Subject: [exim] Misleading message "clamd: failed to connect to 127.0.0.1: couldn't connect to any host: Connection refused" ?
Hi!
I have defined connection to av_scanner as below:
av_scanner = clamd:127.0.0.1 3310 : 192.168.254.10 3310

On localhost clamav is turned off. When I senr eixar test I got in
exim_main.log:

# exigrep 1X1cPB-0001CM-E1 /var/log/exim/exim_main.log

In clamd.log on remote host I've got:
Mon Jun 30 16:18:01 2014 -> instream(local):
Eicar-Test-Signature(3cc1cc089e6737293a05a391d62a2a56:1676) FOUND

So message "couldn't connect to any host:" is a little misleading, exim
can connect to any host (but not to localhost).
Have you got any idea why clamd uses word "local" even when connection
is from remote host?
Regards,
Marcin
