What options are you currently giving? What do you mean by "discarding"?
Do you mean stop quarantining, stop forwarding to someone?

Hi.

ClamAV is not an antispam solution but an antivirus.
If I can give you an advice, you should do the both : filter spam then
afilter virus for inconmig (and outgoing as well) mail traffic.

If you just want to filter virus with clamav-milter and sendmail, this
page :
http://www.clamav.net/doc/0.83/html/node19.html
is all you need to read ! :-)

[Clamav-users] clamav installation with milter support.

2005-03-17 Thread Nabin Limbu
Hi,

I am trying to use clamav with sendmail in FC-3. I heard that sendmail in FC-3 
is 
precompiled with milter. Using the command: sendmail -d0.1 bv root also 
confirms that 
sendmail is complied with milter support. 

Also, while installing clamav-0.83.tar.gz with the following option:

./configure --disable-clamuko --enable-milter

I got an error saying cannot find libmilter.

While searching,  I am not getting library file libmilter anywhere in the 
system.

Don't I require, the option "--enable-milter" to use clamav for milter support?

And will the installation of clamav---tar.gz without "--enable-milter" will be 
equivalent as 
installing rpms of both the below ones ?
clamav---.rpm
clamav-milter---rpm

Hoping for your support.

Regards
Nabin Limbu

This is all covered in .../clamav-milter/INSTALL.
You have not installed sendmail-devel.rpm as instructed
in that document.

I think he means SMFIS_DISCARD, as defined in the Milter protocol.
Simply put: accepting the message (250 2.0.0), but silently

[Clamav-users] Attachment not identified as attachment/bad jpeg

2005-03-17 Thread clam
Hello,

this is my first post here so be gentle...

Clamscan does not find some attachments in some types of mail.
Most attachments are, but not all. This have me somewhat concerned,
since the receiving email client will not be as ignorant :(

Seems like it is related to how a buggy(?), attached jpeg picture is
scanned. Complete debug óutput is attached, a brief version regarding the
interesting part is below. After the bad jpeg has been scanned, the next
attachment is not scanned nor identified at all. Problem is that this is
the virus/trojan...

I can not find any references to this when searching the mailinglist
archives...

In short: 1) virus attachment IS NOT identified when the jpeg attachment
 is present
  2) virus attachment IS identified if same mail w/o jpeg is
 scanned

The actual JPEG is available if anyone want to take a closer look.

Thanks in advance,
//Daniel

Clamav-milter is a "milter" interface for sendmail. Although not the only
way to interface clam with a host running sendmail, it is probably the
most common. Read the documentation for a further description.

Probably 90% of what you need is already in clamdwatch so with it as a
starting point and with a little modification to a copy of it you should
be able to build a demo script then refine it as needed to do what you
need. It already handles the socket stuff and also uses itself as a file
to test so that example is also there to exploit.

As much as I don't like Perl I do use that script and my own variants for
quite a few things.

2005-03-17 Thread Administrator
hi,
Version of Clamav 0.83/764 with HP-UX 11.11.

when i try to scan a sendmail spool directory /var/spool/mqueue that
contains mail infected by EICAR test virus and others virus Clamscan does
not find any attachments and viruses.
Virus attachments is identified with another virus-scanner like eTrust
Antivirus.

J-chkmail and probably spamassassin will do this. On a busy system you can
fill a drive quickly with quarantined messages. I've never found any of
them to have any value and so delete them immediately.

This is rather simple with spamassassin err I should say spamassassin w/

simply add:

The milter is the component that communicates with both the smtp server
and the clamav scanner. To handle mail scanning in real time this
component has to exist in some form. Milters are closely associated with
SendMail and the libmilter library they provide.

There are several products that can run in place of the clamav-milter
code, so you have choices. Some of those choices include spam content and
spammer behavior filters in addition to invoking ClamAv. It is frequently
most efficient to test for spam content prior to scanning for viruses -
there is no point in virus scanning a file if it has failed a spam content
test. That's more than you asked but not bad to know.

The reverse is also true.  There is no point in spam scanning a file if it has 
been identified as a virus.

