I have just released the latest beta, 4.61.3.
I would particularly like clamd users and Postfix users to test this
release, please.
Download as usual from www.mailscanner.info.
New additions in this beta versus the previous beta are:
3 'MailScanner --lint' now finds clamd virus scanner.
3 Made clamd subsys lock file blank by default, so it works on non-Linux
systems.
3 Added another example to the Allowed Sophos Error Messages setting for
password-protected files.
3 Fixed "identified/found" bug in AVG parser.
3 Fixed bugs in Panda and AVG parsers courtesy of Rick Cooper.
3 Fixed bug in Postfix handler which caused a problem with empty messages.
The entire Change Log for this version is currently:
* New Features and Improvements *
1 Direct support for the "clamd" virus scanner -- now talks directly to the
clamd daemon without any overhead of calling clamd-wrapper or clamdscan.
As a result, this should be faster than the previous clamd support.
It also has a much smaller memory footprint than the "clamavmodule"
scanner.
This is all thanks to Rick Cooper who wrote the original code.
New configuration options are
- Clamd Port = 3310
- Clamd Socket = /tmp/clamd
- Clamd Lock File = /var/lock/subsys/clamd
- Clamd Use Threads = no
The use of these settings is explained in the MailScanner.conf file.
2 Changed session handling in direct clamd virus scanner support.
3 'MailScanner --lint' now finds clamd virus scanner.
3 Made clamd subsys lock file blank by default, so it works on non-Linux
systems.
3 Added another example to the Allowed Sophos Error Messages setting for
password-protected files.
* Fixes *
2 Fixed bug in auto-zip feature with a message containing 2 attachments with
the same filename.
2 Fixed bug in auto-zip feature that would allow zipping of an attachment
which had been cleaned out of the message.
3 Fixed "identified/found" bug in AVG parser.
3 Fixed bugs in Panda and AVG parsers courtesy of Rick Cooper.
3 Fixed bug in Postfix handler which caused a problem with empty messages.
