Trying to setup mailscanner and mailwatch in a correct configuration.
Would like to see reports for both spam and virus alerts.
Previously I was only able to setup av using it as a sendmail+milter .
Also previously used Vexira. Trying to do this now with AntiVir
since its in the FreeBSD ports tree. Its basically the same product.
I can configure mailscanner with this option in the config file -
Virus Scanners = antivir
Can start mailscanner with no errors shown in /var/log/maillog
Modified f-prot line in fuctions.php to antivir so mailwatch wouldn't complain.
I have hundreds of infected files from the vexira install at work.
Scp these to the
mailscanner/mailwatch system I'm trying to setup. Mailscanner never
picks up infected files.
I can run antivir from the command line and it works fine.
/tmp/tmp/df-63198-5B08CC27

ALERT: [Worm/Netsky.D.Dam worm] /tmp/tmp/df-63198-5B08CC27 -->
my_details.pif <<< Contains signature of the worm Worm/Netsky.D.Dam
Here is the configuration virus.scanners.conf -
antivir /usr/local/libexec/MailScanner/antivir-wrapper
/usr/local/AntiVir
I can run the wrapper script from the command line -
/usr/local/libexec/MailScanner/antivir-wrapper /usr/local/AntiVir /tmp/tmp/*
It does pick some up, but no where near when I run it something like this -
/usr/local/AntiVir/antivir /tmp/tmp/*
or
/usr/local/AntiVir/antivir --scan-in-mbox /tmp/tmp/*
Here is the directory that antivir is in -
/usr/local/AntiVir/antivir
These are the default install directories on FreeBSD.
Help, what am I missing ?
