Post subject: | ClamAV does not send mails with HAVP (VirusEvent) |
Hello First let me report, that Squid, HAVP and ClamAV seem to work fine. There is only a problem with ClamAV. In the config file clamd.conf there are some lines saying: # Execute a command when virus is found. In the command string %v will # be replaced by a virus name. # Default: disabled #VirusEvent /usr/local/bin/send_sms 123456789 "VIRUS ALERT: %v" So I configured: VirusEvent echo "%v" | /bin/mail -s "VIRUS ALERT Proxy1: %v" user@domain.de Unfortunately this does not work at all. Pointing my browser to the eicar test files HAVP reports the virus, it is logged to havp.log. But a mail is never sent out. No logging to /var/log/messages, /var/log/mail, /var/log/clamd etc. When I call the command like this (because ClamAV is running as user vscan) everthing works fine. sudo -u vscan echo "%v" | /bin/mail -s "VIRUS ALERT Proxy1: %v" user@domain.de I also tried some changes in clamd.conf already to check wether this file is the one ClamAV really uses. But ClamAV is just doing nothing at all. Same result as if I comment this line out. Any ideas ? Thanks & Regards, Alexander |

Hi, I think there is a small misunderstanding here.. HAVP does not use clamd, so clamd.conf has no effect. Cheers, Henrik |

Hi Henrik Sorry for this 'silly' question. Embarassing....but it explains why it does not work at all like this Does it use clamscan which does not use clamd.conf ? If so, how can I get a mail in case clamscan finds something ? As far as I understand the issue so far, clamscan is called by HAVP. Perhaps that's another 'silly' question but unfortunately I have not found a solution in the documentation nor via Google... Regards, Alexander |

HAVP uses ClamAV library. So it is kind of "clamd/clamscan" in itself, loads patterns and scans the files.. Clamd and clamscan are also "stand-alone" programs that use the library. Cheers, Henrik |

Hi Henrik, thanks for your explination. Do you know a way in HAVP to get an email if a virus was found ? Or just use something like logsurfer or swatch ? Regards, Alexander |
