SpamSnake Jaunty Jackalope - Miss spell? (clamav-module)

Hey

Could just be me, but i cant seem to find the package clamav-module that is referred to in The Perfect SpamSnake - Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope

Anyone got a tips? =)

Edit:

 

Yes i also have this issue

So i'm assuming it's clamav by itself.i know i'm probably 100% wrong lol

since i'm new to linux

 

Heh I wouldn't know either .
I'm just an apprentice trying to find a solution for a internet gateway.

Appreciate that you came with your ideas tho
to little of those around ;D

Keep it up and you'll be an expert in no time ;D

 

a minor update if anyone has the some problem:

I installed clamav package instead, and will try to run with that, although, not sure if this will be the optimal solution, nor sure if it will work with the SpamSnake guide

 

clamav vs clamavmodule

I've been googling too and they mention that clamavmodule is much faster than clamav in scanning, but it seems to be clamavmodule is some sort of perl module ..

and my perl skills are close to none..

 

Cant say that I know to much about that myself either sorry ^^
But then again, do I need it? guess i will setup this guide as is for now, and from time to time check up on how this server is =) This will only be a beta period. so no biggi if my server is to slow with the mail

 

How to install the 'SpamSnake' clamav-module

Steps to get and install the [Spam Snake] clamav-module:

Be sure you have perl installed... (if not use: aptitude install perl) then enter:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

If you are prompted if you want to configure perl automatically choose: yes

When you are at [cpan] prompt enter (steps 1-7):

1) install CPAN (gets any upgrades for perl / cpan)​

2) reload cpan (reload any new version)​

3) test File::Scan::ClamAV (it will download the ClamAV module)​

4) look File::Scan::ClamAV (shell to the ClamAV area)​

5) make install (will perform the ClamAV-module install)​

6) exit​

7) quit​

​

All done, now we have the ClamAV-Module!

UPDATE: You will likely find that continuing with the [SpamSnake] setup that there will be other missing PERL modules:

I outline the steps to resolve this (it was hard) - and it now works:

Type: (at Linux command line)

cpan -i ExtUtils::Command::MM
aptitude install libconvert-binhex-perl
cpan -i Checker::ISA
cpan -i Archive::Zip
aptitude install libyaml-perl
cpan -i OLE::Storage_Lite

Now we are almost there: - see if it now works OK

Test the final perl setup with this:

/opt/MailScanner/bin/check_mailscanner

Great post, thanks peterwbowey =D

All the best!

 

Sorry for all the confusion guys, but it's supposed to be the clamav-daemon, not module.

Was on vacation and didn't have access to the net.
