One of my FreeBSD box that use version 6.3 stop working. Futher investigation lead me to old clamav version that forced to upgrade by clamav.net .
This version of the ClamAV engine is outdated
I think about upgrade the box to newer version like 7.3 or 8.0 release but final choice I pick is :
Let it as is 🙂
Just focus on clamav because everything running well and I don’t want to risk anything that might happen ( ports conflict, new config etc)
My method :
1. Update ports to latest version.
2. Check clamav version
# portversion -v | grep clamav
clamav-0.94.2              < needs updating (port has 0.96_1)
3. Downgrade ports file for clamav using portdowngrade ( I choose version 0.95.3)
4. Reinstall Clamav.
# portversion -v | grep clamav
clamav-0.95.3              < needs updating (port has 0.96_1)
5. Restart clamav
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-clamd restart
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/clamav-freshclam restart
Email server back to business.
P.S : in case you want to skip portdowngrade section you can use my clamav ports.
