[Mimedefang] Missed Viruses

2004-05-18 Thread Stewart James
Hi all,

I seem to be having an issue with MD and clamAV.

I am now running clamAV and Trends vscan - ClamAV first.

Some viruses are slipping past ClamAV, but are being picked up by Trend.
I have started to quarantine the ones picked up by Trend - and when I
submit the entire message to the clamAV online scanner the virus is
found. When I scan the entire message locally the virus is not found
(which I thought was OK as I did not think clamAV would unpack it's own
mime messages anyway.)

Looking at the missed viruses they are all bounces from other systems
that have attached in some way or form the entire virus. I am thinking
that for some reason MD is not unpacking all the possible mime parts and
thus clamAV never gets to see a binary file to check.

I have thrown a sample at: http://lists.vu.edu.au/MD/ENTIRE_MESSAGE

Has anyone else come accross this? Any ideas on what I may be doing
wrong?

Thanks,

Stewart

Hi,
Thank you for the reply's, for now then I'll just take it that the telnet 
client is having issues and that this will not affect mail transfer when it is sent 
through email client/server's.

Thanks for the help

Subject: [Mimedefang] OT: problem with helo

Hi,
Sorry it's off topic, but I thought someone may know the answer.

When I telnet to my mimedefang box on port 25. I get the standard greeting just fine. 
But if I type 'helo' it returns 'needs a domain' so I then put 'helo domain.com' and I 
am allowed to continue with the mail.

What I have just found on a fresh telnet is, after the greeting if I put 'helo 
domain.com' I get 'command unrecognised' so I then have to put 'helo' and get the 
error and then 'helo domain.com'.

Basically is this just how it is, or is something wrong?

Many thanks

Andrew

RE: [Mimedefang] multiplexor problems

2004-05-18 Thread Paul Murphy
Marius,

 In sendmail.mc have added
 INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang', 
 `S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang-multiplexor.sock, F=T, 
 T=S:360s;R:360s;E:15m')dnl

The milter config needs to point at the main MIMEdefang socket, not the
multiplexor socket.

Use:

INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`mimedefang', `S=unix:/var/spool/MIMEDefang/mimedefang.sock,
F=T, T=C:15m;S:5m;R:5m;E:15m')

...and adjust the timeout values to something appropriate for your connection
and requirements.  The values shown here are as recommended on this list several
times.

Best Wishes,

Paul.

 I seem to be having an issue with MD and clamAV.

Version of MD?  If you're not running 2.42 or later then you'll have
problems with clamav.

Version of clamav?  You need to be on either 0.70 or a similarly recent
devel snapshot.  Are you running clamd or clamscan with MD?
 
 I have started to quarantine the ones picked up by Trend - and when I
 submit the entire message to the clamAV online scanner the virus is
 found. When I scan the entire message locally the virus is not found
 (which I thought was OK as I did not think clamAV would 
 unpack it's own mime messages anyway.)

Maybe your signatures aren't current.  Maybe you've not enabled the
mailbox option.

 I have thrown a sample at: http://lists.vu.edu.au/MD/ENTIRE_MESSAGE

Unfortunately you may have thrown it, but you forgot to allow anybody
access to it:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /MD/ENTIRE_MESSAGE on this server.

Apache/1.3.26 Server at lists.vu.edu.au Port 80



PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list.  Email sent directly to me may
be ignored utterly.

[Mimedefang] Recovering Quarantined Message

2004-05-18 Thread Ben Kamen
Ok, I tried the FAQ item and since I don't have a ENTIRE_MESSAGE file, I'm out 
of luck? I just want the PART.1.BODY (.chm file)

Where can I find the fang.pl? It says contrib/fang.pl but what's the rest of the 
path on that?

Thanks,

Based on everyone's feed back, i put Spamhaus as my first sendmail dnsbl.  
It blocked 27,283 connections since 10:33am today. Sweet.  No complaints
yet.  Do these rejects show up in the mailstats command?

I am graphing with rrdtool the esmtp msgsrej data, but i'm guessing the 
dnsbl is showing up under C (TCP connections) row msgsrej.  What's the 
difference between the esmtp msgsrej and the tcp msgsrej?
