NAME
       clamav-milter.conf - Configuration file for clamav-milter

DESCRIPTION
       clamav-milter.conf  contains  the configuration options for clamav-mil-
       ter(8).

FILE FORMAT
       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:

       BOOL   Boolean value (yes/no or true/false or 1/0).

       STRING String without blank characters.

       SIZE   Size  in	bytes.	You can	use 'M'	or 'm' modifiers for megabytes
	      and 'K' or 'k' for kilobytes.

       NUMBER Unsigned integer.

MAIN OPTIONS
       Example
	      If this option is	set clamav-milter will not run.

       MilterSocket STRING
	      Define the interface through which we communicate	with sendmail.
	      This option is mandatory!
	      Possible formats are:
	      [[unix|local]:]/path/to/file - to	specify	a unix domain socket
	      inet:port@[hostname|ip-address] -	to specify an ipv4 socket
	      inet6:port@[hostname|ip-address] - to specify an ipv6 socket
	      Default: unset

       MilterSocketGroup STRING
	      Define the group ownership for the (unix)	milter socket.
	      Default: disabled	(the primary group of the user running clamd)

       MilterSocketMode	STRING
	      Sets the permissions on the (unix) milter	socket to  the	speci-
	      fied mode.
	      Default: disabled	(obey umask)

       FixStaleSocket BOOL
	      Remove stale socket after	unclean	shutdown.
	      Default: yes

       User STRING
	      Run  as  another user (clamav-milter must	be started by root for
	      this option to work)
	      Default: unset (don't drop privileges)

       ReadTimeout NUMBER
	      Waiting for data from clamd will timeout after this  time	 (sec-
	      onds).
	      Default: 120

       Foreground BOOL
	      Don't fork into background.
	      Default: no

       Chroot STRING
	      Chroot  to  the specified	directory. Chrooting is	performed just
	      after reading the	config file and	before dropping	privileges.
	      Default: unset (don't chroot)

       PidFile STRING
	      Save the process identifier of a clamav-milter (main thread)  to
	      a	specified file.
	      Default: disabled

       TemporaryDirectory STRING
	      Optional path to the global temporary directory.
	      Default: system specific (usually	/tmp or	/var/tmp).

CLAMD OPTIONS
       ClamdSocket STRING
	      Define  the clamd	socket to connect to for scanning. This	option
	      is mandatory! Syntax:
	      ClamdSocket unix:path
	      ClamdSocket tcp:host:port
	      The first	syntax specifies a local unix  socket  (needs  an  ab-
	      solute path) e.g.:
	      ClamdSocket unix:/var/run/clamd/clamd.socket
	      The  second  syntax  specifies a tcp local or remote tcp socket:
	      the host can be a	hostname or an ip address; the	":port"	 field
	      is  only	required  for IPv6 addresses, otherwise	it defaults to
	      3310 e.g.:
	      ClamdSocket tcp:192.168.0.1
	      This option can be repeated several times	with different sockets
	      or even with the same socket: clamd servers will be selected  in
	      a	round-robin fashion.
	      Default: no default

EXCLUSIONS
       LocalNet	STRING
	      Messages	originating  from  these  hosts/networks  will	not be
	      scanned. This option takes a host(name)/mask pair	in CIRD	 nota-
	      tion and can be repeated several times. If "/mask" is omitted, a
	      host  is	assumed.  To  specify  a locally originated, non-smtp,
	      email use	the keyword "local"
	      Default: unset (scan everything regardless of the	origin)

       AllowList STRING
	      This option specifies a file which  contains  a  list  of	 basic
	      POSIX  regular expressions. Addresses (sent to or	from - see be-
	      low) matching these regexes  will	not  be	 scanned.   Optionally
	      each  line  can start with the string "From:" or "To:" (note: no
	      whitespace after the colon) indicating if	it is,	 respectively,
	      the  sender  or recipient	that is	to be allowed. If the field is
	      missing, "To:" is	assumed.  Lines	starting with #, :  or	!  are
	      ignored.
	      Default: unset (no exclusion applied)

       SkipAuthenticated STRING
	      Messages	from  authenticated  SMTP users	matching this extended
	      POSIX regular expression (egrep-like) will not be	 scanned.   As
	      an  alternative,	a  file	containing a plain (not	regex) list of
	      names (one per line) can be specified using the prefix  "file:".
	      e.g.  SkipAuthenticated  file:/etc/good_guys.  Note: this	is the
	      AUTH login name!
	      Default: unset (no allowing based	on SMTP	auth)

       MaxFileSize SIZE
	      Messages larger than this	value won't be scanned.	Make sure this
	      value is lower or	equal than StreamMaxLength in clamd.conf
	      Default: 25M

ACTIONS
       The following group of options  controls	 the  delivery	process	 under
       different circumstances.	The following actions are available:
       - Accept: The message is	accepted for delivery
       -  Reject:  Immediately refuse delivery (a 5xx error is returned	to the
       peer)
       - Defer:	Return a temporary failure message (4xx) to the	peer
       - Blackhole (not	available for OnFail): Like Accept but the message  is
       sent to oblivion
       -  Quarantine  (not  available  for OnFail): Like Accept	but message is
       quarantined instead of being delivered. NOTE: In	Sendmail  the  quaran-
       tine  queue  can	be examined via	mailq -qQ. For Postfix this causes the
       message to be placed on hold.

