Steps to properly install clamav on my 1&1/FC6/PSA8.6/SA

I have had users complaining of viruses in emails and wanted to install clamav. But I wasnt sure about the difference between clamav/clamd/clamav-server.

I have about 70 domains a a few hundred email accounts and was concerned about screwing up the server by running "yum install clamav".

Is it as easy as typing "yum install clamav" then running freshclam? Do I need to do anything else? Will a default install be enough to keep out MOST of the viruses?

If anyone has a link to (or a simple yes or no if I can screw everything up) a step by step, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!!!

P.S. I did search and could not find exactly what I needed...

Posted checks I run through after a clam update, which probably covers much of what you need: http://atomicrocketturtle.com/forum/vie ... ght=#12653

Are you using qmail-scanner? Do you realize that Fedora Core 6 has reached End of Life?

No qmail-scanner yet ( I havent installed clamd).

Yes I know its EOL, but I am more worried about the upgrade to FC7 or whatever the newest is. I would think that way more could go wrong doing that upgrade than an upgrade to plesk.

Am I in any immediate danger not upgrading? Can I upgrade without having to re-image the whole server?

Thanks in advance!!!
