[Mimedefang] Fwd: clamav vs clamd vs clamscan

[Cliff Hayes]

------Update:
I decided to try clamav.
I did yum install clamav, then freshclam.

However, I am unsure of the format of the following line in mimedefang.pl

$Features{'Virus:CLAMAV'}   = ('/usr/bin' ne '/bin/false' ? '/bin/false' 
: 0);

I did a which on clamav and it is not found.
I did a which on clamscan and it's in /usr/bin.
So I'll do this:
$Features{'Virus:CLAMAV'}   = ('/usr/bin/clamscan' ne '/bin/false' ? 
'/usr/bin/clamscan' : 0);

Is the above correct?  I'm curious about the zero at the end.

I am installing a new mail server on Scientific Linux 6.5.
What is the recommended way to install clam for mimedefang?
I have used binaries in the past but would prefer to use yum package
unless binaries are better for some reason.
I have listed the available packages below ... clamd won't install via
yum ... i get a message that it was obsoleted by clamav.
I see examples on the internet that mimedefang can fall back to clamscan
if clamd fails but I don't know which packages to load to enable that.
Now that clamd is no longer available, what is the recommended course of
action?

clamav-db.x86_64 : Virus database for clamav

clamd.x86_64 : The Clam AntiVirus Daemon

clamav.x86_64 : Anti-virus software

Thanks in advance.
