Title: Clamav and Amavis setup
Post by: robert on March 07, 2003, 02:35:50 PM

Hi,

This is a simple question, I have installed clamav antivirus using the howto at pagefault.org and it installed fine. My problem is am not sure if the antivirus is working. Do I have to start it, after installation and if yes how, and can somebody please tell me how to make it start automatically when i reboot the system.

Linux newbie so bear with me.

Thanks

In my case the antivirus starts automatically - just try sending the Eicar.com virus to yourself (www.eicar.com) for the test.

Also, your mail headers should now include an additional header... something about "X-Scanned-By: Amavis" if I remember correctly.

You could also check the amavis log files.  I believe these would be in /var/log/amavis/amavis.log

Be sure to run freshclam once in awhile to update your signatures.
