Daniel T. Staal ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: [clamassassin-announce] Problems with ClamAV 0.90 and clamassassin 1.2.3 From: "James Lick" Date: Sat, February 17, 2007 11:50 am To: clamassassin-announce@jameslick.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear clamassassin users, There is a compatibility problem when using clamassassin 1.2.3 with the new ClamAV 0.90 release. The new ClamAV release has changed some of the command line options, and one of these changes makes clamassassin not work correctly when using clamscan. However, using clamassassin with clamdscan doesn't seem to have any problems. The problem is that clamscan has removed the --mbox option which was required in old versions of ClamAV when scanning an email message. Now clamscan can scan email messages without any special options and the --mbox option was removed. In ClamAV 0.90, running clamscan with this option will no longer work. clamassassin had used this option for compatibility with older versions of ClamAV, so clamassassin will fail to work with ClamAV's clamscan. I am testing a version which fixes this problem. In the meantime you have two options: 1) Configure your system to run clamd and using clamdscan in clamassassin. (This will give you better performance too!) 2) If you want to remain using clamscan, edit the clamassassin script and search for the line reading: CLAMSCANOPT="--no-summary --stdout --mbox" Change this to: CLAMSCANOPT="--no-summary --stdout" I will post a follow up when the updated version is available. Thanks to Paul Taylor and Michael Ossmann for sending in bug reports about this problem!
