Hi there, I'm new to Linux. I've set up sarge and updated it to the latest stable distrib. I'm using fetchmail, procmail, Exim4, amavis, SA-exim and Evolution. Evolution picks up mail from \var\mail\<username>, but I seem unable to set up anti-virus scanning, either with f-prot or with clamav. I've followed various instructions for configuring clamav, procmail, amavis, exim4 but eicar arrives undetected just the same.
If I do "ps x" it doesn't show clamavd running - should it? If so how do I start the daemon? There is nothing in the amavis log to show passage of or scanning of mail, yet it does arrive - could it somehow be bypassing exim?. What an I doing wrong? Or better still, is there a simple account anywhere of how all these bits should fit together? I get the impression that there are lots of different ways of getting virus and spam scanning done, and I am thoroughly confused. (I have removed spamassasin because spam is not a real problem to me, and it just seemed to spawn daemons in fives). As I eventually wish to use Linux on a mail server for a network of W*** machines it is viruses that are the real threat.
