Bug ID: 1480861
Summary: amavisd default conf conflicts with nmh (scan)
Product: Fedora
Version: 26
Component: amavisd-new
Severity: medium
Assignee: j.orti.alcaine(a)gmail.com
Reporter: jos(a)xos.nl
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org

Description of problem:
When besides amavisd-new also nmh is installed, the default amavisd.conf rule
for Avast antivirus lets amavisd discard *any* incoming mail with:
Blocked INFECTED () {DiscardedInbound,Quarantined}
This is because /bin/scan is called, which is part of nmh (as /usr/bin/scan).
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Any I know of. I found the problem using EPEL 7 on CentOS 7, but the
amavisd-new and nmh packages conflict everywhere the same way.
Solution:
Comment out the this line in /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf:
['avast! Antivirus', '/bin/scan', '{}', [0], [1], qr/\t(.+)/m
],
Because the use of the Avast virusscanner is probably not very common, it would
IMHO be a good idea to comment out this conflicting rule by default. It costed
me quite some time to find out why all my mails were discarded.
