You should

edit /etc/exim/exim.conf

Code: Select all

#CLAMD =  yes
CLAMD =  no

edit /usr/local/vesta/conf/vesta.conf and comment / remove clamav

Code: Select all

#ANTIVIRUS_SYSTEM='clamav'
ANTIVIRUS_SYSTEM=''

than disable and stop the service

Code: Select all

systemctl disable clamd
systemctl stop clamd
systemctl restart exim

test exim (send and receive email)
watch your log

tell me if it's work

These notes worked for me on Ubuntu 16.04.05 and OpenVZ

# edit /etc/exim/exim.conf
# commend out the CLAMD line
# CLAMD = no
# this can also be done in Vesta
# server > exim4 > configure

Code: Select all

sudo mcedit /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template

# edit /usr/local/vesta/conf/vesta.conf and comment / remove clamav
# #ANTIVIRUS_SYSTEM='clamav' becomes ANTIVIRUS_SYSTEM=''

Code: Select all

sudo mcedit /usr/local/vesta/conf/vesta.conf

# stop clamav-from running and restart the mail service

Code: Select all

sudo service clamav-daemon stop
sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-restart-mail

# try a test email
# and reboot the machine to ensure everything survives
