Install ClamWin & Configure for SmarterMail

Note that for high volume mail servers you should look into usage of ClamAV and have at least 2Gb of RAM and a 2.4Ghz core CPU.

Connect via Remote Desktop

Open Internet Explorer and Browse to http://www.clamwin.com

Select Download and Save the Installation Package

Select Run

Select Run

Click Next

Select "I accept the agreement" and Click Next

Click Install

Click Finish

Now you will need to reboot, after which you will have a systray icon for the management of ClamWin. Right click on this icon and select Configure ClamWin.

On the "Advanced" tab, check "Treat Files As Mailboxes"

On the "Limits" tab, check "Extract Files From Archives". You will probably want to make certain the file size to scan up to matches, or exceeds the maximum mail/file size in the mail server.

On the "Internet Updates" tab, you will want this enabled.

The next thing you will want to do is setup a batch file for the scan. Below is an example:

@echo off

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\ClamWin\bin"

clamscan.exe --database="C:\ProgramData\.clamwin\db" "%1" --detect-broken --log="C:\clamav.log"

You can save this to the root of your C: drive as clamscan.bat

After you have ClamWin and the batch file in place, you will want to login as the admin user in SmarterMail.

From the Security Menu click on Antivirus Administration. Once you are on this page you should see an entry for "Enable Command-Line AV" to check off and then on the Command-Line AV tab you will want to enter the following: c:\clamscan.bat %FILEPATH

 

Once you've saved your settings in SmarterMail, you should be set and now all messages in your spool will be scanned by ClamWin.
