I just don't see how you can use ClamAV on a MTA w/o Amavisd-new. I thought Amavisd-new was the daemon that allows email to be passed from SMTP to ClamAV and vice versa...that's why I can't believe more people don't use it. On 3/5/10, Daenyth Blank wrote:

Does anyone have any idea what is holding this software back from getting votes / moved into the 'Community? Is it considered buggy or just not widely used enough in the Arch community?

Most likely there hasn't been a TU interested in taking it. Virus scanners aren't much use on a system without an smtpd, and clam tends to be popular there. It also only has had 18 votes over the past 5 years, so it's pretty clearly not very popular...

There are many options besides amavisd - mimedefang comes immediately to mind.  If you're using postfix or sendmail, google milter.

Yes. I have only ever used Postfix for MTA. I will check out 'milter'.
