.64 ----------------- ClamAV 0.75
I've got a working setup of Sendmail, MIMEDefang and SpamAssassin, and working on adding ClamAV to the mix.
For the moment, I've gone the route of launching ClamAV as a Sendmail milter (rather than from MIMEDefang), as described at http://linux.sgms-centre.com/howto/sendmailclamav.php (which makes no mention at all of MIMEDefang). Having previously run RAV as a Sendmail milter, this method is one that is fairly easy to do.
However, I discover that when run ClamAV as a milter, ClamAV works fine on filtering viruses, but it seems to cause MIMEDefang to be completely ignored -- among other things, incoming messages have no X-Spam-Status headers (as inserted by MD), but do have X-ClamAV headers. When I disabled ClamAV, MIMEDefang activity shows up again.
The relevant sections of my sendmail.mc (with ClamAV):
define(`_FFR_MILTER', `true')dnl INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang',`S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock,F=T,T=S:2m;R:2m')dnl INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clmilter',`S=local:/var/milter/clmilter.sock, F=, T=S:4m;R:4m')dnl define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `clmilter')
Is there something I'm missing in my ClamAV definitions, or would I be better off calling ClamAV from MIMEDefang? If the latter, what do I need to have in my mimedefang-filer file?
Also, a related question -- what's the best way of getting the clamd and clamav-milter daemons launched at start time?
I've seen several different suggestions. The linux.sgms-centre site suggests simply adding clamd and clamav-milter calls to the rc.local file. I'm suspicious of this one, because I'm pretty sure that the ClamAV daemons should be started before MD and Sendmail start.
I've also seen advice of putting these in the mimedefang rc.d file, but my preference would be to do a startup file that's separate -- running as S78(-something), where the ClamAV daemons can be started/stopped/restarted independently of MIMEDefang. Can somebody point me to a link that has a useful startup script?
Thanks in advance.