Of the two processes (spam scanning and virus scanning), spam scanning is more 
resource-intensive (at least the way I do it) - so I virus scan first, and 
spam-scan second.

I second that.   When I changed my system to av scan before spam, my

Since files in /var/spool/mqueue commonly consist of two separate
parts, a 'q' and a 'd' file, one holding the headers (with extra info),
the other the data, it does not surprise me that you cannot find
viruses in them. I mean, in that shape they are not exactly
in mbox mail format (or concatenated header + body format).

You should scan in /var/mail/ or something. But better, of course,
to scan prior to delivery (scanning in /var/mail/ could create a
race condition, where a pop client reads from the mbox file before
you could scan it).

Interesting - that is exactly the opposite of my experiences so I'm
interested in knowing more about your content scanning tool. I don't use
Perl for this (or anything else) so I'm wondering if that may be a factor.
But yes, no point in double-damning a message when once will do, and I
guess that was my point, and clearly the most efficient method should be
first.

 It's clear to me, Dale, and it's wrong. I wouldn't do it either. I
 get
 my
 system libs from Sun, for example, because they are guaranteed to
 work
 with my OS. Anything else goes into /usr/local where my compiled
 sources
 are told to look for it. Generalizations are usually a bad idea -
 including mine. It is best to leave it to each admin to manage the
 configuration of their OS's.

 In this instance the OP can put the path to his libs in his clamav
 configure. If that doesn't work (as revealed by ldd, for example)
 then
 he
 can hack the Makefile.

Not at all. You can install libraries in non-standard locations all you
like. That is yet another reason why it is not necessary to over-write
your system libs with rpm's from God knows where, or compiled code that
may or may not have the proper switches set (32 vs 64 bit, for example) as
the OS vendor expects. The best advice for the OP is to learn more about
his development environment and in particular, his linker. Done right
there is absolutely no reason why his original configure setting wouldn't
work provided he understands that it is a strick environment.

[Clamav-users] ClamAV-milter sending delays

2005-03-17 Thread Dan Bongert
So, I've been using ClamAV quite successfully since the days of .66, 
and I've got a new problem. A user of mine is sending out a large (but 
not humongous - ~500kb) that is filled with lots of equations and other 
complicated stuff from Outlook (though 
there are problems with other mailers too).

What's happening is this: user sends email, and while the connection is 
still open, sendmail passes the message via milter to Clam, which scans 
it for viruses. A minute and a half later, Clam has decided that the 
email is virus-free,  sendmail sends a "250 Message accepted for 
delivery", and the message is sent.

However, the problem comes in because Outlook (and Squirrelmail, our 
web-based email) has timed out the SMTP connection in that minute and a 
half. This is particularly annoying with Outlook because Outlook will 
attempt to resend the already-sent email over and over.

Does this sound like my sendmail/milter setup is broken? Or is this the 
way things are supposed to work? I'm planning a transition to Postfix 
for this summer (since I'm not a Sendmail expert by any means), but if 
there's a change I can make now, that'd be even better.

Thanks!

Possibly.  Using spamassassin in daemon mode with spamass-milter.

When a milter is configured to reject at the SMTP level, it never gets
to the second milter in the chain.  So if clamav-milter detects a virus,
the CPU intensive content scanning process never sees the message (hence
much lower load).

The amount of time that clamav spends chomping on an email is typically
less than 1 second.  The amount of time that spamassassin spends
chomping on an email is typically about 2 seconds.  So ~33% time (or
less) for clamav and ~66% time (or more) for spamassassin.  This
information gleaned from averages in my maillogs.

Your site policies and your data patterns also come into play.  If you get 
lotsa spam and hardly any viruses it may make sense to spam-scan first anyway.  
We reject viruses but accept spam (tagged so users can have a "junk email" 
folder) so - for us - data patterns don't enter into it.

For the record, we use MIMEDefang + SpamAssassin to spam-scan.  Each MIMEDefang 
thread has its own SpamAssassin object which is quite big.  I've been toying 
with the idea of writing a SpamAssassin::Client module to emulate spamc, but 
haven't done anything serious with it.  I know someone else got a working 
prototype together.

What sort of hardware have you got and what sort of load is it under?

