+ 3. ClamAV 0.95 is now required for ClamAV support in Exim, unless
+ Local/Makefile sets: WITH_OLD_CLAMAV_STREAM=yes
+ Note that this switches Exim to use a new API ("INSTREAM") and a future
+ release of ClamAV will remove support for the old API ("STREAM").
+
+ The av_scanner option, when set to "clamd", now takes an optional third
+ part, "local", which causes Exim to pass a filename to ClamAV instead of
+ the file content. This is the same behaviour as when clamd is pointed at
+ a Unix-domain socket. For example:
+
+ av_scanner = clamd:192.0.2.3 1234:local
+
+ 4. There is now a -bmalware option, restricted to admin users. This option
+ takes one parameter, a filename, and scans that file with Exim's
+ malware-scanning framework. This is intended purely as a debugging aid
+ to ensure that Exim's scanning is working, not to replace other tools.
