[Clamav-users] How Do You Integrate ClamAV?
I was curious of what most of everyone on the list uses to integrate ClamAV into their MTA (specifically Postfix)? I was under the impression that I had to use Amavisd-new which allows me to integrate 'SpamAssassin' ' ClamAV'. Do you guys have any recommendations for a simple method of integrating virus scanning into Postfix? Thanks for any info! -Carlos ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml

Thanks for any info! -Carlos The clamav-milter works fine with postfix version 2.5 and newer (for best results, use the most recent patch level of postfix). If all you need is virus scanning, the milter works well and is easy to set up. If you want more features, such as SpamAssassin integration, DKIM signing/verifying, etc., amavisd-new is robust, flexible and well supported. -- Noel Jones ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml

Postfix + amavisd (which calls ClamvAV and uses SpamAssassin, as you note) is a fine combination; I use it or add policyd-weight and postgrey almost everywhere. You didn't mention which platform you are running your MTA on; if it matters, Postfix + amavisd is the default combination used by MacOS X. [1] Recent versions of Postfix support the milter interface originated from Sendmail, so you could use clamav-milter instead. However, milter support is much less mature than using amavisd. Regards, -- -Chuck [1]: Footnoted this point because, at one time, I expected to have to administer Sendmail for as long as I managed mailservers. It would be pleasant to be mistaken here. :-) Not to bash Sendmail-- but I've paid my dues, very literally, by purchasing and reading the 1200+ page Bat book cover-to-cover multiple times, and otherwise sang the Sendmail blues... ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml

I was curious of what most of everyone on the list uses to integrate ClamAV into their MTA (specifically Postfix)? I use courier-mta and I wrote a simple but fast mail clamdscan frontend in C called Scandalo. May be you want to give it a try: http://freshmeat.net/projects/scandalo Do you guys have any recommendations for a simple method of integrating virus scanning into Postfix? Scandalo will get mail in stdin and put the mail back in stdout with 2 headers added to the mail. For ex, if a virus was found: X-Virus-Ret: 1 X-Virus-stream: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND You can parse the header and put the mail for example into a .Virus folder. I use it with courier maildrop. Please let me know if it's what you expect. Ciao, Dino Ciuffetti. ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
