ClamAV in YDL?

[David Wadson]

First thought would be iptables/firewall on the box blocking SMTP 
traffic.

  I didn't install using Yum but rather just downloaded the latest 
tarball from www.postfix.org and installed from that. It wasn't hard at 
all. There's a great how-to at 
http://www.geocities.com/scottlhenderson/spamfilter.html. The only 
thing it doesn't have is the ClamAV part, but it wasn't too hard to add 
it. I might have kept some updated instructions from the last time I 
installed it. I'll have to check my computer at work tomorrow. A couple 
of times installing as per the how-to for just a spamfilter helped 
familiarize myself with the basics and then I was able to figure out 
installing ClamAV. Amavisd-New's config files are heavily documented!

The nice thing about setting up a proxy server is that you don't have 
to disturb your email server in order to do this. Plus, if the mail 
proxy goes belly up on you, you just redirect your incoming SMTP 
traffic straight to the email server while you fix the proxy.
