Hello
I Hope this is the right place to post documentation issues
From the 4.6.x pdf
40.1 Scanning for viruses
The malware ACL condition lets you connect virus scanner software to
Exim. It supports a “generic”
interface to scanners called via the shell, and specialized
interfaces for “daemon” type virus scanners,
which are resident in memory and thus are much faster.
You can set the av_ scanner option in first part of the Exim
configuration file to specify which
scanner to use, together with any additional options that are needed.
The basic syntax is as follows:
av_scanner = <scanner-type>:<option1>:<option2>:[...]
this is corrrect but then.......
clamd
This daemon-type scanner is GPL and free. You can get it at
http://
www.clamav.net/. Some
older versions of clamd do not seem to unpack MIME containers, so it
used to be recommended
to unpack MIME attachments in the MIME ACL. This no longer believed
to be necessary. One
option is required: either the path and name of a UNIX socket file,
or a hostname or IP number,
and a port, separated by space, as in the second of these examples:
av_scanner = clamd:/opt/clamd/socket
av_scanner = clamd:192.168.2.100 1234
sepparated by a colon
av_scanner = clamd:192.168.2.100:1234

IF you enter the parameters as indicated in the clamd part of the
docs then exim seems to use a random port
