ClamAV & scanning
« on: June 17, 2015, 05:31:46 PM »
Hi,

I have a whole bunch of viruses that go through email and are being caught by the end-user workstation (McAfee).

Is ClamAV scanning the email as they are being received? I also have ClamAV scanning overnight and I have the logs for that (clamd/clamscan.log). The night jobs catch the "night' viruses.

I don't see any clamav setting for scanning incoming emails and where are they stored or deleted?

The night job sends them to /var/spool/clamav/quarantine/ but there is none added during the day, when the end-users are collecting their emails

Thanks

Syv

Disable 'quarantine' viruses and install the new contrib smeserver-clamav-unofficial-sigs from the FWS repo

Antivirus settings

General Settings
If this option is enabled then the filesystem will be scanned for viruses. A report of any found viruses will be emailed to the administrator.

Code: [Select]
Scan filesystem DAILY
Quarantine infected files ENABLED
ClamAV and db versions 0.98.7/20576/Wed Jun 17 05:33:21 2015

Is this what you mean?

Thanks

Syv

I have already installed the unofficial sigs, but

What does "Disable 'quarantine' viruses" do? leave them in the end-user mailbox? Delete them on the fly?

Thanks

Yes, that was the 1st thing I did and I have read that and I do not see the quarantine, only:

Signatures
Heuristic Scan
Attachment Filtering

Thanks

Thank you: It was enabled. I will have to monitor the situation more closely.
