ClamAV
Your private server supports Clam Antivirus (or ClamAV), a free, open-source virus scanner distributed by the ClamAV Team
(http://www.clamav.net/), under the terms of the GPL.
Do not use ClamAV to replace antivirus software on your local computer system. ClamAV is designed to supplement such programs
and provide additional safeguards. It does not provide the antivirus capabilities such as protection from Web based or
TCP/IP-based attacks. Only a local antivirus program installed to your computer system provides sufficient protection.
If you do not have Procmail installed on your private server, the ClamAV installation script will install it and configure
it as your local delivery agent (LDA). If you already have Procmail installed and have your own recipes in use, check your
/etc/procmailrc directory to see that the ClamAV configurations are in the proper order.
When ClamAV is installed, a table of utilities configured to operate in the background at regular intervals (or crontab) is
added to the system to update your virus database twice daily using ClamAV's Freshclam program.
For more documentation of ClamAV, consult the clamscan, clamd, freshclam, and clamav.conf manual pages. Find documentation
on the ClamAV Web site (http://www.clamav.net/).
