Unpacking on Linux archives which are RAR version 3

[Martin Hepworth]

Quentin

clamav (either command line or module) needs the external unpacker.

install the unrar command then edit MailScanner.conf around this section..


# Where the "unrar" command is installed.
# If you haven't got this command, look at www.rarlab.com.
#
# This is used for unpacking rar archives so that the contents can be
# checked for banned filenames and filetypes, and also that the
# archive can be tested to see if it is password-protected.
# Virus scanning the contents of rar archives is still left to the virus
# scanner, with one exception:
# If using the clavavmodule virus scanner, this adds external RAR checking
# to that scanner which is needed for archives which are RAR version 3.
Unrar Command = /usr/local/bin/unrar
