clamd email antivirus
clamd email antivirus
Hi,
I just wanted to ask. Is clamd just an email antivirus?
Because I am using an external email server.
I have exim, dovecot and spamassassin disabled.
But of course, I need an anti virus. So my question is, is clamd just an email anti virus or an anti virus for the whole linux server?

Re: clamd email antivirus
Clam is an overall system-wide antivirus and can also scan Emails. SpamAssassin is AntiSPAM engine.
If you are using External Email, you can keep both disabled, since you don't have much use for them and it will keep system resources low.

Thanks
So for example I accidentally downloaded a virus or my users uploaded one on our website or some of my developer uploaded via ftp inside any Linux directory, the server is still safe using the built in vestacp clamd?
Clamd really eats a lot of resource, but I think I'm keeping it enabled even my emails are external. I just had to ask the question because if it doesn't protect the entire system, then enabling it is a waste of resource.
