    Hello guys. After one year of functions, I want to evaluate if ClamAV have found any threats in our servers/mails. Is there any logs being saved? Are quarantined files saved to any folder? Do you have any docs on this?

    Thanks!

    Did you schedule ClamAV to work on specific times, perform scans manually or do you use CallUploadScript?

    In all situations you can use the command like this:
    Code:
    clamdscan --quiet --log=/var/log/threats.log
    Check those also:
    Code:
    clamdscan --help
clamscan --help

    Hello :)

    Keep in mind that ClamAV only scans your email by default. You can see recent activity with a command such as:

    Code:
    zgrep -Hn "This message contains a virus or other harmful content" /var/log/exim_rejectlog*
    It won't scan your system files automatically, unless you setup a cron job to do so.

    Thank you.

    Thank you guys!

    In regards of activating scheduled scans via cronjobs, can you point me to some docs about it?
