Clamav + Qscanq

R

Guest
Greetings,

I have a question about installing qscanq with clamav to scan the emails of my server. I have installed both following the tutorial on "http://www.hostbird.com/beta/index.php?loc=0601-0601". (Clamav was already installed on my linux box so i didn't change anything on this only the users accordingly to the tutorial.

In my opinion everything went find but when I’m testing my configuration with the command "export DEBUG=1; /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject -a root < /usr/local/qscanq/src/TEST-BAD" i'm not getting any response literally seeing nothing. I have no idea what I did wrong.

When I’m doing a test of the clamav scanner is working with clamdscan. The response is:
/usr/local/qscanq-0.43/src/eicar_com.zip: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND
/usr/local/qscanq-0.43/src/TEST-BAD: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND
So the virus is recognized by clamav.

Hopefully someone can help me further because I have no idea how to find the solution to this problem.

Sincerely,


Ruben
 
I havent played around with qscanq before, but I did do rpms for qmail-scanner in the atomic repository. I suspect the integration issues would be the same between the two if you wanted to look at an alternate implementation for pointers.
