How to disable clamav antivirus

Hello, please, how to disable clamav antivirus?

Requirements:
- Turns off only email antivirus checks, leaves amavis, spamassasin, etc. on.
- Does it apply to all current and future emails of all domains, all mailboxes globally?
- The configuration will be persistent (permanent), i.e. it will not be deleted, for example, when ISPConfig is upgraded.

From the top, the highest preferred solution priority:
1. Use the global settings in the ISPConfig web administration panel.
2. Using the service configuration file.
3. Using a one-time SQL query.

I've tried all kinds of options, but I'm getting errors in journalctl:

Have you alread tried Internet Search engines with

Code:

site:howtoforge.com how to disable clamav antivirus

Have you read ISPConfig FAQ https://www.faqforge.com/linux/cont...ilter-and-antivirus-functions-in-ispconfig-3/

 

I tried to write what I need as clearly as possible and yet you send me an assignment that does not meet my assignment.

I remind you that I definitely do not want to turn off amavis. I don't want to turn off the content filter either, I just want to turn off the antivirus check, nothing more.

 

Don't be rude. To me @Taleman was trying to help and was directing you to the right way and page.

 

I've seen a million instructions and I've commented in amavis on the requests that the instructions recommended to me, but amavis is trying to run the antivirus. I don't know what to do with it, it seems to me that there is no proper functional instruction that would not generate error messages in journactl.

I try the following, but it just keeps generating error messages in the journal:

- name: "Antivirus | Editing Amavis configuration 1/2 ..."
lineinfile:
dest: /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf
regexp: "^@bypass_virus_checks_maps = (.*)$"
line: "# @bypass_virus_checks_maps = ("
backrefs: yes
notify:
- Restarting service amavis...

- name: "Antivirus | Editing Amavis configuration 2/2 ..."
lineinfile:
dest: /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf
regexp: "^# @bypass_virus_checks_maps = (.*)$"
line: "@bypass_virus_checks_maps = (1); # controls running of anti-virus code"
backrefs: yes
notify:
- Restarting service amavis...

- name: "Antivirus | Removing packages clam*"
yum:
name: "{{ packages }}"
state: absent
vars:
packages:
- clamd
- clamav-data
- clamav-update
- clamav
- clamav-scanner-systemd
- clamav-devel
- clamav-lib
- clamav-server-systemd
notify:
- Restarting service amavis...

Please, does anyone have a tried and tested solution to turn it off properly? Thank you very much.

 

Done. I final sove with this tasks, thanks you:

Sorry to necro this thread, but how do I execute the script in the above post please? I want to implement the same thing as the OP. Thanks

 

Yes, in fact, almost the latest ISPConfig. Thanks for the quick response. I ask this then: Is it possible to disable just ClamAV and leave Rspamd? My poor server with 1GB RAM is choking when it is scanning incoming emails.

Thanks

 

Yes, indeed:

Code:

Filename                                Type            Size            Used            Priority
/dev/vda3                               partition       998396          232524          -2

When I manually disable the ClamAV service, everything is fine... So I would like to delete it and make that persistent throughout software updates but not lose the spam functionality.

 

Just go to "Email | Domain | Spamfilter | not enabled"
