Hi, I just installed amavis-sendmail on a 7.2 box and I'm trying to configure it for my system. If I configure it as as being described in the mail root gets after installing and start amavis and sendmail from /etc/init.d, mails including a virus signature are being mailed normally. After reading /usr/share/doc/packages/amavis-sendmail/* I tried to modify Mlocal in /etc/sendmail.cf with the result that sendmail can't find /usr/sbin/scanmails. I tried to substitute scanmails with /usr/bin/amavis and /usr/bin/amavis-milter with the following result in /var/log/mail: sendmail[6161]: f5JFA9206161: f5JFA9306161: return to sender: unknown mailer error 1 or sendmail[6161]: f5JFA9206161: f5JFA9306161: return to sender: unknown mailer error 255 Any hints ? Thanks in advance Bjoern

There is nothing to configure, except for changing the path to the virus scanner(s). By default, amavis-sendmail uses H+BEDV AntiVir, which should be installed automatically (I assume amavis-sendmail was installed via yast).

Did you send eicar.com as an attachment or not? Which virus scanner are you using? For debugging purposes, you may set log_level to 5 in /usr/sbin/amavis.

I tried to substitute scanmails with /usr/bin/amavis Well, amavis-sendmail is amavis-perl-11 (with some minor bugfixes, i.e. output grepping for the virus(es) with H+BEDV works for the english and german version) and already _configured_ for use with sendmail's libmilter interface, as mentioned in README.SuSE. There is no need to change/configure anything at all.

H+BEDV is installed automatically? Wasn't this an expensive comercial product? IIRC each server costs EUR 1.500,-... oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.

Well, amavis needs at least one virus scanner and H+BEDV AntiVir/X [1] is currently the only product we ship in the pay series. Of course, it's only a trial version :-) And, yes, you can use other virus scanners with it, of course.

Will it work with Sendmail-tls? I get a warning, but was wondering....:-) Matt -- "The only thing complex about Linux are the users themselves." On Thu, 21 Jun 2001, Arjen Runsink wrote:

Is there also a package amavis-postfix in SuSE 7.2 ?

Sorry Rainer, It was/is a conflict error message. Saying that Sendmail standard is conflicting with sendmail-tls and that amavis needs sendmail standard... Matt

No. Well, you may use ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse_update/imap/1.0/virus/amavis-perl11-0.i386.rpm and read http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/kngu_imap_amavis.html Basically this rpm was created for use with our SuSE EMail Server, so no guarantee at all! amavis-perl is by design (the amavis script should be as small as possible) somewhat unflexible. The amavis script is generated at configure time for use with _one_ MTA. So, creating a SuSEconfig.amavis for switching between sendmail and postfix is not that easy. But providing an amavis-sendmail and amavis-postfix RPM is a waste of ressources. best regards, Rainer Link -- Rainer Link | SuSE - The Linux Experts link@suse.de | Developer of A Mail Virus Scanner (amavis.org) www.suse.de | Founder OpenAntiVirus Project (www.openantivirus.org)

If we are on that topic: Is there also a package or distribution for qmail available? oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.

We don't ship qmail or exim as a package. Therefore there is no amavis package for qmail or exim. Probably amavis generation 4 will be more flexible and more RPM-friendly, but there should be a stable release [1] of the third generation (amavisd branch) first ;-) And the active AMaViS Devel Team is really small, so a complete redesign will be much work ... best regards, Rainer Link [1] the amavisd-snapshot (with some patches from CVS) runs stable enough for a lot of people, so it's not that unstable :-) -- Rainer Link | SuSE - The Linux Experts link@suse.de | Developer of A Mail Virus Scanner (amavis.org) www.suse.de | Founder OpenAntiVirus Project (www.openantivirus.org)

Sorry, of course, I had better asked: Is qmail supported by amavis completly now? Does anybody has experiences? I run some old "hacked" version here, and I would like to replace it. oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.

Well, you should better ask this question in our amavis-user mailing list (see www.amavis.org for subscription details). :-) amavis-perl supports qmail, but some ppl run into trouble (with setuid perl scripts), and even if they follow the steps in README.qmail, it does not work (using a suid wrapper may work, see www.amavis.org/amavis-faq.php3). amavisd does still _not_ support qmail :-( The main problem is, the main AMaViS developers (well, Lars, /me and to some extend Geoff) do not use qmail and/or do only have some limited knowledge/experience. May I ask which version you're currently using? best regards, Rainer Link -- Rainer Link | SuSE - The Linux Experts link@suse.de | Developer of A Mail Virus Scanner (amavis.org) www.suse.de | Founder OpenAntiVirus Project (www.openantivirus.org)

Unfortuantely, they do not offer a workstation price for Linux. So you either buy the server which is ridiculus or use the personal license which is not really legal on a commercial system :-( It would be nice if someone from SuSE who deals with them would help them setting a price for a commercial personal system. cheers afx -- atsec information security GmbH Phone: +49-89-44249830 Steinstrasse 68 Fax: +49-89-44249831 D-81667 Muenchen, Germany WWW: www.atsec.com May the Source be with you!

Of course. On the other hand, I like this one and I always had trouble with the AVP installation. cheers afx -- atsec information security GmbH Phone: +49-89-44249830 Steinstrasse 68 Fax: +49-89-44249831 D-81667 Muenchen, Germany WWW: www.atsec.com May the Source be with you!
