====== Setup clamav with Postfix on Debian Lenny in a chroot ====== Quick and dirty instructions on setting up Postfix to scan messages using clamav on Debian Lenny. Install clamav and clamav-milter: apt-get install clamav apt-get install clamav-daemon apt-get install clamav-milter Edit /etc/default/clamav-milter and uncomment the following lines USE_POSTFIX='yes' SOCKET=local:/var/spool/postfix/clamav/clamav-milter.ctl If you don't want the postmaster and sender to be emailed each time a virus is detected then add the letter q to the OPTIONS line at the beginning of the file as such: OPTIONS="--max-children=2 -olq" Create somewhere within the Postfix chroot for the clamav-milter socket to sit. The default location cannot be seen by Postfix when it is in a chroot jail. mkdir -p /var/spool/postfix/clamav/ chown clamav:postfix /var/spool/postfix/clamav/ chmod g+s /var/spool/postfix/clamav/ Restart the milter: /etc/init.d/clamav-milter restart Add the following lines to /etc/postfix/main.cf to enable the milter (assumes you want to accept emails on milter failure): milter_connect_macros = i b j _ {daemon_name} {if_name} {if_addr} smtpd_milters = unix:/clamav/clamav-milter.ctl milter_default_action = accept Restart Postfix: /etc/init.d/postfix restart
