[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#939850: clamav-daemon: timeout on /run/clamav/clamd.ctl, too slow to reload daily.ldb rules

[Baptiste BEAUPLAT]

Hello,

For anyone looking for a workaround with Exim, I have been using the
`tmo` option of the `malware` action. This allow to customize the
timeout for the AV scanner.

diff --git a/exim4/check_data_local_acl b/exim4/check_data_local_acl
index 538f3a9..4013b35 100644
--- a/exim4/check_data_local_acl
+++ b/exim4/check_data_local_acl
@@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ deny

 # Antivirus scan
 deny
-    malware = *
+    malware = * / tmo=5m
     message = This message was detected as possible malware
($malware_name).

This option is documented here:
https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-content_scanning_at_acl_time.html
