Have to disagree. With so mnay of the major providers haveing multiple-HOUR delays through their system as standard, a delay of one queue interval for a single message won't be noticed. (Comcast comes to mind) Futher, the damage from a viruses getting into your network, if it spreads, can be very expensive in terms of support, cleaning, etc. The other solution, if mail is that important, is multiple MX servers, each with their own clam-av. One fails, the other should be tried immediately. Odds are slim that BOTH will be down at the same time. ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/ ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Clamav-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clamav-users
