Exim4 and clamav not working
Hi,
If there is a better list for this question please let me know. I am
trying to get exim4, spamassassin and clamav happily working together
with a minimum amount of additional packages added on a Debian Etch
system with all updates current. Basically I have installed exim4-heavy,
sa-exim, spamassassin and the clamav packages. I am using the
/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl socket and have that configured in both the
clam.conf and in the /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/02_exim4-config_options.
Clamav has been added to the Exim-debian group the
AllowSupplementaryGroups option is in clam.conf. The scan directory
/var/spool/exim4/scan has the following permissions drwxrwx--- and has
owner.group of Debian-exim. This is in
/etc/exim4/conf.d/acl/40_exim4-config_check_data file:
deny message = This message contains a virus: ($malware_name) please
scan your system.
demime = *
malware = *
The spamassassin part works fine and mail is coming through. The clamav
part is not. It will not identify the eicar test in mail. It will also
happily allow the clamav-testfiles to go through without seeing them.
Obviously clamav is not getting to scan any mail. I need help figuring
out why. The clamd daemon is running and the only error I can find is
when I start the clamd:
Starting ClamAV daemon: clamdLibClamAV Warning:
********************************************************
LibClamAV Warning: *** This version of the ClamAV engine is outdated.
***
LibClamAV Warning: *** DON'T PANIC! Read http://www.clamav.net/faq.html
***
LibClamAV Warning:
********************************************************
The freshclam package is also installed and will give the same error
when started, however it confirms the db is up to date. The setup is
straight from the README.Debian in the clamav-docs package. The log
files for exim, syslog, mail and clamav are providing zero clues.
Thanks,
Jim
