[Clamav-users] sendmail + clamav + mailscanner + spamassassin

2005-03-22 Thread Nabin Limbu
Hi,

My objective is to scan all mails and block / tag spam mails.

While searching online, I have found many one suggesting to install below 
combination:

Sendmail + Clamav with milter + MailScanner + Spamassassin

Is the above combination correct to fullfill my objective?

Now, I'm confused why I should use MailScanner. MailScanner also claims that it 
is an 
antivirus program and spam blocker. If so, why do I require clamav and 
spamassassin?

Though its an off topic, I think there might be some people who have idea upon 
MailScanner also.

Regards
Nabin Limbu

Hi, 

What are the benefits of using 3rd party software like Mailscanner, Mimedefang 
and 
many others with clamav? Why do people use when it can be done simply with 
clamav-milter and spamassassin.

 You do not need Mailscanner if you are using the milter. Mailscanner
 is a
processing programme that calls the restective programmes, i.e:
clamav, spamassassin.

 Read the documentation on clamav.net, not some howto.

[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.

Hi,

What is the difference between using clamd only and clamd + clamav-milter with 
mailserver. What additional benefits do we get while using clamav-milter.
