FTR, this is what I did for testing and have never bothered to change:

warn malware = *
message = WARNING! Virus! ($malware_name)

I tried this just as you are using it to no avail. It just looks like
clamav is looking for messages in the wrong place. Any ideas?

can you watch it with top and see if clam is getting called at all?
you should see clam cpu usage spike a bit. also do you have any clam
logs?

I"m stumped. Its probably something annoyingly obvious like maybe a
typo.

Have you checked to see that the clamd socket exists
(/var/run/clamav/clam.ctl?)?

umm....

what I don't know is whether there is a way to manually connect to
clamd say by piping a message to it or something like that. THat might
be helpful, but wouldn't know how.

sorry, no help

Hi,

It finally came to life. May have been something else, however this was
my last change. The directory /var/spool/exim4/scan/ had permissions
set to 770 however /var/spool/exim4 had permissions of 750. I did a
chmod 770 on /var/spool/exim4 and another test sending from my yahoo
account with the eicar text in the body was picked up and bounced back
to my yahoo account :-) Thanks for the suggestions all. It really did
help narrow it down.

Thanks,

Jim
