> Ok, clamav-devel-20040726 contains a UPX unpacker, which isn't in 0.75.1


Hello,

First of all, please don't consider this a gripe. It's not. I'm
VERY happy and grateful for ClamAV. The simple truth is that it's
saving my company a good bit of money (when was the last time you got
a quote from McAfee for server licenses? It ain't cheap.), and
saving our customers a LOT of headaches! Great job!

Having said that, I have two questions:

1.) When is a release expected of the devel version with the UPX unpacker
    and the spiffy new memory management techniques? I'm just curious as
    it looks really nice and I can't wait to put it on my production
    servers.

2.) I'm thinking of writing a general purpose Email module for the OCaml
    programming language. However, I think the ClamAV project is PROOF
    that there are more ways to package email than any one person can
    count. ASCII, Unicode, MIME, TNEF, UPX, Base64, etc... the list goes
    on and on, with more coming out every day, it seems.

    In addition, a great email program (like ClamAV) should do it's job
    without fatal failure despite munged and broken MTAs and mail clients
    making a mockery of the existing standards. I won't expect any less
    from an Email module I write. Reliability will be my #1 goal, followed
    closely by universalness, clean/correct interface design, and speed,
    respectively.

    So, with that in mind, is there a document, or a group of documents
    out there that I can read (gimme RFCs, non-official standards, ANYTHING)
    that describe the plethora of standards ClamAV uses or plans to use
    in the future? Or maybe just a general list of what's currently out
    there?

Thanks!
