Hi Steve,
The milter in SVN is slightly changed and it won't take those command
line options any more.
At the moment the manpage hasn't been updated yet. But the example
clamav-milter.conf is well commented.

See http://lurker.clamav.net/message/20081205.152347.a7d7c9ee.en.html
for more details.

Cheers,

2008-12-30 Thread Steve Holdoway
Thanks for the suggestions. I've written a /usr/local/etc/clamav-milter.conf, 
which seems to be parsed ok, and am now starting clamav-milter with no 
parameters. I get the error

ERROR: Failed to initiate streaming/fdpassing

and the sender is being sent a tempfail. Where should I be looking to fix this? 
Do I need to be running clamd as well, and should this be using a separate 
socket to that used for sendmail??

Cheers,

Steve

 I use clamav with sendmail via clamav-milter, configured
 
 ./configure --enable-milter --disable-clamuko

 when I try to start in this manner, it errors out: firstly on the --local

 I can't find any docs describing the changes needed to get the svn version to

 improve reliability.
 
 0.94.1 was fine!

I'm pretty sure that a dev said the new version of the milter (the SVN 
one) requires clamd to be running. The reason for this was that the 
having the old milter had a lot of duplicate code from clamd and was 
outdated.

and should this be using a separate socket to that used for sendmail??
  
Um, if I understand you correctly, yes. clamav-milter wants to talk to 
clamd using a socket of some type. If clamd is running locally, then 
it'll be a named socket rather than a TCP socket. This socket would be 
different than the milter socket that sendmail uses to talk to the 
clamav-milter.

Cheers,

Steve
