virus definitions update e-mail notifications

[dpetrek]

Hi,
is it possible to disable e-mail notifications when antivirus is updated (clamd, f-prot...)?
How would one do that?

Hello!

Go to

Code: Select all

/var/log/copfilter/default/opt/tools/bin

there are update scripts for all virus scanners. Got to, for example, check-updates_clamav.sh and comment line 62 - 99 and no mail will be sent on update in future!
Do so with any other update scripts! All mail section begins with

Code: Select all

if [ "x${SMTP_HOST}" = "x" -o "x${EMAIL_ADR}" = "x" ] ; then

It's not possible, to deactivate update notification with one click, sorry!

Great, thanks!

Hi,
for all users too lazy to mod their files themselves a mod to do so automatically:

http://severus.eurowireless.de/no_upd_mail_notif.tar.gz
http://severus.eurowireless.de/no_upd_m ... tar.gz.md5

download the file.

Code: Select all

cd <chosen download directory>
tar vzxf no_upd_mail_notif.tar.gz
cd no_upd_mail_notif
./install

Regards Severus
