  • Virus check with mbfido

    From Vince Coen@2:250/1 to All on Monday, December 04, 2017 17:50:03
    Hello All!

    When tossing files I am getting a positive for the DB399 software (both files).

    This is using clamav.

    Have been told by Nick the author of the mailer that his tests using other virus testing tools produces no problems so need to :

    1. Find another free to use virus tester.
    2. Have a way of running mbfido ti and turn off virus testing
    Above on basis the only file present in inbound are the one's under consideration.

    Any suggestions ?

    It's a known false positive from clamav. Nick has repeatedly emailed them without a response. :-(

    Yes I know but I would like a way of tossing these files into the system without a virus check on the basis that I have moved the offending files (only)
    to the inbound directory to toss them immediately.

    Suggestion would be mbfido ti -novirchk (no virus check)
