Integrate “AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition” into Exim with ExiScan patch

If you would like to integrate “AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition” into Exim, using the ExiScan patch, this is actually quite easy.

Just insert the following fragment into your Exim config:

  # Reject virus infected messages.
  # Add message to implicit X-ACL-Warn: header
  warn  message         = This message contains malware ($malware_name)
        set acl_m0      = cmdline:\
                          /usr/bin/avgscan --arc %s; echo -e \N"\navg_retval $?"\N:\
                          avg_retval 5:\
                          \NVirus identified *(.*)$\N
        malware         = *
        log_message     = This message contains malware (avg:$malware_name)

Let me know if this works for you — I hacked this up quite quickly, but it seems to do its job…
