A clamav-milter setup consists of the following three components:
* the clamav-milter itself
--> this is provided by the 'clamav-milter' package plus (alternatively)
'clamav-milter-upstart' or 'clamav-milter-sysvinit'
The main configuration is in /etc/mail/clamav-milter.conf and MUST
be changed before first use.
The -sysvinit package is managed by the traditional tools, but
-upstart requires modification of /etc/event.d/clamav-milter to
enable automatic startup. See comments there for more details.
* a clamav scanner daemon
--> this package is called 'clamav-scanner' plus (alternatively)
'clamav-scanner-upstart' or 'clamav-scanner-sysvinit'
The daemon is configured by /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf (which MUST be
edited before first use).
The -sysvinit package is managed by the traditional tools, but
-upstart requires modification of /etc/event.d/clamd.scan to enable
automatic startup. See comments there for more details.
* the MTA (sendmail/postfix)
--> you should know how to install this...
When communicating across unix sockets with the clamav-milter, it is
suggested to use the /var/run/clamav-milter/clamav-milter.socket
path. You have to add something like
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clamav', `S=local:/var/run/clamav-milter/clamav-milter.socket, F=, T=S:4m;R:4m')dnl
to your sendmail.mc.
It is suggested that components communicate through TCP sockets as
this eases setup. Please add corresponding packet filter rules!
EXAMPLE
=======
For clamav-milter, a possible setup might be created by
A) On the MTA (assumed hostname 'host-mta')
1. Add to sendmail.mc
| INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clamav', `S=inet:6666@host-milter, F=, T=S:4m;R:4m')dnl
2. Rebuild sendmail.cf
B) On the clamav-milter host (assumed hostname 'host-milter')
1. Install clamav-milter + clamav-milter-upstart packages
2. Set in /etc/mail/clamav-milter.conf
| MilterSocket inet:6666
| ClamdSocket tcp:host-scanner:6665
and all the other options which are required on your system
3. Edit /etc/event.d/clamav-milter and uncomment the
| start on starting local
line. Restart your system or execute
| initctl emit starting local
4. Add something like
| iptables -N IN-cmilt
| iptables -A IN-cmilt -s host-mta -j ACCEPT
| iptables -A IN-cmilt -j DROP
| iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6666 -j IN-cmilt
to your firewall setup
C) On the clamav-scanner host (assumed hostname 'host-scanner')
1. Install clamav-scanner + clamav-scanner-upstart packages
2. Add to /etc/clamd.d/scan.conf
| TCPSocket 6665
| TCPAddr host-scanner
comment out possible 'LocalSocket' lines and set all the other
options which are required on your system
3. Edit /etc/event.d/clamav-scanner and uncomment the
| start on starting local
line. Restart your system or execute
| initctl emit starting local
4. Add something like
| iptables -N IN-cscan
| iptables -A IN-cscan -s host-milter -j ACCEPT
| iptables -A IN-cscan -j DROP
| iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6665 -j IN-csan
to your firewall setup