On my largely idle 1 GHz box with 512 MB of RAM I see a ~550 KB PDF
file scanned (through MIMEDefang) by both ClamAV and F-Prot in about 2
seconds.  I haven't seen anything take longer than 10 seconds, even
with SpamAssassin.

Yes, we're writing a quarantine program and will require spamassassin to
allow the emails through as well.  Good to see that this is a standard
way of doing things.

In the case of my systems I have but one milter that handles both spam and
AV, and it's optimized to least-load priorities. It's also worth observing
that as a consequence I have but one milter entry in sendmail.cf and one
set of timeouts to fuss over, and I only mention it for any interested
parties who are pondering over such things.

A bit of background is helpful - in my environment we deal with huge image
files as that is what we sell and receive, so we possibly are more
large-attachment oriented than some businesses. I test both incoming and
outgoing messages and attachments because I believe it is the most
internet friendly policy, and that also runs up our server loads. I avoid
some of that by scanning the content first. So as always, ymmv, batteries

Don't worry about the invalid signature in my last post. It's
probably a bug in Mailman which breaks signatures in PGP/MIME emails
with attachments.

Great! I've been "using" meta-data signatures, via procmail, probably since
"sircam" came out in 2001, and it works very good. I'm still catching
mydoom variants using a procmail recipe I wrote in 2003 (much to my
surprise, I might add). (See http://www.xs4all.nl/~johnpc/procmailrc.txt
if you're interested).

But it's also bad, since if a high-profile virus scanner like ClamAV is
going to start matching meta-data, then virus writers are more likely to
notice and start changing it with each virus release, making my procmail
hackery less effective ;)

[Clamav-users] CPU dogging in 0.83 and current CVS

2005-03-17 Thread email builder
Hi,

  I recently upgraded from 0.80 to 0.83.  I have seen a dramatic increase in
CPU usage.  Running inside of amavisd-new, my five amavis servers hog the CPU
with around 20% each and up to 50% or more for one server process when the
others are idling.  Word had it that there was a "Digest bug" in 0.83 on the
amavis list, and that current CVS had a fix.  I just tried installing the
newest snapshot, and there was no change, so I rolled back to 0.80 and things
are back to normal.

  I looked over the clamav list archives for the last two months, but must
have missed relevant threads...?

  Fedore Core 2, amavisd-new 2.2.1, avg 45msg/min, spikes to 250msg/min, 0.80
CPU usage averages no more than 10% (often half that) per amavis server
process.  This is a production environment, but I can steal a minute to grab
debug output if needed (if I can figure out how...:))

TIA!

It's a pretty beefy box (though not even close to cutting-edge): dual 
PIII 1.13GHz processors, 1GB of RAM, FreeBSD 4.8. It's not 
particularly processor-bound--the load average is usually less than 
1, and top only reports 162MB of active RAM. I'm wondering if there 
might be something weird with .doc scanning (for macro viruses)? That 
wouldn't be a problem with PDFs...

[Clamav-users] Feature Request

2005-03-17 Thread karlp
Has anyone considered or requested that the URL for upgrading Clamav might
be put in the notice the admin receives when the following message is
sent:

WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED - please update immediately!

I may just poke through the source code, but my time can be better spent
elsewhere...

This is NOT meant to be taken as a high priority. Keeping my servers clean
from viruses is significantly more important than worrying about whether I
have to type clamav.net in the URL field.

Thanks for not flaming me.

This one looks nice but it depends on an additional library:

RE: [Clamav-users] clamAV 0.83 milter discard infected message...

2005-03-17 Thread Daniel Suen
Yes, I mean the DISCARD in the milter, anyone knows how to do it? As far as 
I know, there are connection-oriented and message-oriented kind of things 
in milters, and I do not know where to modify the code to do what I want.

Best,
Daniel.

Well, I just turned one of the RTF documents I've got kicking around
into a DOC, coming out at 480 KB.  That went through in ~3 seconds.

I suspect the possibility of a config problem on your box?

Worth checking - which milter are you using and are you using the
clamav from the ports?

Simple answer - use one of the many milter options available to scan the
mail within sendmail.
