Hi all, I had to switch to clamdscan on my centos 4.5 box. I would did the following: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=73940&postcount=10 http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=75122&postcount=20 When running top I can see clamd running as the service has started. I do not see any spamassassin processes running. I have also started the /etc/init.d/spamd service manually and then it show in "top" Is this the correct thing to do? thanks Mark
Please do not mix up clamscscan (clamav) and spamassassin as they are different software. If a mail is scanned for viruses, you will not see spamassassin processes as spamassassin scans for spam.
thanks for the reply. So its ok if I do all the other steps except adding /etc/init.d/spamassasin to the default run levels? I used to see at least 10-20 clamav/spamassasin processes running when doing a top. Now I hardly ever see clamd showing in the processes list for top. It seems to show hardly at all.
Yes, because we just changed clamd and not spamassassin to daemon mode. Clamd is much faster then clamscan, so you will not see the process with top very often.
