Has anyone actually got CLAMD and EXIM working?
I've just had a go on a new VPS server without success. The only thing that happened was that my server slowed because clamd was hogging CPU.
I have done a lot of googling and all I found was a couple of howto's that said the same thing, and my questions from 2015 which is the last time I tried this.
I can get clamd / freshclam etc installed, although from the two howto's I worked from I had to edit / create service files and edit config files. However, I still do not manage to get a clamd.exim socket created on my system.
I have clamd and exim on some of my systems. However, clamd is not called directly from exim.
I use Mailscaner (https://www.mailscanner.info/) - it works using two exim queues so that one exim receives the mail and places it into a "received" queue, Mailscanner does various things to the messages including virus & spam scanning, then places it into the "scanned" queue and triggers a delivery.
