Hello Antiviruslikes,

Can someone clarify to me whether or not ScanMail is an option that one
can be enabled in clamav.conf and still get some sleep?
I run ClamAv (CVS), but the version does not matter here. I also run on
FreeBSD.
Everytime I uncomment ScanMail in clamav.conf, I do not sleep at all,
unless I switch of my mobile phone and play armadillo ;-)
The same happens when I switch on ScanRaR.
Despite the fact that I run clamd under daemontools, this doesn't seem
to matter because when clamd dies, it dies for good.

To be able to make some final decisions (without necessarily looking at
the code, which for sure I wouldn't understand), can someone kindly take
a minute to explain to me whether

1. It's sane to enable those options (under FreeBSD, *BSD)
2. Does anyone run with those options in other *nix versions?
3. Do they get problems like I do?
4. Is there an explanation for the problems I see under FreeBSD?
   (I'm sure someone will say broken threads support).

As of today, I am running ClamAV version devel-20031211.
I enabled 'Process support'.

In a production env, I have reasons to ask all these, so bear with me.


        cheers
