Hello,

A question: is it possible to configure amavis-new so it sends files to
clamd without using a Unix socket (which most of the time implies a
local clamd daemon) but using the TCP protocol to a clamd running in a
remote machine?

Thanks,
Rodolfo.

Zimbra has used it for years. However, I had to disable that functionality
when we added IPv6 support because the clamav devs have yet to add ipv6
support for this feature.

clamav has the ability to receive the content via network but I never saw a setup using it.

with local installed clamd amavisd-new has only to provide a pointer into the filesystem via the unix-socket.
clamd on a remote machine has to get *all data* via network. That will increase network load.
