Hi all Thank you for the comments. I wrote that email a bit in a hurry, because we have an 'old' installation which uses MIMEDefang where we cannot update clamd (and the OS base) anymore. Clamd keeps crashing with new definition files.
So as a quick fix I got clamd on our new filter installation listining to an inet socket and failed to have this connected from MIMEDefang on the old one trying to set $clamdsock = "inet:clamdhost:port" or similar. After sending the email I read on what I could find on the toppic. Yes, the problem is that MIMEDefang passes the path to be scanned to the clamd socket, so the file needs to be local on the machine running clamd. Of course it would not bee too dificult to add: ClamAV::Client to mimedefang-filter and then use the scan_stream method which, as I understand, would use the INSTREAM command to pass the content to be scanned to clamd. I'm not sure yet, if INSTREAM takes care of unpacking zip payloads and similar. I have not tested and probably will not have the time to do so. I guess I'll have to put a higher priority on moving the remaining customers from our 'old' infrastructure to the new one. -Benoît Panizzon- -- I m p r o W a r e A G - Leiter Commerce Kunden ______________________________________________________ Zurlindenstrasse 29 Tel +41 61 826 93 00 CH-4133 Pratteln Fax +41 61 826 93 01 Schweiz Web http://www.imp.ch ______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
