Mercury Suggestions
ClamAv / ClamWin / Confirmation of successful virus checking

[quote user="jessicarabbit"]The ClamAV world seems in flux. ClamAV now seems to be Immunet.[/quote]

ClamAV is still ClamAV and they produce a Windows version of the product available here. Immunet was a separate company who developed a 'cloud-based' Windows anti-virus product with ClamAV.  The Immunet version is not suitable for use with Mercury.

ClamWin from www.clamwin.com is a different product that does not contain the clamD module that Mercury needs.

You can go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/clamav/files/clamav/win32/ and download the latest ClamAV version - *i386* for 32-bit or *x86_64* for 64-bit install.

(There are other Windows versions at http://oss.netfarm.it/clamav/ and http://hideout.ath.cx/ClamAV/, although the last one has not been updated for some time.)

[quote]One of the things I love about Mercury is what I call "Visibility". It is reasonably easy to tell what it is doing or not doing. Please extend this concept for what ever resource we are using to do anti-virus checking and display some form of verification, status, log entry, etc. that the virus checker is alive and processing the mail. This goes for the other add-ons as well.[/quote]

One thing you can do is examine the ClamWall log file regularly and look for error lines.  There may be tools out there to automate that task as well.

The ClamAV world seems in flux. ClamAV now seems to be Immunet.

In an effort to get ClamWall running, I ended up downloading ClamWin and pointed ClamWall to the bin directory. The Question then became "Is it working". I have not figured out how to tell.

Thank you.
