(slightly rudimentary, but covers how simple it is:-).

I do run on an otherwise (mostly) rpm-installed system, but prefer source since I don't want to wait for someone else to package it first (although Dag seems to be very alert... I don't use RH/FC, so that's not relevant to me though:).

Subject: Installing ClamAV for the first time


After McAfee and Sophos let us down over the Mytob.gen worm, have
decided to install ClamAV as a third A-V engine to be used by MS.

Am running Red Hat AS3 + Sendmail + MailScanner + SpamAssassin + A-V
engines.

Normally do MS install from RPM version downloaded from Julian's site.

Where is best source of info/how-to for installing Clam in the above
environment? Is it better to do a source install (and subsequent
upgrades) or find a suitable RPM from a third party?
