freshclam: Configuration file for Clam AntiVirus database update tool

Command to display freshclam manual in Linux: $ man 5 freshclam

MacOS Sierra に ClamAV を導入する ClamAV に関する比較的新し目のドキュメントが少なかったので、ここに作成します。 ClamAV is 何 “ Clam AntiVirus （クラム・アンチウイルス。略称Clam AV）とは、オープンソース (GPL) で提供されているクロスプラットフォームのアンチウイルスソフトウェアである。. AlternativeTo is a free service that helps you find better alternatives to the products you love and hate. The site is made by Ola and Markus in Sweden, with a lot of help from our friends and colleagues in Italy, Finland, USA, Colombia, Philippines, France and contributors from all over the world.

1. There is a large selection of included plugins, including a clamav plugin (docs, source) that filters messages using clamd. Haraka is attractive to two audiences: Anyone managing mail systems with thousands or tens-of-thousands of concurrent incoming SMTP connections (like Craigslist) and wants to do with it fewer racks of servers.
2. Now with the 6.2 release (available in beta as I write this), ClamAV support has been added and can be used either as the stand-alone scanner or as the secondary to McAfee. To use ClamAV with Kerio MailServer you need to get /usr/local/sbin/clamd running on the Mac (basically the same procedure applys to Linux).

The file consists of comments and options with arguments. Each line which starts with a hash (#) symbol is ignored by the parser. Options and arguments are case sensitive and of the form Option Argument. The arguments are of the following types:

When an option is not used (hashed or doesn't exist in the configuration file) freshclam takes a default action.

Default: disabled

This directive enables database and software version checks through DNS TXT records.
Default: enabled, pointing to current.cvd.clamav.net

DatabaseMirror STRING

Server name where database updates are downloaded from. In order to download the database from the closest mirror you should configure freshclam to use db.xy.clamav.net where xy represents your country code. If this option is given multiple times, freshclam(1) tries them in the order given. It's strongly recommended that you use db.xy.clamav.net as the first mirror and database.clamav.net as the second.
Default: database.clamav.net

With this option you can control scripted updates. It's highly recommended to keep it enabled.

Default: no

Use given proxy server and TCP port for database downloads.

HTTPProxyUsername STR,HTTPProxyPassword STRING

Proxy usage is authenticated through given username and password.

LocalIPAddress IP

Default: Use OS'es default outgoing IP address.

NotifyClamd STRING

Notify a running clamd(8) to reload its database after a download has occurred. The path for clamd.conf file must be provided.
Default: The default is to not notify clamd. See clamd.conf(5)'s option SelfCheck for how clamd(8) handles database updates in this case.

Default: 10

ReceiveTimeout NUMBER

Timeout in seconds when reading from database server.
Default: 30

SubmitDetectionStats STRING

When enabled freshclam will submit statistics to the ClamAV Project about the latest virus detections in your environment. The ClamAV maintainers will then use this data to determine what types of malware are the most detected in the field and in what geographic area they are. This feature requires LogTime and LogFile to be enabled in clamd.conf. The path for clamd.conf file must be provided.
Default: disabled

DetectionStatsCountry STRING

Country of origin of malware/detection statistics (for statistical purposes only). The statistics collector at ClamAV.net will look up your IP address to determine the geographical origin of the malware reported by your installation. If this installation is mainly used to scan data which comes from a different location, please enable this option and enter a two-letter code (see http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/) of the country of origin.
Default: disabled
