Postfix will scan for spam if you have SpamAssassin configured. Both SpamAssassin and ClamAV will need to be called from Postfix. If one isn’t working, you’ll need to check the mail log (/var/log/mail.log) for details.

Step 5 explains how to configure Postfix to call amavis. Amavis actually calls ClamAV and SpamAssassin (configured in the /etc/amavisd.conf file).

iztech,

I believe all of those modules should have been included in step 4. It’s easy to correct, though. Just issue the command, “sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell” again. Then in the CPAN shell, enter the command “install <ModuleName>” where <ModuleName> is replaced by the missing modules (ex. “install IO::Wrap” without quotes). Remember to install any dependencies if prompted to do so.

If you attempt to install any modules that are already installed, I think you’ll receive a message that the module is up to date (no harm done).

Let us know how that works for you. If anyone who reads this sees a mistake (I’m no expert here), please correct me.

I tried the new pList, but it didn’t work (of course, I’m not really sure what I’m doing). I tried the ‘depreciated’ way to make a startup item, and that appears to have worked.

I created /Library/StartupItems directory.
I copied the Apache directory from /System/Library/StartupItems to /Library/StartupItems.
I renamed the copied directory to ClamAV.
Then I edited all of the files replacing Apache with ClamAV.

When I was done, I rebooted and saw the system say “Starting ClamAV” (which is one of the lines in the startup script. And the process appears to be running.

All seems to work! I want to go through the settings files to completely understand what’s happening, but I wanted to add that it is complete and working. Thank you all!

OsX4me,

I don’t think the thread just stopped, and I doubt that EVERYONE got it working properly. I’m in the process of installing it (that’s why I came here), and I’ve had VERY few problems (cudos to the author!!!!). The one problem I did encounter was already discussed in this thread (white space before the -o options).

Try it! (that’s your encouragement) Then if you have problems, let everyone know and they’ll probably be able to help you out.

I’ll write more if I have more problems … not to dicsourage you, but to educate you in case you encounter the same problems.
