[Pkg-exim4-users] Simple ClamAV Setup (Howto)

[Joseph]

Here are the steps I took to get the ClamAV working on my Debian/testing
box for whatever it is worth to the user list.

Install the ClamAV stuff:

apt-get update
apt-get install clamav clamav-base clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam
     libclamav1

I am not using the split exim configuration file:
So I made a new file...

vi /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros

and add the following lines to it:

CHECK_DATA_LOCAL_ACL_FILE=/etc/exim4/acl_clamav.conf
local_scan_path=/usr/lib/exim4/local_scan/sa-exim.so
av_scanner = clamd:/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl

Now the file line tells the system to include acl_clamav.conf
so you need to create it...

vi /etc/exim4/acl_clamav.conf

and add the following lines to it:

#Clam av hooks
deny  message = This message contains a virus: ($malware_name) please
scan your system.
        demime = *
        malware = *

Restart you exim4.

/etc/init.d/exim4 restart


Anytime you install something with Debian, you want to check out the
/usr/share/doc/<application_name>/README.Debian
So, for example with the ClamAV stuff you want to do this to see the
information included:

zless /usr/share/doc/clamav-freshclam/README.Debian.gz

Note: this assumes you have less installed. If not, you can get it with:
 apt-get install less

Thanks.
