Re: [AMaViS-user] Preventing Virus Alerts with amavisd-new and ClamAV

[Mark M. <Mar...@ij...>]

Tim,

| Since most virii in the wild today spoof the sender address, I would like
| to be nice and not send rejection notices for emails that I find to contain
| a virus. I think the folloing settings are correct to not send the virus
| notification,
|   $final_virus_destiny = D_DISCARD;  # (defaults to D_BOUNCE)

Correct.

Also, the catchall true in
  $viruses_that_fake_sender_re = new_RE(
    ...
    [qr/.*/ => 1],  # true by default
  );
achieves the same even if $final_virus_destiny would be D_BOUNCE.


| are there any other settings I should look for?  I believe
| the way I have it set, a rejection message should be sent if someone
| sends an infected email, but if someone sends an attachment with a
| banned extension (ie. a .vbs file) a rejection email should be sent.
|   $final_virus_destiny      = D_DISCARD;  # (defaults to D_BOUNCE)
|   $final_banned_destiny     = D_BOUNCE;  # (defaults to D_BOUNCE)
|   $final_spam_destiny       = D_BOUNCE;  # (defaults to D_REJECT)
|   $final_bad_header_destiny = D_PASS;  # (defaults to D_PASS), D_BOUNCE

Right.

| $warnvirussender = 0;   # (defaults to false (undef))
| $warnbannedsender = 1;  # (defaults to false (undef))

Do not overspecify, just leave them at the default.
$warnv*sender are only marginally useful and only when
the corresponding *_destiny is D_PASS, and yours isn't.
