It accepts SMTP connections and forwards the SMTP commands and responses to another SMTP server. .Pp The DATA email body is intercepted and scanned before forwarding. Email with viruses are rejected and logged without any additional action taken. .Pp .Nm aims to be lightweight and simple rather than have a myriad of options. Your basic usage would look like the following (Be sure to see the SECURITY section below): .Pp .Dl clamsmtpd -c /path/to/clam.sock mysmtp.com:25 .Pp The above command would start .Nm listening on port 10025 (the default) and forward email to mysmtp.com on port 25. It also specifies the socket where .Xr clamd 8 is listening for connections. .Sh OPTIONS The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Fl .It Fl b When this flag is set .Nm 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. .It Fl c .Ar clamaddr specifies the address to connect to .XR clamd 8 on. See syntax of addresses below. [Default: .Pa /var/run/clamav/clamd ] .It Fl d Don't detach from the console and run as a daemon. In addition the .Ar level argument specifies what level of error messages to display. 0 being the least, 4 the most. .It Fl D .Ar tmpdir is the directory to write temp files too. This directory needs to be accessible to both .Xr clamd 8 and .Nm [Default: .Pa /tmp ] .It Fl h .Ar header is a header to add to scanned messages. Add a blank argument to not add a header. [Default: 'X-AV-Checked: ClamAV using ClamSMTP'] .It Fl l .Ar listenaddr is the address and port to listen for SMTP connections on. See syntax of addresses below. [Default: port 25 on all local IP addresses] .It Fl m .Ar maxconn specifies the maximum number of connections to accept at once. [Default: 64] .It Fl p This option causes .Nm to write a file with the daemon's process id, which can be used to stop the daemon. .Ar pidfile is the location of the file. .It Fl t .Ar timeout is the number of seconds to wait while reading data from network connections. [Default: 180 seconds] .It serveraddr The address of the SMTP server to send email to once it's been scanned. This option must be specified. See syntax of addreses below. .El .Sh LOGGING .Nm logs to .Xr syslogd by default under the 'mail' facility. You can also output logs to the console using the .Fl d option. .Sh LOOPBACK FEATURE In some cases it's advantagous to consolidate the virus scanning and filtering for several mail servers on one machine. .Nm allows this by providing a loopback feature to connect back to the IP that a SMTP connection comes from. If only a port is specified for the .Ar serveraddr (without IP) then .Nm passes the email to the incoming peer's IP address on the said port. .Sh SECURITY There's no reason to run this daemon as root. It is meant as a filter and should listen on a high TCP port. It's probably a good idea to run it using the same user as the .Xr clamd 8 daemon. This way the temporary files it writes are accessible to .Xr clamd 8 .Pp Care should be taken with the directory that .Nm writes its temporary files to. In order to be secure, it should not be a world writeable location. Specify the directory using the .Fl t option. .Pp .Nm should probably not be run on a publicly accessible IP address or without a firewall. This is especially true if the loopback feature is used (see above). .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 can be specified using bracketted notation with a colon before the port number (ie: '[::1]:3310') .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr clamd 8 , .Xr clamdscan 1 .Sh AUTHOR .An Nate Nielsen Aq nielsen@memberwebs.com
