Clement can work standalone, using 'clamav' to detect Viruses and 'spamassassin' to check about SPAM contents. Viruses are rejected first hand (returning the virus name to the real SMTP originator), detected spam are stored within quarantine if detected spam level is above a accepted level. Clement can also be connected to a remote 'Mentor', which is able to analyze received E-mail context and give an advice according E-mail origin and E-mail recipient past communication pattern. Configuration: All configuration are in the conf directory, within the file './conf/clement.conf'. Variables name and purpose are described in the file itself. Logs: All logs are stored within './logs' directory, logs report all transaction on a real time daily bases. A cron shell is set such only the last 10 days logs are keep in log, older logs can be found within './logs/.Old' directory. Debug: Starting 'clement -h' allow you to know about the available option, option '-d #' allow to start the application in debug mode, unless you set the '-f' (foreground) and '-v' verbose mode, debug information are transmitted to syslogd under LOG_DEBUG channel, make sure you have updated '/etc/syslog.conf' to get a trace of those traces. Sources: Clement is available in source RPM format beside the binary RPM. Bugs & improvements: Sure enough Clement can be improved and bugs could be still running around. Please do not hesitate to send me E-mail to <jmp@safe.ca> if you have patch to submit or suggestions to share. #-----------------------------------------------------------------------
