CPanel MailScanner Plugin with ClamAV

[trparky]

I have a CRON setup in "/etc/cron.hourly" that runs the command "/usr/bin/freshclam", but it still seems that it isn't catching the newer worms. Do I have to restart the ClamD before the update to the definitions take effect? If so, would "/scripts/restartsrv clamd" work?

Also, is there a way for any email with viruses to be dumped to a folder called "viruses" like what SpamAssassin does with spam that it finds and puts them into a folder called "spam"? What does it do with email messages that it finds with viruses in them?

Why I am asking is that I still get that newest worm and it is crazy how many I get!

Also, it seems like it is letting viruses through even though the exim.conf file has been setup properly.

Here is the line in the exim.conf file...
av_scanner = clamd:/var/clamd

But, here is something wierd. When I looked in /var to find the binary that the exim.conf file seems to be setup to use, it shows this...
[email protected] [/var]# ls -hal | grep clam
srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jun 15 09:51 clamd=

That is a 0 byte file!

Ok, now I know why that file is a 0 byte file, it is a socket, not a file, well it looks like a file, smells like a file, but it isn't a file in this case.

cPanel doesn't have a MailScanner plugin, or are you referring to the clamavconnector?

 

[trparky]

Yeah, that is what I am referring to, the ClamAVConnector. Oh, where does mail that has a virus go? /dev/null?
