So does that mean you no longer use Exiscan's "demime" facility, because,
if I understand this correctly, it is sufficient to pass the mime parts
to clamd for scanning. Using it and ScanMail would appear to bring some
"competition" between Exiscan's demime and ClamAV's ScanMail.

I actually use both, and since it hasn't been a resource issue I'm not too worried. The servers in question each scan 100,000+ mails a day and never gets above 1 or 2 on the load.


Basically I still demime *, which drops the .eml as well as all the attachements into the directory.

I've noticed with ScanMail and ScanHTML turned on, 99%+ of the viruses are detected in the .eml file, so the dropped attachments aren't scanned.

Could someone clarify this point?

I have no idea what BCP is on this at this point, as demime + ScanMail may indeed be redundant, but as it doesn't cause problems, I'll leave it until it does, or someone tells me to knock it off :)
