1 | How To Use AMaViS With courier |
| 2 | ****************************** | |

| 7 | This setup requires Courier and Maildrop. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | You'll also need external unpackers, like arc etc. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | And yes, you need to have a virusscanner installed; and it must be | |
| 12 | in the $PATH environment variable. | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | Also, a problem one might run into is some weird configure output | |
| 15 | about undefined macros. To fix this, one needs to install: | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | http://cryp.to/autoconf-archive/Installed_Packages/acx_pthread.m4 | |
| 18 | into the directory specified by 'aclocal --print-ac-dir' and then rerun | |
| 19 | aclocal && automake && autoconf ! | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | In this configuration, amavis runs under a non-privileged user id | |
| 22 | (by default: amavis). Make sure it exists before proceeding. If a different | |
| 23 | user is chosen, use the "--with-amavisuser=USER" configure option for amavis. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | So, if you use defaults | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | ./configure --enable-courier | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | it should work. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | Configuring courier itself is very simple: | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | * a change to /etc/courier/courierd or /usr/lib/etc/courier/courierd: | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | From | |
| 36 | DEFAULTDELIVERY="| /usr/bin/maildrop" | |
| 37 | or | |
| 38 | DEFAULTDELIVERY=./Mail/Maildir | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | To | |
| f87ab4cf | 41 | DEFAULTDELIVERY="| /usr/sbin/amavis.courier | /usr/bin/maildrop" |

42 | |
| 43 | This is the recommended setup for Amavis. There is an alternative | |
| 44 | method which is listed below. | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | * a change to /etc/courier/courierd or /usr/lib/etc/courier/courierd: | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | From | |
| 49 | DEFAULTDELIVERY=./Mail/Maildir | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | To | |
| 52 | DEFAULTDELIVERY="| /usr/bin/maildrop" | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | * add to /etc/courier/maildroprc or /usr/lib/etc/courier/maildroprc: | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | # Virus Scan | |
| 57 | # | |
| 58 | import SENDER | |
| 59 | import RECIPIENT | |
| 60 | ||
| f87ab4cf | 61 | xfilter "/usr/sbin/amavis.courier $SENDER $RECIPIENT" |
| 1d3a9757 AA |
62 | |
| 63 | Additional Maildroprc rules | |
| 64 | ||
| 65 | If you would like to put your infected emails into their own Maildir | |
| 66 | you can add the following line to your maildroprc file. Make sure | |
| 67 | you create the Maildir or this rule will not work properly | |
| 68 | ||
| 69 | if (/^Subject:.*VIRUS IN*/) | |
| 70 | { | |
| 71 | exception { | |
| 72 | to "$DEFAULT/.Virus/" | |
| 73 | } | |
| 74 | } |
