Hi,
I have server with ClodLinux + WHM/cPanel. I have some questions for configure correctly ClamAV and scan the email malware:
1- I installed ClamAV since WHM plugins, I need do anything for Exim scans malware in emails with clamd?. Or this is automatic?.
2- ClamAV is update automatically when update WHM/cPanel?, or I need do anything for update ClamAV?.
Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

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
