amavis & clamav - strange behaviour?! misconfiguration ?

hi i am newbie here
i have installed perfectly without any errors or warnings ISP 3.0.1.6 onto Centos 5.4 server; following the perfect related guide at your site!

i have tested sending a virus message(eicar test file attached) to a test user @ domain newly created inside ispconfig in order to check spam/virus detections;
well, seeing /var/log/maillog i can see virus is correctly detected and blocked
("Blocked INFECTED (Eicar-Test-Signature)")
but a line log before i see:

"amavis[31018]: (31018-03) (!!)WARN: all primary virus scanners failed, considering backups"

(i have removed my sensible server data name)

so i have goggled for a solution ad i saw it is related to privileges of user "clamav" in relation to amavis group..
so i checked, but user "clamav" is correctly already a member of "amavis" group;
so i checked the socket configuration:
in /etc/clamd.conf
-> LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.sock

and /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf
->
# ### http://www.clamav.net/
['ClamAV-clamd',
\&ask_daemon, ["CONTSCAN {}\n", "/var/run/clamav/clamd.sock"],
qr/\bOK$/, qr/\bFOUND$/,
qr/^.*?: (?!Infected Archive)(.*) FOUND$/ ],

and you can see that they match.

..so where is the problem ?
..
another "wrong" thing is that in /var/log/maillog
i saw the system tries to send email from=<[email protected]>
but i have configured in ispconfig mydomain that is not "example.com"
if i check /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf
i can see:
$mydomain = 'websites.nameofmydomain.it'; # a convenient default for other settings

so it is correct!
but i have discovered another configuration file in /etc:
/etc/amavisd.conf
and inside it there is:
$mydomain = 'example.com'; # a convenient default for other settings

so it seems,
there are two amavis configuration files ..so my question is:
what configuration file is used from ispconfig and by the server ?

in addition, i saw that (obviously i think)
in "second" amavis config file: /etc/amavisd.conf
the "clamav" related configuration is all commented


thanks in advance..,
bye,
prisfeo.

p.s.: forgive my poor english, i am not english.

 

i have succeeded in resolving the above problem..
simply i have copied the
/etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf
in /etc folder
so overwriting the actual /etc/amavisd.conf
(that seems not configured by ispconfig, but used !)
now the clamav problem is gone away..


pls, tell me if i have made the right thing..
however i wonder where it is written in ispconfig configuration
which "amavisd.conf" file to use
cause i think it have to be somewhat corrected

bye,
prisfeo.

 

I want desactive Clamav and Spam Out of memory

Hello,

Could I deactive Clamav and spam, because my server run out of memory all time with this daemons. The server has 640MB es a virtual server, but i have got another server based p3 - 512MB and goes very good.

Or if somebody has any idea for this problem, i will be very happy and gratefull.

Thanks a lot

 

Thank you Till,

And for an Ispconfig 2 its enought memory?

 

hi Till..

just to know:
i have installed ISPconfig3 onto a linux server(not virtual) with Centos 5.4 with web&email services active (clamav, amavis, spamassassin,etc)..i think it will host about 30 joomla 1.5 web sites and manage about 60 email accounts (splitted in 30 different domains).
(i do not think visitors will be so many towards the websites)

the HW of the server is:
dual core intel Xeon 3.00 Ghz
1 GB RAM

..do you think is it suitable for the above tasks ?

 

And an another last question... what i should use? cgi, fastcgi, mod-php...

In performance and consumer terms

Thanks a lot Till
