I can see, assp is working like configured.

- noscan is observed by the SMTP worker - in case, the mail was delivered 
without any virus scan/detection

but :
>..... info: scanning stored file 
/opt/assp/notspam/Coverage_for_Perpetual_Paradox--219085.eml for virus ( 
forced by ClamAVLogScan and/or FileLogScan )

both ClamAVLogScan and FileLogScan are set to 'scan resend folder and 
collected files'
this forces an unconditional recommended virus (post) scan for the stored 
.eml file, if the mail was not scanned by the SMTP worker before - this 
makes sure, that the corpus is virus-clean!
 
Question: does it make sense to NOT scan ALL mails? -> Here because '
unofficial sigs have recognized something spammy'

Suggestion:  it is much more better to scan all mails but to ignore 
specific scan results (e.g. SuspiciousVirus using low weights) or to not 
use the signatures that detects spammy content (e.g. remove the signatures 
from the .hdb or .yara file after download)

example for SuspiciousVirus:

SecuriteInfo\.com\.Spam\.\d+=>0

bash example to remove lines from a signature file (check the sed syntax 
for your sed version first!)

sed -i.bak '/SecuriteInfo\.com\.Spam\.\d+/d' ./securiteinfo.hdb

- make a backup file ./securiteinfo.hdb.bak from ./securiteinfo.hdb
- inplace remove all those lines from ./securiteinfo.hdb

the same can be done using perl or awk ....

Betreff:        [Assp-user] noScan setting not working?







Hi guys, 
I'm running on ASSP 2.8.2 (26204). I have spiced up my ClamAV with 
unofficial sigs from Securiteinfo. This sometimes triggers a virus alert, 
which rather means the unofficial sigs have recognized something spammy. I 
saw this with newsletters coming in and decided to except these from virus 
scanning.
