💖 clamav-milter — the milter manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so you found clamav-milter(8), the milter-compatible mail scanner page. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

clamav-milter — it's a milter compatible mail scanner. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

clamav-milter [options]

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. no cap. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

clamav-milter is a filter for the sendmail(1) mail server. it literally just sits there and scans your mail, using a scanning engine that's built into clamd(8). it's giving "I don't do the work myself, I have people" 👑

and the way that it can use load balancing and fault tolerant techniques?? iconic. it can connect to more than one clamd(8) server at once and seamlessly hot-swap to even out the load between different machines. and if a server goes down? it keeps scanning for viruses anyway. main character energy fr fr 😭💖

tl;dr: multiple clamd servers, balanced load, zero drama when one of them dips. obsessed. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — spits out help info and dips. that's it, that's the whole job. 🙈
  • -V, --version — prints the version number and exits. show me the numbers bestie 🔥
  • -c FILE, --config-file=FILE — reads the config from FILE. you tell it where, it goes there. communication queen. 💜

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /etc/clamav/clamav-milter.conf

that's the one. that's the config file. lowkey the most important path on this whole page. ✨
