Yes, this should suffice, assuming clamscan program is in the $path. > amavisd-new doesn´t find clamav as secondary scanner. What is your setting for $path? It is often something like: $path = '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin'; but the default is empty, so you either need do specify an exact program location in the second parameter of an AV entry, or adjust $path so that the program can be found in one of the listed directories. Also make sure the clamscan program is accessible to a user running amavisd (e.g. vscan). > i tried to use the entry in primary scanners section and copied it to the > backup-av section: > ... > ### http://www.clamav.net/ > ['ClamAV-clamd', > \&ask_daemon, ["CONTSCAN {}\n", "/var/spool/amavisd/clamd.sock"], > qr/\bOK$/, qr/\bFOUND$/, > qr/^.*?: (?!Infected Archive)(.*) FOUND$/ ], > ... > > when i shut down clamav then amavisd-new doesn´t work anymore. It doesn't help to have clamd entry in both sections, if the clamd daemon is down. > i have nod32 as primary av-scanner working and want clamav to be used > as secondary scanner. if clamav isn´t started then amavisd-new should > continue its work. Yes, as long as at least one of: nod32 or clamd primaries or clamscan secondary are up, mail should continue to flow. > how can i configure amavisd-new to use clamav as backup scanner? You seem to already has it configured. Make sure amavisd does find these programs at startup. Check the log.
