[Rspamd-Users] Discarding email detected as viruses by ClamAV

[Danjel Jungersen]

Hi.

I don't see a response on this one.

Have you made it work?

In: /etc/rspamd/local.d/antivirus.conf
I have this:
clamav {
  attachments_only = false;
  symbol = "CLAM_VIRUS";
  type = "clamav";
  action = "reject";
  servers = "/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl";
  retransmits = 5;
  timeout = 60;
}

If I read this correctly:
https://docs.rspamd.com/configuration/metrics/

And you have rspamd version 1.9 or above, you should be able to replace 
reject with discard

I hope it works!

:-)
