[clamav-users] OnAccessExtraScanning not working?

[Nick]

Hello,

New to clamav so please forgive me if I've missed something obvious.

I have a pretty vanilla clamav setup (0.102.4) on Ubuntu 20.04. I can successfully get clamonacc to detect a test eicar signature when I cat the file after downloading it to a monitored directory.

I would however like the file to be scanned as soon as it is downloaded. So I enabled OnAccessExtraScanning as man clamd.conf says this "Toggles extra scanning and notifications when a file or directory is created or moved." Unfortunately when the eicar file is created (by using wget to download it) I don't see anything happen. I did read this feature was taken out due to a memory leak. Is it still removed or am I missing something else?

Best,
Nick
