How to install the Antivirus Panel

The SME Server Antivirus installation based on Clam Antivirus enables automatic email virus scanning of all incoming/outgoing emails and ensures that the virus definition database is automatically kept up to date. The Panel provides an option for daily statistics as well as automatic deletion of old email stored and Quarantined (usually virus infected) and Problems. 

If you have installed by use of an older version of this script you can now run it again for upgrade (also if you are currently using the version from pagefault.org). Be aware that older versions of ClamAV (0.65) had DoS vulnerabilities and that the ClamAV database has changed dramatically from version 0.80 with new mirror functionality so an upgrade might be a very good idea.

[root@e-smith]# wget -N http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/downloads/AntiVirus/antivirus_install.sh

[root@e-smith]# sh antivirus_install.sh

You can now try to send a test "virus" email by attaching one of the signatures you can find at eicar.org. This enables you to see whether the system detects this signature file and whether your admin account (postmaster@yourdomain.com) receives the virus notification email.

Question	Answer
What do I do if I get the error message when I initially activate the panel from the server-manager   Can't call method "props" on an undefined value at /etc/e-smith/web/panels/manager/cgi-bin/spamfilter line 206. For help, please send mail to the webmaster (admin), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.	Problem is that the auto generated configuration file has invalid content (a bug). Do the following from shell: #cd /home/e-smith/ #mv spamassassin_V3 spamassassin_V3.old #wget -N http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/downloads/SpamFilter/spamassassin_V3
What if I am currently using the panel from pagefault.org - can I run this install script?	Yes. This script will detect the pagefault.org version and do an upgrade.
I get error message to my admin account with following content: /usr/bin/antivirus-stats.pl Can't locate Date/Manip.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/bin/antivirus-stats.pl line 22.

I get error message to my admin account with following subject "/usr/bin/freshclam --quiet - l /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log " and this message: ERROR: CVD file not found on remote server ERROR: Can't read main.cvd header from database.clamav.net (64.18.103.6)	Usually this happens if your system is trying to update virus database while a new is being uploaded on the database server by the Clam team. The error message should not happen the next time the antivirus panel updates.
Where are the Quarantined and Problems emails located?	Quarantined emails will be quarantined in /var/spool/amavis-ng/quarantine and Problems emails in /var/spool/amavis-ng/problems
