Creating custom Proxy settings for ClamAV

PROBLEM
I need to add custom proxy settings for my Amtail ClamAV installation.

ENVIRONMENT

• On-Premise Server + WebMail Installations: Version 6.0 > Current Version

CAUSE
ClamAV configuration settings.

RESOLUTION

1. First you will need to locate the the freshclam configuration file.
   

   cd /usr/local/atmail/av/etc

2. You can now open the file with your preferred text editor.
   

   vi freshclam.conf

3. When you have opened the file, search for Proxy. The following text should appear.
   

   # Proxy settings
   #HTTPProxyServer myproxy.com
   #HTTPProxyPort 1234
   #HTTPProxyUsername myusername
   #HTTPProxyPassword mypass

4. Now you will need to edit the following text, changing the appropriate details. When you are finished editing the proxy settings save and quit from the file.
   

   # Proxy settings
   HTTPProxyServer myproxy.com
   HTTPProxyPort 1234
   HTTPProxyUsername myusername
   HTTPProxyPassword mypass
