Hello,

I want to disable ClamAV (only 512MB RAM and it wasn't works correctly.. can't connect socket error)
After some search on the forum, I found similar solution:

1) Stop clamav
/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon stop

2) Uncomment out the below line in /etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user, and set it to 0.
@bypass_virus_checks_maps = (0);  # controls running of anti-virus code

3) Remove clamav from startup
update-rc.d -f clamav-daemon remove

4) Remove clamav from startup
update-rc.d -f clamav-freshclam remove

The clamav services are not loaded, but I still have the errors.
And the problem isn't just the warning in mail.log, I suspect that this slow down the delivery of each email.

Any help will be appreciated smile

Re: [SOLVED] ClamAV errors even after disabled

I only need to disable ClamAV, all users desktop are under GNU/Linux, so there is really little risks of viruses.
But I need SpamAssassin, and I suppose Amavisd is usefull for some others things than against viruses (sanitize, dkim.. ).

I don't understood, I have also removed all clamav packages and removed the amavisd/conf.d/15-av_scanner.conf

After the restart of amavis:

Aug 19 17:17:58 mail amavis[6753]: Using primary internal av scanner code for ClamAV-clamd

And still the errors at each incoming email:

Re: [SOLVED] ClamAV errors even after disabled

SOLVED.

I've found someone with exactly the same problem ( https://www.howtoforge.com/community/th … vis.52114/ )

The solution is to create a new file /etc/amavis/conf.d/90-custom with :

use strict;

@bypass_virus_checks_maps  = (1);

#------------ Do not modify anything below this line -------------
1;  # insure a defined return

And restart, this works!
