Eicar Testing

[Jayanta Ghosh]

Dear List,

I have configured a mail server on RHEL 6.1(64 Bit) with the following components:-

1. Postfix

2. Courier-authlib

3. Courier-imap

4. MySql

5. Maildrop

6. Spamassassin

7. Clamav

8. Amavis-new



     The mail server is functioning properly. But I was testing the functionality of Amavis-new & Clamav. I was testing this by sending the EICAR string. The issue is when I am sending the EICAR string in the body of the email the Amavis is not detecting any virus pattern in it and eventually the email is passed by Amavis. But when I am sending the same EICAR string as an attachment (A text file containing the string ) then the Amavis is blocking the mail from getting delivered. 

My query is do I need to change any of the settings in the clamd.conf or amavisd.conf file, So that the EICAR string written in the body of the email will be blocked by amavis. I am also attaching both the configuration herein.

Kindly help.

Regards,
Jayanta
