Nigel,

Sorry about that. The problem is that clamav-milter isn't scanning incoming mail. I want to configure it to scan mail that is passed to sendmail from fetchmail (running on the same host) to deliver to local mailboxes, but not scan outgoing mail.

I agree, the documentation implies that leaving off the -o -f and -l switches should achieve this, but for some reason it's just not scanning anything [see the bottom of the mail log below].

I confirm that clamav-milter does indeed scan mail if the -o or -l switch is used. How does clamav-milter determine what is incoming, what is outgoing and what is lan mail (and pardon my ignorance)? Is it my sendmail configuration, perhaps?

Cheers,
Damon

I can't remember the original problem, you've removed the history from this
post that would have reminded me!
