HowTo: MailScanner 4.24 for Exim 4.24

Does mailscanner block the messages at the ACL level or does it still pass them to spamassassin as an external program. If it handles them at the ACL level is there a way to still have the users change their settings through the spamassassin interface?

If you are using DSBLs directly in the MailScanner.conf mail will be marked as spam and all other tests ignored.
MailScanner does not invoke spamassassin directly, so changes to user settings will have no effect.

Mailscanner, as installed in the threads on these forums, does NOT work at the ACL level.

I get this error:

[root@ccc3 scripts]# rpm -Uvh clamav-0.81-4.i386.rpm
warning: clamav-0.81-4.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6cdf2cc1
error: Failed dependencies:
zlib >= 1.2.1.2 is needed by clamav-0.81-4

when u do a update or install from zlib I get this:

(# yum install zlib)
zlib is installed and is the latest version.
No actions to take

whats rong? I am ussing CentOs 3.3
 
It sounds like the version of clam you are trying to install was built against a different version of the library
Two options:
1 - Install the rpm ignoring dependencies

OR

2 - Install clam from source
 
ok I have download clamav-0.72.tar.gz to my download dir.
then I unpack this in the download dir.

but how do I install it?
 
ok little quastion where put I the follow code?

and add the following lines in the main part of the configuration:

spool_directory = /var/spool/exim.in
queue_only = true
queue_only_override = false
log_file_path = /var/spool/exim/msglog/%slog

where in /etc/exim.conf do I paste it?

Not sure what that is, but if you put it into debug mode you should get more verbose errors which would help.

If you need help with this pop into #mailscanner on irc.freenode.net - there's usually a few of us in there

Clam is not working

Hello

I installed clamav using tar package not rpm.

and installed MailScanner according to given documentation.

exim is working properly.
But MailScanner is not able to filter virus mails.
I already updated the clamav using freshclam.

Where is going wrong ?
