Subject: [exim] random tcp ports for clamd?
Hello all,

we were having an issue today on one of the mail servers that we have..
and we thought we would setup clamd on a tcp port and allow the other
mail server to use it..

Well we had some odd results..

2006-09-27 14:29:45 1GSeAD-0000Jy-DU malware acl condition: clamd:
connection to 6.7.68.8, port 1358 failed (Connection refused)
2006-09-27 14:29:49 1GSeAD-0000Jz-DX malware acl condition: clamd:
connection to 6.7.68.8, port 1601 failed (Connection refused)
2006-09-27 14:29:49 1GSeAH-0000K9-7g malware acl condition: clamd:
connection to 6.7.68.8, port 1261 failed (Connection refused)
2006-09-27 14:29:52 1GSeAK-0000KF-RG malware acl condition: clamd:
connection to 6.7.68.8, port 1179 failed (Connection refused)
2006-09-27 14:30:16 1GSeAH-0000K9-DV malware acl condition: clamd:
connection to 6.7.68.8, port 1933 failed (Connection refused)

These are machines not behind a router and are not being nat'd, we did
have the port firewalled off (FreeBSDs PF)

pass in quick inet proto tcp from 6.7.68.15/32 to ($ext_if) port { 3310
} modulate state

Exim version 4.62 #0 (FreeBSD 4.11) built 24-Jun-2006 22:35:09
is the version of exim on this server..

Is this a known problem? Or is something odd going on with that?

av_scanner              = clamd:6.7.68.8 3310


Is what I have defined in this server..

sockstat -4 | grep 3310
clamav   clamd      90696 5  tcp4   6.7.68.8:3310       *:*


Any ideas?