       OnClean STRING
	      Action to	be performed on	 clean	messages  (mostly  useful  for
	      testing)
	      Default: Accept

       OnInfected STRING
	      Action to	be performed on	infected messages
	      Default: Quarantine

       OnFail STRING
	      Action  to be performed on error conditions (this	includes fail-
	      ure to allocate data structures, no scanners available,  network
	      timeouts,	unknown	scanner	replies	and the	like)
	      Default: Defer

       RejectMsg STRING
	      This  option  allows  you	to set a specific rejection reason for
	      infected messages	and it's therefore only	useful	together  with
	      "OnInfected  Reject".  The  string "%v", if present, will	be re-
	      placed with the virus name.
	      Default: MTA specific

       AddHeader STRING
	      If this option is	set to	"Replace"  (or	"Yes"),	 an  "X-Virus-
	      Scanned"	and  an	 "X-Virus-Status"  headers will	be attached to
	      each processed message, possibly replacing existing headers.  If
	      it is set	to Add,	the X-Virus headers are	added possibly on  top
	      of  the existing ones. Note that while "Replace" can potentially
	      break DKIM signatures, "Add" may confuse	procmail  and  similar
	      filters.
	      Default: no

       ReportHostname STRING
	      When  AddHeader is in use, this option allows you	to set the re-
	      ported hostname. This may	be desirable in	order to avoid leaking
	      internal names. If unset the real	machine	name is	used.
	      Default: disabled

       VirusAction STRING
	      Execute a	command	(possibly searching  PATH)  when  an  infected
	      message is found.	The following parameters are passed to the in-
	      voked  program in	this order: virus name,	queue id, sender, des-
	      tination,	subject, message id, message date. Note	#1:  this  re-
	      quires MTA macroes to be available (see LogInfected below). Note
	      #2: the process is invoked in the	context	of clamav-milter. Note
	      #3: clamav-milter	will wait for the process to exit. Be quick or
	      fork to avoid unnecessary	delays in email	delivery.
	      Default: disabled

LOGGING	OPTIONS
       LogFile STRING
	      Enable logging to	selected file.
	      Default: no

       LogFileUnlock BOOL
	      Disable  a  system lock that protects against running clamd with
	      the same configuration file multiple times.
	      Default: no

       LogFileMaxSize SIZE
	      Limit the	size of	the log	file. The logger will be automatically
	      disabled if the file is greater than SIZE. Value of  0  disables
	      the limit.
	      Default: 1M

       LogTime BOOL
	      Log time for each	message.
	      Default: no

       LogSyslog BOOL
	      Use system logger	(can work together with	LogFile).
	      Default: no

       LogFacility STRING
	      Specify  the type	of syslog messages - please refer to 'man sys-
	      log' for facility	names.
	      Default: LOG_LOCAL6

       LogVerbose BOOL
	      Enable verbose logging.
	      Default: no

       LogInfected STRING
	      This option allows you to	tune what is logged when a message  is
	      infected.	 Possible  values  are	Off  (the default - nothing is
	      logged), Basic (minimal info logged), Full (verbose info logged)
	      Note: For	this to	work  properly	in  sendmail,  make  sure  the
	      msg_id, mail_addr, rcpt_addr and i macroes are available in eom.
	      In  other	 words	add  a	line like: Milter.macros.eom={msg_id},
	      {mail_addr}, {rcpt_addr},	i to your .cf file. Alternatively  use
	      the     macro:	 define(`confMILTER_MACROS_EOM',    `{msg_id},
	      {mail_addr}, {rcpt_addr},	i')
	      Postfix should be	working	fine with the default settings.
	      Default: disabled

       LogClean	STRING
	      This option allows you to	tune what is logged when no threat  is
	      found in a scanned message.
	      See LogInfected for possible values and caveats.
	      Useful in	debugging but drastically increases the	log size.
	      Default: disabled

       SupportMultipleRecipients BOOL
	      This  option  affects the	behaviour of LogInfected, LogClean and
	      VirusAction  when	a message with multiple	recipients is scanned:
	      If SupportMultipleRecipients is off (the default)	then one  sin-
	      gle log entry is generated for the message and, in case the mes-
	      sage  is	determined  to	be malicious, the command indicated by
	      VirusAction is executed just once. In both cases only  the  last
	      recipient	is reported.
	      If  SupportMultipleRecipients  is	on then	one line is logged for
	      each recipient and the command indicated by VirusAction is  also
	      executed once for	each recipient.
	      Note:  although it's probably a good idea	to enable this option,
	      the default value	is currently set to off	for legacy reasons.
	      Default: no

NOTES
       All options expressing a	size are limited to max	4GB. Values in	excess
       will be reset to	the maximum.
