Hi,

Today I saw this in logs:

Nov 19 09:29:38 mailfilter-in MailScanner[4288]: Clamd::ERROR:: yy1.pdf/Access denied. ERROR :: ./0E75E100907.A0A5E/tnefGK2zbT
Nov 19 09:29:38 mailfilter-in MailScanner[4288]: Clamd::ERROR:: xx2.pdf/Access denied. ERROR :: ./0E75E100907.A0A5E/tnefGK2zbT

Is there something to be done?

Are these encrypted and/or password protected?

That's coming from ClamAV.

Is this set to no in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf?

Code: Select all

Block Encrypted Messages = no

In /etc/clamd.conf:

Code: Select all

# Mark encrypted archives as viruses (Encrypted.Zip, Encrypted.RAR).
# Default: no
ArchiveBlockEncrypted no

Seems to be an issue with the clamav 0.99.2

Might try this...

Code: Select all

sudo echo "Heuristics.Encrypted.PDF" >> /var/lib/clamav/local.ign2
sudo service clamd restart

You can ignore those errors. They are yara rules that are only applicable on windows.
