{Disarmed} MailScanner - "Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!"

[Tracy Greggs]

Most likely you are running clam via the epel repo.  They aren’t super quick about pushing the newest clam out to the repo.  I used the version from repoforge for a long time but they were dreadful about pushing clam out and are basically defunct.



It will get pushed, don’t worry about the warning messages, and consider running additional AV engines just because you can.



Best Wishes

Hello,



I recently upgrade to MailScanner v5.0.7-3. i've got it running on CentOS with ClamAV, postfix and spamassassin.



when i run the ClamAv update it reports:



WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
WARNING: Local version: 0.99.4 Recommended version: 0.100.0
DON'T PANIC! Read  <https://owa.alighieri.us/owa/redir.aspx?C=qQDERj_tvEecToJUcSonwFWaIPKPH82Txgrqk5xPV0OdIz-ex7zVCA..&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.clamav.net%2fdocuments%2fupgrading-clamav> MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "owa.alighieri.us" claiming to be http://www.clamav.net/documents/upgrading-clamav

I've tried upgrading to v 0.100 - but had to back out as the upgrade procedure listed above breaks the integrations with MailScanner.



Yum doesn't see any update for ClamAV



is there a different procedure to follow when upgrading ClamAv to the latest and the greatest when originally installed via MailSanner?



thanks in advance

Best Regards
