tar xfzv exim+virusscan.tar.gz
cd exim+virusscan
sh install

it will restart exim at end.

now you should have your mail scaned:

"X-Virus-Scanned-By: Amavis with CLAM Anti Virus on myhostname" in incoming & outgoing mail.

To upgrade virus database:

manual:

cd /usr/bin
./freshclam

auto:

cd /usr/bin
touch /var/log/clam-update.log
chmod 644 /var/log/clam-update.log
chown clamav /var/log/clam-update.log
freshclam -d -c 2 -l /var/log/clam-update.log

To uninstall:

edit /etc/exim.conf

delete these lines:
message_filter = /etc/antivirus.clam.exim
message_filter_user = mail
message_filter_group = mail

I have doe all this and it seemed to work fine, exim restarted ok, I watched it download the antivrus definition files, I have set it to auto update, so

How do I know it is definately working??? I thought it displayed a message on each e-mail to say it had been scanned?? maybe not or its maybe not working

Can anyone provide a definitive test?

Also, now that this is installed my understanding is that my box is protected form viruses (as much as possible) and all e-mails are scanned.

If this is the case why the big fuss over the likes of mailscanner and other virus programs?? is this package not considered very good?

Questions Questions Questions!!!!!
