Indeed - the commercial AV products do that. If you set a max level of checking, they simply stop processing after their internal limits have been reached. If clamav exits with an error status under such conditions (I don't know if it does), this would really limit how useful it could be to SMTP scanners/etc... (i.e. just because someone sends a ZIP attachment with 20 levels shouldn't means clamav exits with an error - which would cause a SMTP scanner to think there's a problem, and probably requeue, which becomes an infinite loop) Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
