I am running Postfix 2.0.16 on FreeBSD 5.2.1 and used the FreeBSD port
collection to install amavisd-new. I have this entry recurring in my
amavisd log:
WARN: all primary virus scanners failed, considering backups
I looked on the clamav web site and found this statement:
clamscan is enabled automatically if clamscan binary is found at
amavisd-new starup time. clamd is activated by uncommenting its entry in
the @av_scanners list, file /etc/amavisd.conf.
I see in my amavisd.conf file that the 'Clam Antivirus-clamd' entry
under @av_scanners is commented out, should it not be?
clamscan is what amavisd is resorting to after the Warning, is this a
bad thing? I also found searching the web that something may not be
configured correctly. That seeing this waring means clamav is not
running optimally. Can anyone offer any guidance?
