Exim+antivirus

[iDave]

I tried to install the exim+virusscan package found on layer1.cpanel.net but, once installed, the mail server stopped the mail delivery. I removed the filter from /etc/exim.conf, restarted exim and the mails began to be delivered again. How can I install the virusscan package correctly, how can I make it working?

SSH to your box and:

wget http://layer1.cpanel.net/exim+virusscan.tar.gz
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 tried that, and I got:

2003-06-11 10:57:45 19Q7yr-0004Ji-00 Error in message_filter file: failed to expand "${perl{amavis_filter_scan}{$message_id}{$sender_address}{$recipients}}" in filter file: Undefined subroutine &main::amavis_filter_scan called.\n

Nick, any idea?

I had to take the lines out like the guy who posted this..

tAzMaNiAc... yeah... I'm not the only who had this problem, then!!!

The problem is that in /var/log/maillog there seems to be no problem

Yeah!.. Weird.. I think it's a missing thing, or some bad linkage..Not sure why it would work for others.

What's your OS?

It's like there's a undefined subroutine somewhere.

You and I have the same problem. I'm trying to get someone to pay attention and they aren't....

Do you have the /usr/share/amavis/amavis-filter
file ? is it referenced in exim.pl ? Have you tried the other exim+viruscan package a few pages back?

Yes -- it is there. Referenced in exim.pl? Don't you mean exim.conf?

I would thikn the other updated package has the same problems as 2 or 3 people had the same problem as us here.

Either Rh 8 or Mandrake 9..

Howard,

exim.pl has:

if (-e "/usr/share/amavis/amavis-filter" && ! -e "/etc/noamavis") {
do '/usr/share/amavis/amavis-filter';

I tried the newer one by Elikster, and same thing..

2003-06-12 13:26:52 19QV0y-00075S-00 Error in message_filter file: failed to expand "${perl{amavis_filter_scan}{$message_id}{$sender_address}{$recipients}}" in filter file: Undefined subroutine &main::amavis_filter_scan called.\n

Apparently I glued my eye to the scrolling and saw one or two things were not existent so maybe some parts were not compiled. I will look at it more tonight and see what is missing and add them.

One of them was

CPAN.pm: Going to build K/KA/KANE/Archive-Tar-1.02.tar.gz

You do not have IO::Zlib installed. This means you can not read or write compressed archive!
Note: you can disable this warning by invoking Makefile.PL with '-n'

And another was Zlib. Hmm..
