Re: Upgrading clamav

Which distro are you using? RHEL/CentOS or Debian/Ubuntu?

On RHEL/CentOS, you can run 'yum upgrade' to update them with iRedMail yum repository.
On Debian/Ubuntu, please push package maintainers to update them so that you can upgrade them via 'apt-get'.

Re: Upgrading clamav

Do you have iRedMail yum repository enabled?

# File: /etc/yum.repos.d/iRedMail.repo
[iRedMail]
name=iRedMail
baseurl=http://iredmail.org/yum/rpms/5/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
