I've unintalled amavis-exim and installed amavis-ng (my Exim is version
3.36). I've made the changes that seem appropriate, but it still isn't
catching the Eicar test line in an email (yet putting that same line in
a file and scanning it with clamscan does catch it).
Here's how I've configured things:
In /etc/amavis/amavis-conf:
1. I uncommented 'mail-transfer-agent = Exim'
2. I uncommented 'virus-scanner = CLAM'
3. I changed Notify section to 'local domain = .*hawkwood', which is
the name of my LAN since I don't have a FQDN. I made similar changes to
postmaster and admin
4. I made a change 'UID=amavis' and 'GID=amavis' instead of the default
'mail'.
In /etc/exim/exim.conf:
1. I added amavis to 'trusted_users' using a colon after mail
2. I added the following to the Transports Section
amavis:
driver = pipe
command = "/usr/sbin/amavis -f <${sender_address}> -d ${pipe_addresses}"
prefix =
suffix =
check_string =
escape_string =
# for debugging change return_output to true
return_output = true
return_path_add = false
user = amavis
group = amavis
path = "/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
# current_directory = "/var/amavis"
current_directory = "/var/spool/amavis"
3. I added the following to the beginning of Directors Configuration:
amavis_director:
condition = "${if eq {$received_protocol}{scanned-ok} {0}{1}}"
driver = smartuser
transport = amavis
And that's it. All of this is directly from the README.exim that came
with Amavis in /usr/share/doc/amavis-ng and some of the uncommenting is
just common sense.
Yet I find my common sense is lacking as I can't get this baby to scan
my email. What am I overlooking? It seems straightforward or is it
that I'm just twisted? :-)
Thanks
Kevin
