clamav spamassassin

[stomach]

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build set clamav yes
./build clamav

Do I need to clamav to install the correct antispam?


[root@server custombuild]# clamdscan

Do I need to clamav to install the correct antispam?

No clamav and anstispam are 2 different things.
Antispam is to fight spam.
Clamav is a virusscanner which scans mail for virusses/malware but does not fight spam.

If you want to do a virusscan manually, try like this:
clamscan -r -i /home/
and change directory from /home/ to whatever you want.

Better is to install Maldetect, which also works with clamav together.

Install Maldet Directadmin Server

Maldet Directadmin server (Malware Detect) is easy setup. There is nothing complicated in installation,but root access to your server is required.

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build set spamd spamassassin
./build spamassassin

With these commands does spamassassin already work on my server?

Yes, it will be build and activated.
You can also check because the clamd@scan service will be visible with the other services in your Directadmin admin panel.

And with this command you can see too:
ps faux | grep clam
it will show you both camd and freshclam running.

Kind of like this:

[root@server: /etc]# ps faux | grep clam
