The location of the file is dependent on how you compiled clamsmtp but it should usually be in either the .Pa /usr/local/etc/ or .Pa /etc/ directories. If .Xr clamsmtpd 8 does not find it's configuration file it'll print a warning when it starts up along with the location it's expecting to find it in. You can also specify a different location for a config file by passing the .Fl f argument to .Xr clamsmtpd 8 .Pp The settings are specified one per line. The setting names comes first, followed by a colon and then the value. Comments start with the '#' character on a line of their own. Whitespace is ignored at the beginning of line, end of line and around the colons. .Pp A sample configuration file can be found in the .Pa doc/ directory of the clamsmtp distribution. .Sh SETTINGS The various settings are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Fl .It Ar Bounce When this flag is set .Xr clamsmtpd 8 actively rejects messages with viruses. This may cause the sender to receive a message back notifying them of the virus. In most cases this is not a good idea since many viruses spoof sender addresses. [ Default: off ] .It Ar ClamAddress Specifies the address to connect to .Xr clamd 8 on. See syntax of addresses below. [ Default: .Pa /var/run/clamav/clamd ] .It Ar Listen The address and port to listen for SMTP connections on. See syntax of addresses below. [ Default: port 10025 on all local IP addresses ] .It Ar Quarantine Quarantine files that contain viruses by leaving them in the .Ar TempDirectory directory. The file names look like this (where X is a random character or number): .Pa virus.XXXXXX [ Default: off ] .It Ar MaxConnections Specifies the maximum number of connections to accept at once. .Xr clamd 8 also needs to be setup to accept at least this number of connections. [ Default: 64 ] .It Ar ScanHeader A header to add to scanned messages. Put an empty value to supress adding a header. [ Default: 'X-AV-Checked: ClamAV using ClamSMTP' ] .It Ar OutAddress The address of the SMTP server to send email to once it's been scanned. See syntax of addreses below. [ Required ] .It Ar TempDirectory The directory to write temp files too. This directory needs to be accessible to both .Xr clamd 8 and .Xr clamsmtpd 8 [ Default: .Pa /tmp ] .It Ar TimeOut The number of seconds to wait while reading data from network connections. [ Default: 180 seconds ] .It Ar TransparentProxy This option enables transparent proxy support, which allows you to route all SMTP traffic that's going through a gateway through clamsmtp which will then send it on to its final destination. This setup usually involves firewall rules which redirect traffic to clamsmtp, and the setup varies from OS to OS. .It Ar User The user to run as. If this option is specified then .Xr clamsmtpd 8 must be started as root. It will then drop root privileges and run as the specified user. The user can either be a name or a numerical user id. .It Ar VirusAction This is a command to run when a virus is found. See the VIRUS ACTION section in .Xr clamsmtpd 8 for a discussion of this option. .El .Sh ADDRESSES Addresses can be specified in multiple formats: .Bl -bullet .It Unix local addresses can be specified by specifying their full path. (ie: '/var/run/clamav/clamd'). .It IP addresses can be specified using dotted notation with a colon before the port number (ie: '127.0.0.1:3310'). .It IPv6 addresses are implemented but disabled. The code needs testing. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr clamsmtpd 8 .Sh AUTHOR .An Nate Nielsen Aq nielsen@memberwebs.com
