Subject: [clamav-users] Configuration ErrorHi Team,I have run the configuration command, after installation of clamav-0.104.0-rc2.macos.universal.pkg, to generate the conf files from the default configuration. I get no output errors and it looks like all is well, however when I run clamconf I get the following message:vaughna.hart@NaCl4 ~ % clamconf -g clamav-milter.conf > clamav-milter.conf

Please tell us exactly how you installed the package.
Have you installed any previous version of ClamAV? In particular,
have you previously installed any version 0.104 release candidate?
Are you aware that a release candidate is not ready for production
use - especially a 0.104 release candidate - and that there may be
things in the package which do not behave as might be expected?
> to generate the conf files from the default configuration.
Although I have never installed ClamAV on a Mac, I believe that the
installation should normally create configuration files for you, and
that you should not need to run 'clamconf' to create them. I have
only ever run clamconf to show configuration settings. The online
documentation may be a little misleading in this respect, it says run
these commands "if needed" - it's probably not needed. (Incidentally
it also doesn't mention clamav-milter.conf in section "Clamconf".)

You are right to be concerned. In addition to answering the questions
above, please post the output of
clamconf -n
You can redirect the output of 'clamconf -n' to a file (use the command
clamconf -n > file
and post the content of the file) if you are unable to copy-and-paste
the entire output from stdout to your mailer.

Subject: Re: [clamav-users] Configuration Error
Hi there,
Most of this seems relevant to the OP - I think the official
documentation may have confused him.
On Mon, 30 Aug 2021, Al Varnell via clamav-users wrote:
> ... clamav-milter is a third party ClamAV tool ...
Although I no longer use clamav-milter, this has been needling
something at the back of my brain, off and on, for a while now.
Indeed as Mr. Varnell says, according to
https://www.clamav.net/downloads#otherversions
under the section "Third Party ClamAV Tools"
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
The software listed in this section is authored by third parties and
not by the ClamAV Team. Compatibility may vary. ...
Sendmail
clamav-milter | libclamav
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
so that does seem to imply that clamav-milter is considered to be one
of the third-party tools.
However, according to
https://docs.clamav.net/manual/Usage/Configuration.html#clamav-milterconf
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
ClamAV includes a mail filtering tool called clamav-milter.
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
and according to
https://docs.clamav.net/appendix/Terminology.html#clamav-components
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
ClamAV-Milter is a daemon that performs email filter scanning through clamd."
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
and
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
Client applications for clamd include clamdtop, clamdscan, clamav-milter,
and clamonacc. The socket interface is documented and there are also a
variety of third-party clients for clamd.
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
and according to
https://docs.clamav.net/manual/Installing/Community-projects.html#mail-filters
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
The ClamAV Team maintains ClamAV-Milter ...
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------
not to mention the fact that clamav-milter is in the downloaded tarball
8<----------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems a bit schizophrenic. What's the official position?
Incidentally I see at
https://docs.clamav.net/manual/Installing/Packages.html
that
"As of 0.103.x, a from-source install requires the user create a
config for FreshClam, ClamD, and ClamAV-Milter in order to use each
application. A package install, however, is likely to come
pre-configured. Users may wish to modify the configs as needed."
It was an accident that I found this, and it was a bit of a surprise
since AFAICT it doesn't seem to have been mentioned in NEWS.md, the
ClamAV blog nor any announcement. Have I missed something?
Finally while collecting this information I accidentally visited
https://clamav.net/
which my browser complains is using certificate serial number
7B:9E:58:34:A0:F9:17:76:25:F6:A4:11:97:19:9F:3E
which expired on 23 October 2013.
