My initial Clam install was on a box recieving ~4000 mails daily, but it has since become our primary mail scanner and is now handling ~25000 mails daily on an IBM eServer 325 with a single 1.4GHz Opteron CPU and 1GB of RAM and doing just fine. > Couple of questions about ClamAV. > Can someone give me a run down on stability of ClamAV? clamd has died on me only once, and that was with version 0.65. As a result of that I setup a cronjob to check once every 5 minutes if it was running and start it if it was not, but that cron job has not had to do that even once since I created it over a week ago (and just in case you asked, I just queue mail in case clamd should die, so if it does, then with my current setup it'll just result in a 5min backlog untill it gets started again). > Is it pretty much > just set it up and let it run? Basically, yes. And make sure you are running the freshclam daemon as well to regularly check for updates (I'd say once an hour minimum - and updates are pretty frequent when new virii comes out, and more old virii gets added on a regular basis). > Reliability?
