That's what I was missing. Thanks. Copy it to /etc/init.d. then symlink it into /etc/rc.d/rc3 (rc5 if you start up in graphical mode) as S(some number lower than Sendmail's)clamd - ie: S75clamd As Alexander has noted separately in a RH/Fedora environment, chkconfig is the preferred way. I haven't played with it a lot, but it's definitely a faster way of getting all the links done at once, and with the right name. In any case, I definitely want the Clam daemons starting before sendmail starts. I agree that it should be started before either Sendmail or MIMEDefang, though I can not tell you why. Must be BOFH intuition. As Alexander has also noted, since sendmail calls both MIMEDefang and ClamAV as milter calls, you need both of those daemons launched before sendmail does. Hence, my annoyance at the suggestion to simply add the ClamAV daemon launches in rc.local (which is normally run as S99local). Thanks to Johann, Alexander, Matthew and Adam who took the time to respond to my questions.

Probably for the same reason they felt compelled to post a real virus
for testing rather than the EICAR test-virus. (/me rolls eyes)

If none are set, no filters will be contacted. So using this definition you can change the invokation order of the milters which should be used, without need to reorder or to remove the milter lines itself.

Alternately, you could define both filters as in: define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `mimedefang, clmilter')dnl Note that there is probably no benefit to doing this rather than just removing the confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS entry unless you have a lot of filters and simply want to redefine the order in which they are called.

See http://www.sendmail.org/m4/adding_mailfilters.html That's what I get for copying verbatim, and not confirming against the docs that what is suggested is what I need. I wondered about the extra define... "Note that setting `confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS' after any > INPUT_MAIL_FILTER() commands will clear the list created by the prior > INPUT_MAIL_FILTER() commands." Take out your "define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `clmilter')" line and you should be OK. So done. With that removed, both ClamAV and MIMEDefang seem to be running happily together. Thanks for the feedback on this one. That definitely helps.
