Description Philip Prindeville 2011-11-15 22:43:57 UTC

Description of problem:

There's a lot of trivial/mechanical work involved in setting up clamav to work with mimedefang. And it's easy to make a mistake and spend hours troubleshooting it (especially if SElinux is enabled).

A subpackage called "clamav-mimedefang" that installs and initializes the service would be handy.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

clamav-0.97.3-1500

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:

2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:

It would contain:

/etc/clamd.d/mimedefang.conf
/etc/init.d/clamd.mimedefang
/etc/sysconfig/clamd.mimedefang
/usr/sbin/clamd.mimedefang

and during it's %postinst it would create:

/var/log/clamd.mimedefang
/var/run/clamd.mimedefang/

and run "chkconfig clamd.mimedefang on ; service clamd.mimedefang start".

It could also link:

ln -s /var/run/clamd.mimedefang/clamd.sock /var/spool/MIMEDefang/clamd.sock

Anyone?

Comment 3 Enrico Scholz 2012-01-25 20:21:49 UTC

I am going to close this as WONTFIX because:

* 'clamav' is the wrong package for mimedefang/exim/... integration
  because these software projects have nothing in common except that
  they can communicate

* it will be a non trivial work (3 or 4 (with sysv) new subpackages,
  user creation, init script registration...)

* although I use mimedefang by myself, I am not familiar with exim or
  other server integration

* reassigning this bug to mimedefang/exim/... and requesting that the
  clamav integration is provided there is not a solution because items
  above hold for them too


Creating a new fedora package which does the requested integration
is probably the most clean solution. I do this for myself (see
http://ensc.de/clamd.mimedefang.spec) but do not have time to deal
with the fedora review process.
