what's the problem with it?

i followed http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1187 to install ClamAv 0.67, MailScanner 4.28, Exim 4.24, but unsuccessful.

after that, i keep recieving email warning from SIM, says

[05/03/04 21:25:01]: SMTP restart failed, could not find /etc/init.d/sendmail.

what's the location for sendmail then? does DA use different location?

/usr/lib/sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail
/usr/local/lib/php/Mail/sendmail.php

is it the first one?

my system is redhat 9.0
what's the path for # path to SMTP service init script ?

What OS are you using?

I'm not running the CLAMAV install in question, but if you're running DA on any version of RHL, this should fix the problem:

From the root login:

# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail /etc/rc.d/init.d/exim

Then restart your CLAMAV install.

thanks for your always help, jlasman

my problem doesn't resolved yet, i just diabled to SIM to monitor my SMTP, to stop the incoming email.

my problem is SIM can't find the SMTP service in DA.

it looks i don't have smtp, i will check it later on.
 
Thats because DA doesn't use sendmail... it uses exim..

Since DA monitors all apart from xinetd you should disable sim for everything besides xinetd....
