[Pkg-clamav-devel] clamav-milter problems

[Ken Rea]

Steve,

Just tried to update clamav-milter and the other clamav programs to the
new version you put out. We are running "Etch" here and the new version
0.95.1+dfsg-0volatile2.

Anyway I cannot find out what command lines are valid for the
clamav-milter program. The defaults that I had in the
/etc/default/clamav-milter
OPTIONS="--max-children=10 -oldq --timeout=300 --no-check-cf" made it puke.

Other problems, when I removed the options in the default file and started
the /etc/init.d/clamav-milter start I got:
Starting Sendmail milter plugin for ClamAV:
clamav-milter/usr/sbin/clamav-milter: unrecognized option `--pidfile'
ERROR: Unknown option passed
ERROR: Can't parse command line options
 failed!

I took out all the --pidfile in the start up script and I did manage to
get the program started but sendmail complained about the milter socket.
So I edited the /etc/mail/m4/clamav-milter.m4 file to show the proper
socket.

Now when a mail is send out from this server, the syslog used to show:

Apr 28 06:31:36 smtp sm-mta[958]: n3SDVXtr000958: Milter add: header:
X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV 0.94.2/9298/Tue Apr 28 04:47:45
2009 on smtp.gssf.org
Apr 28 06:31:36 smtp sm-mta[958]: n3SDVXtr000958: Milter add: header:
X-Virus-Status: Clean

Now it just shows:

Apr 29 04:15:01 smtp clamd[31852]: fd[11]: OK

And I see nothing about a virus scan when the message shows up on the
other side in the message headers. Look at the headers of this message and
see if there is a header showing the virus scan.

Anyway that is what I have. I'm going to hold off on updating my other
mail servers till I get this figured out.

Thanks for all your help,

Ken Rea
