If clamd dies my setup falls back on using clamscan which is slower and causes mail to queue up, but it's better than letting it through unscanned. It has only happened once that clamd died, so I don't consider it a huge problem, but just to be on the safe side I have setup a cron job to monitor it every 5 minutes and start it up again if it should happen again - so, that way I should only be relying on clamscan for a maximum of 5min which is not a problem. And should both fail I'll queue mail instead of letting it through unscanned (and yes, the size of the queue is monitored so I get an alert if it should ever build up). /Jesper Juhl ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
