Introduction

This page lists some procedures for testing the various applications that use and depend on ClamAV anti-virus software. These procedures are in somewhat a rough shape used to minimally configure any particular package and shouldn't be used as a production guide.

This page is part of the MOTU/Clamav update/backport effort.

Amavisd-new

• sudo apt-get install amavisd-new spamassassin
