Hello, @computereleon

You can check this previously asked question in the cPanel forum:

https://forums.cpanel.net/threads/clamav-email-question.615999/

After installing ClamAV for cPanel, you will probably need to take some further steps for full functionality.

Go to WHM >> Service Configuration >> Exim Configuration Manager > Basic Editor > Security .... and enable (switch ON) the following:

Scan messages for malware from authenticated senders (exiscan).
If you have the ClamAVconnector plugin installed, messages from authenticated senders are not scanned until you enable this option. It is recommended that you scan mail for authenticated senders when possible to reduce the risk of viruses spreading inside your network.​

Scan outgoing messages for malware
If you have the ClamAVconnector plugin installed, enabling this option will reject mail bound for non-local domains that test positive for malware.

Hope that this helps!
Regards,
Alex

    Thank you very much, you are the best.

    I have a last question: in mentioned options says I need have installed “ClamAVconnector”.

    The “ClamAVconnector” is “ClamAV for cPanel”?, or is other plugin?.

    Thank you again!

      Hi, @computereleon

      It is basically the same product. Usually you will navigate in WHM to Plugins.“ Check the box next to "clamavconnector” and click save at the bottom of the page. This will install ClamAV.

      Hope that this helps!
      Regards,
      Alex
