Thanks Evan. I completely missed that option when first installing. Late night and all ...
I have done just as you state, and ClamAV went in just fine. I did have some trouble with the milter though, when I restarted Sendmail. To mine inexperienced eyes, it looked like some kind of syntax error, something about it expecting a '=' in one of the milter lines in the sendmail.cf. Also, it (sendmail) didn't seem to know what a 'clmilter' or, when I substitued that for 'clamav', was. Sorry, don't have the exact error message to hand now. These errors were more than likely caused by something else I'd forgotten to do, or didn't realise I needed to. However, being very eager (read 'impatient') by now to get ClamAV actually scanning something, I looked through the Third Party Software list for an alternative approach, and tried ClamAssassin. It worked like a charm. So the milter option is on the back-burner so to speak for the time being. By the way, version 1.2.2 of ClamAssassin is out now : http://drivel.com/clamassassin/ Thanks again Evan for your time and information. Regards, Pete.
