virus.conf - Sets the action to be performed if the virus engine fails
/opt/pmx/etc/virus.conf
- onerror
-
Specifies the action that should be performed if the virus engine fails.
Set this value based on whether it is more important to prevent viruses
('tempfail') or deliver messages ('passthru').
Values: tempfail | passthru
Default: tempfail
- <daemon>
-
If the
daemon
option is enabled in the the sophos.conf manpage configuration file,
these options are used as the daemon's operating parameters.
- port
-
Specifies the port used by PureMessage to communicate with the daemon.
The default is local:/tmp/pmx-vscan.sock.
- concurrency_limit
-
Specifies how many concurrent requests the anti-virus daemon can
service at any given time. The default is the number of CPUs
multiplied by 2.
- reinit_limit
-
Specifies the maximum number of messages each anti-virus process may
scan before being restarted. Starting a process has a large overhead
compared to the incremental cost of scanning an additional message.
The value '0' means there is no limit, and the daemon will only be
restarted when it times out or crashes. The default is 1024.
- queue_limit
-
Specifies the maximum number of messages to queue before refusing to
accept connections from PureMessage. Increasing this number too much means
the daemon may consume large amounts of memory for its queue. The value
'0' means there is no limit. The default is 4096.
- inactive_limit
-
Specifies the maximum amount of time to tolerate apparent inactivity from
the daemon. This is intended to detect bugs where the daemon has crashed or
entered an infinite loop while scanning a message. This must be lower than
the absolute maximum time to be useful. The default is 2 minutes.
- scan_limit
-
Specifies the absolute maximum amount of time to wait for the daemon to
scan a message before returning a timeout. The default is 5 minutes.
- respawn_wait
-
Specifies how long the daemon should wait before respawning a process that
dies unexpectedly. If the process dies without scanning a message, the
daemon will wait for the time to elapse before restarting it. The default
is 5 minutes.
- </daemon>
