.Sh NAME
.Nm clamsmtpd
.Nd an SMTP server for scanning viruses via clamd
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl bq
.Op Fl c Ar clamaddr
.Op Fl d Ar level
.Op Fl D Ar tmpdir
.Op Fl h Ar header
.Op Fl l Ar listenaddr
.Op Fl m Ar maxconn
.Op Fl p Ar pidfile
.Op Fl r
.Op Fl t Ar timeout
.Ar serveraddr
.Nm
.Fl v
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is an SMTP filter that allows you to check for viruses using the ClamAV
anti-virus software. 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. By default email
with viruses are dropped silently 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 10025 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 q
Quarantine files that contain viruses by leaving them in the
.Ar tmpdir
directory. The file names look like this (where X is a random
character or number):
.Pa virus.XXXXXX
.It Fl t
.Ar timeout
is the number of seconds to wait while reading data from network connections.
[Default: 180 seconds]
.It Fl v
Prints the clamsmtp version number and exits.
.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 an
SMTP connection comes in from.
.Pp
To use this feature specify only a port number (no IP address) for the
.Ar serveraddr
in which case
.Nm
will pass the email back to the said port on the incoming IP address.
.Pp
Make sure the
.Ar maxconn
setting is set high enough to handle the mail from all the servers without refusing
connections.
.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')
