SurgeMail List,

We recently upgraded our SurgeMail installation to 7.3p-17 to overcome another issue that we were having.  We are running SurgeMail on linux with ClamAV as the virus scanner as per the SurgeMail documentation.  Today, I noticed that email messages were not being scanned since the upgrade. I discovered that the new setting g_virus_scanner_list was added in 7.3j-6. However, we have g_virus_cmd_email “TRUE” and g_virus_cmd_body “TRUE”. That should mean that SurgeMail sends all emails through to the AV scanner. We discovered today that this was not the case. We had to set g_virus_scanner_list to “*” in order to get SurgeMail to start sending emails to ClamAV again.

It appears that g_virus_scanner_list is at odds with g_virus_cmd_body (and possibly g_virus_cmd_email).  At minimum, SurgeMail should not use g_virus_scanner_list if g_virus_cmd_body is enabled.

Question to Netwin:  Does setting g_virus_scanner_list to “*” cause all messages to get scanned or just messages with attachments

Thanks,
