Install ClamAV on FreeBSD 14.1 and link it with Amavis against Postfix.
ClamAV is anti-virus software.
We will proceed on the assumption that you have already implemented Postfix.
Before proceeding, update the Ports Collection.

1.5 manual virus check
To manually check for viruses, do the following(Scanning range is /home/)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
# clamscan --infected --remove --recursive -r /home ----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Known viruses: 8694517 Engine version: 1.3.1 Scanned directories: 19 Scanned files: 30 Infected files: 0 Data scanned: 0.00 MB Data read: 0.00 MB (ratio 0.00:1) Time: 18.456 sec (0 m 18 s) Start Date: 2024:06:07 14:40:24 End Date: 2024:06:07 14:40:42 |
1.6 automatic virus scanning
• Scanning range is /home/.
• Output scan results to /var/log/clamav.log
• Automatic deletion of detected viruses
• Executed daily
Create an execution script with the above conditions
①Creation of virus storage directory
1 |
# mkdir -p /var/lib/clamav/virus |
➁Shell Script Creation
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
# vi /etc/clamscan.sh Describe the following information #!/bin/sh # clamscan script CLAMSCAN='/usr/local/bin/clamscan' echo "clamscan start "`date '+%Y%m%d'` $CLAMSCAN --log=/var/log/clamav/clamav.log -i --move=/var/lib/clamav/virus/ -r /home |
Grant execution permissions to scripts
1 |
# chmod 755 /etc/clamscan.sh |
Register in cron to be executed at 0:00 AM
1 2 3 |
# crontab -e Description of the following contents 0 0 * * * /etc/clamscan.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 |
Run the following as a test
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
# /etc/clamscan.sh clamscan start 20240607 ----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Known viruses: 8694517 Engine version: 1.3.1 Scanned directories: 19 Scanned files: 30 Infected files: 0 Data scanned: 0.00 MB Data read: 0.00 MB (ratio 0.00:1) Time: 15.382 sec (0 m 15 s) Start Date: 2024:06:07 14:43:23 End Date: 2024:06:07 14:43:38 |
If you look at /var/log/clamav/clamav.log, you will see the same log as above
