antiCLAM. Waste of good memory.

[SamTzu]

I currently have this command running in cron:

echo "ConcurrentDatabaseReload no" >> /etc/clamav/clamd.conf && systemctl restart clam*

I would like to disable all Clam related services in our PMGW.

Any suggestions on how to do that?

You can disable the scanning of mails with clamav by adding:

clamav 0

to the admin section of /etc/pmg/pmg.conf

additionally the pmg-hourly service currently restarts clamav-daemon once per hour (we'll try to fix this to also consider the setting in pmg.conf) - so it might be necessary to mask the service

I hope this helps!

Is there a way to set "ConcurrentDatabaseReload no"? If I set it in /etc/clamav/clamd.conf, it's just removed

The clamav config is managed by the templateing system:
https://pmg.proxmox.com/pmg-docs/pmg-admin-guide.html#pmgconfig_template_engine

just update the template (and run `pmgconfig sync` and restart the daemon)

I hope this helps!
