[clamav-users] Connection Refused error

[Ravi Maddi]

We are trying to avoid installing clamd in developers workstations and
instead let the integration server scan email attachments for this web
application we are building.  Is there any configuration change that lets
my integration server scan file(s)?  We can enable ports if needed within
the organization.

Thanks for your help!
