Hi

I have been running clamd 0.60 for quite some time now on our mail
gateway in a milter setup (not the ClamAV milter, but our own one that
"speaks" the clamd protocol).

clamd in this version is not stable and I wonder if it is the server
part or libclamav thats causing the trouble.

I have worked a lot with Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine and I think that
their protocol is superior to the clamd protocol.  SAVSE "speaks" ICAP
plus an elaborate native protocol.  I would like to see clamd support
ICAP as well.  The clamd native protocol is very problematic when
connecting the server through a firewall, it has the same defects as FTP
(the server choosing an arbitrary port number and handing it out to the
client).

Now I wonder about the "right way":  Enhance clamd (new native protocol
+ ICAP) or write a completely new daemon?

Any thoughts about it?

Regards,
Marc
